As summer approaches, interest in breathable yet stylish fashion items is rising in Korea, highlighting 'crochet' pieces. The intricate hand-knit look and vintage patterns of crochet are gaining popularity, especially with the rise of 'Fisherman Aesthetic' trends that encapsulate leisurely maritime lifestyles. The demand for crochet garments, such as cardigans, hats, and bags, has doubled in volume from last year, according to 29CM, a fashion retail platform. Various designer brands are launching crochet items, emphasizing natural elegance. This season, even men’s fashion sees a crossover, with crochet offering cool comfort and a sophisticated summer vibe. Accessories like hats, scarves, and bags crafted with crochet provide a nostalgic, bohemian appeal, just in time for the summer retro fashion trend in Korea.
