Very's Pointelle Crochet Dress is a summer wardrobe must-have that nails this season's crochet trend, and you can wear it for any occasion from holidays to festivals When it comes to summer fashion, it's all about combining practical picks with trending styles, and a crochet dress manages to check all the boxes . It's lightweight and airy enough to keep you cool, whilst still giving you a chic, boho-inspired look that can be worn everywhere from the beach to your favourite festival with just a few styling tweaks. Stripes are another major trend this summer, and this V by Very X Tara Maynard Stripe Pointelle Mini Crochet Dress, £35 here , manages to tick off every single box.

The dress comes from Very's collaboration with influencer Tara Mayanard , which is packed full of colourful and chic summer-ready buys, including brightly coloured co-ords and bold prints to tailored neutrals and wardrobe staples like linen trousers. The Pointelle Crochet Dress is a chic way of wearing the summer-ready trend, and has a 60s inspired silhouette, with a knee-length fit and long flared sleeves. Rather than a skin-tight, bodycon fit, the dress has a relaxed, slouchy style that skims over your figure whilst still showing off your shape.

You can stick with the oversized look for a low-key beachside look, or accessorise with a statement waistbelt to create a more defined silhouette that's perfect for heading to the bar. The dress has a timeless striped pattern and an open-weave pointelle style k.
