Crochet is to summer what wool is to winter. Very necessary. Sure, you can make patterns by looping yarn with a hooked needle any time of the year. But those loops allow air to flow through so crochet is usually cooler than many other fabric options this time of year. That's probably why outlets like Vogue are hyping the fact that crochet skirts are surging right now. We're broadening our horizons, though, by skipping traditional neutral creations in favor of colorful crochet must-haves.

There's actually plenty of options out there right now. Mango is practically a one-stop shop offering dresses, trousers, shirts and shorts in vibrant hues. Because it's Mango, everything is reasonably priced. The most expensive item rings in at only $139.99. Zara is another good source with its short-sleeve top pulling double duty as a swimsuit cover-up.

Of course, there are designer pieces to fawn over, too. Some definitely cost big bucks. See Jacquemus' vest and Susan Fang's light purple skirt with bead accents. There are a few designer deals to be had. Only $294 for a pair of red hot Moschino lounge pants is practically a steal. Wales Bonner's ties with Adidas are still going strong and you can snag the pair's crochet shorts for under $200.
