If, back around the dawn of MR PORTER, you’d have told us that, a little more than a decade later, menswear would be going crazy for crochet, we’d have thought you were pulling our leg. But, in our defence, back in 2011, a plucky downtown New York designer by the name of Ms Emily Bode was yet to launch her namesake brand, kit out the likes of Mr Harry Styles and Jay-Z in her craftsmanship-forward, crochet-laden pieces and completely reshape the dominant menswear aesthetic in the process. Since the label’s meteoric ascent, a slew of artisanal, crochet-loving brands has come to the fore, from Nicholas Daley to Story Mfg. Crochet has even started cropping up in the collections of the big-name behemoths, with the likes of CELINE HOMME and LOEWE all getting in on the act. Perhaps you’re not yet on the crochet train, though. Perhaps you’re still convinced anything of the sort will have you looking like you’ve escaped a tree-hugging hippy cult, or as though you’ve been dressed by dear granny. If that’s the case, then cast aside your aspersions for a few minutes and allow us to present three brilliant crochet pieces that we’re sure will tempt you. And because we’re feeling extra generous, we’ve even laid out all the extra bits to style them with, too.
