C.onquista social media, from TikTok to Instagram. The crochet hat, signed or in a DIY key, it is the accessory of the moment. But to kick off the trend it was precisely the Spring-Summer 2022 fashion shows, with headdresses that take up the most popular model and reinterpret it in an elegant key, suggesting the most chic alternative.

Where we have seen it
Yes, because if on the profiles of stars and trendsetters the hat that is the most popular is the bucket hat in multicolor yarn, made with the crochet technique – the easiest to replicate DIY – on the catwalk we spot a refined version of the classic fisherman’s hat: the crochet cap, which mimics the most popular model in processing, but is decidedly more sought after. The features are those of the hat from pool Sixties, short on the forehead and bandana effect; the style detail, however, lies precisely in the perforated mesh.
Instead of a mix of different shades, the designers focus on pastel shadeslike the aquamarine blue spotted at the fashion show in Giorgio Armani Spring-Summer 2022. The other, original beach caps and surroundings that parade on the designer’s catwalk: bright pink, or with the two colors intertwined together.

How to match the crochet hat in Summer 2022
More complex to replicate, but easier to carry. There is no doubt that the crochet cap, compared to the crochet hat, gives all heads: it does not have a brim, a dilemma for those with a small face, and it adapts to the shape of the garment. In addition, it has a irresistible touch of yesteryear. Reflected precisely by the outfit orchestrated by the Italian Maison: an out of the water made up of a bandeau top in intertwined satin threads and light Turkish trousers, a summer piece that King Giorgio dusts off often and willingly. The hat incorporates the rest of the look in its nuance, as well as the other accessories: i ethno-chic jewelrylike the long earrings and the multi-stranded stone and wood cascade necklace.
A perfect ensemble for an aperitif overlooking the sea, elevated by the choice of shoes, the dancers with metal “T” strap and pvc detail, and the plexiglass bag. But nothing prevents you from match the crochet cap to the swimsuit, just like the It Girls do with the crochet fisherman hat. The styling tip is a winner, and the technique… at least in Summer 2022, is unrivaled.
