A piece usually reserved for the holiday suitcase, which this season is rediscovered as versatile. AND it is also worn in the citywaiting to unleash it on the water’s edge.
Where have we seen it
The identikit of the crochet top of the moment: pattern croppedmade with a cotton yarn in neutral, beige or earthy tones, tank top or t-shirt cut, with a sensual mesh effect. Just like the one that appeared on the catwalk of Albert Ferretti Spring-Summer 2023: the designer adds a precious touch to the classic beach model, embroidering it in hologram metallic sequins that form a romantic motif with floral references on the front hem.

The fashion show garment, hyper-luxurious thanks to the applications, can easily be replicated in style by creating a DIY crochet short top for the most willing and accustomed to knitting. And you can easily find similar ones – simpler and similar to the traditional fishing net textures – in flea markets and low-cost shops.
How to match the mesh top in Spring-Summer 2023
The suggestion to match the designer’s crochet top, however, is irreplaceable. First of all, the translation of use and second-hand: from cover-up top to original under jacket; from the beach to the ceremony. Just replace the bikini with a bralette or triangle bra in nude color. The urban style ally of seasonal fish? The classic office suit, in a different color from the dark ones. Banned black and navy, a colorful suit it is the best piece to enhance the more traditional crochet top.
Pay attention to the length, which must be at the navel, so that you can also wear it on summer evenings in the city with tailored high-waisted trousers. If the matching single-breasted long jacket gives that extra touch of elegance, nothing prevents you from taking it off if the weather permits. On the feet, minimal nude sandals: better to avoid laces and ropes, which just like the dark blue tone of the suit would fossilize the outfit too much on the obvious marine cliché.
A pair of oval glasses as a diva, and the perfect outfit for a different evening or a special occasion is served. Sparkling jewels and accessories are not needed: the “scales” shine by themselves, even without the addition of frills or embroidery. At most, golden details: a bangle or basic earrings.
