Crochet is emerging as one of the must-have fashion trends of summer 2026. In Saint-Tropez, American model Bella Hadid provides a new illustration: during a day on board a yacht, she opted for a pink crochet beach outfit which revives interest in this artisanal technique.
Crochet, the key trend of the summer
The centerpiece of this day in Saint-Tropez was a pink crochet two-piece swimsuit, whose details reveal true craftsmanship. Up close, the knit reveals a subtle zigzag pattern along the waistband, while small white crochet bows punctuate the top.
White floral embellishments complete this look, staying true to a romantic aesthetic that's very much in vogue. To perfect the look, Bella Hadid layered an oversized collared shirt and opted for slim black sunglasses: a way of approaching beachwear as an everyday piece.
