Crochet is a wondeful fabric to opt for in the summer as it’s not only chic and stylish, but cooling, too. At Roman, a particular crochet piece is winning over shoppers – the Crochet Tie Front Knit Tunic in three colours, cream, khaki and black.
Ideal for holidays and warm weather at home, shoppers adore the length of the top as it falls just below the hips. This provides coverage when layering over swimwear or shorts, but also offers an elegant finish when paired with trousers or a maxi skirt.
Roman shoppers can save money off the otherwise £35 cream colour with the code AFRPLC25Q226. This brings the cream shade down to £26.25 for new Roman customers or existing customers can use the code MOOD and get it for £31.50.
The black shade is currently on sale for £28 and khaki is down to £26. All colours come in sizes small to extra large. Made from 100% cotton, the cooling top features boho style long flared sleeves and a pretty tie front.
It can be worn alone with swimwear, but when not by a beach or pool it needs a top or cami layered underneath. This may be problematic for some people. At Next, this £29 Crochet Knit Floral Tank is made from a closed crochet material so doesn’t need layering. It’s also made from 100% cotton and features delicate scalloped edging.
Alternatively, there’s the Marks and Spencer Cotton Blend Crochet-Style Collared Cardigan for £32. This comes in cream or red and is a slightly more formal take on the trend thanks to the button-up front and collar.
Roman customers have left rave reviews for the Crochet Tie Front Knit Tunic. Someone said: “It looks flattering and I like the crochet work.” A second person stated: “Washes nice, is a good length, fabric nice and soft. Great for summer.”
Speaking on the length, another customer wrote: “Looks comfortable for summer, is modest and good length and stylish.” And similar thoughts were shared by another reviewer that commented: “Love love love this. Great length and lovely quality.”
The versatile item can be worn throughout the summer, complementing linen or denim wonderfully. It’s machine washable so shoppers should not need to worry about damaging the material or spending money on dry cleaning.
