# Crocheted Beach Fashion The Latest Marie Claire US Issue Stars Model Behati Prinsloo By Meghan Young | Published 2016-04-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-claire-us References: [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com/behati-prinsloo-tommy-hilfiger-marie-claire/) & [marieclaire](http://www.marieclaire.com/) By the looks of this editorial featured in the latest issue of Marie Claire US, crocheted fashion is making a big comeback.

It's actually hard to associate these pieces with the Hilfiger brand. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Crocheted Fashion:** Crocheted fashion is making a big comeback as showcased in the Marie Claire US editorial. - **Laid-back Luxe:** The laid-back yet luxurious looks in the Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot strike the perfect balance. - **Floral Print Maxi Dresses:** Floral print maxi dresses featured in the Marie Claire US editorial are a fashionable choice for the beach. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the resurgence of crocheted fashion as a disruptive innovation opportunity. - **Photography:** Photographers can draw inspiration from the laid-back yet luxurious aesthetic of the Marie Claire US editorial. - **Retail:** Retailers can capitalize on the popularity of floral print maxi dresses as highlighted in the editorial. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crochet Bikini Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coverups-and-swimwear.md) - [Summer-Ready Crochet Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-open-knit.md) - [Beach-Inspired Spring Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-kind-of-guise-3.md) - [Island-Inspired Summer Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sel-de-mer.md) - [Resort-Ready Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-oliver.md) - [Local Hotspot Fashion Shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign.md) - [Sustainable Statement Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animalia.md) - [Print-Focused Swim Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta.md) - [Frilly Feminine Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunza-g.md)
