Wearing crochet with style is all about finding the right balance and incorporating stunning pieces into your wardrobe in a modern and chic way.
Layer your pieces for a chic look
Use crochet pieces as layering elements. You could layer a crochet vest over a simple tank top or a crochet cardigan over a stunning dress to add visual interest to your outfit.
Style up and accessorise your look
Incorporate crochet accessories into your outfit for a subtle touch of crochet. Crochet hats, bags, and jewellery can add a bohemian vibe to your look.
Mix textures for a balanced appearance
Pair your crochet pieces with contrasting textures for a balanced look. For example, pair a crochet top with denim jeans and a cardigan or even a leather skirt for an edgy contrast.
Choose colours and personalise your outfit
Pay attention to colour coordination when styling your crochet pieces. Choose colours that complement each other and the rest of your outfit to create a cohesive look. The Daily Record features celebrity Michelle Keegan’s new style collection which includes a crochet set.
Mix your patterns for a chic ensemble
Don’t be afraid to mix crochet with other patterns. Pair a crochet piece with striped, floral, or geometric patterns for a fun and eclectic look.
As well as clothing, crochet blankets also make a fine and stylish addition to your collection. You can choose one of the many crochet blanket kits available and you will be able to create your own project tailored to your interests. These crochet blanket kits typically contain all the necessary materials to complete the project, including yarn and pattern instructions.
Accessorise your outfit with neutrals
If you’re unsure about how to style crochet, start with neutral-coloured crochet pieces. Neutrals like white, cream and beige are very versatile and easy to style with other items in your existing wardrobe.
Confidence is key to crochet
Lastly, wear your crochet with confidence. Whether you’re rocking a crochet dress, top or accessories, owning your look will always make it stylish, and you will feel confident too.
Wardrobe habits that make any outfit work
Crochet pieces look their best when the rest of the wardrobe is built on solid foundations. Dressing well is less about following the latest trend and more about investing in classics that last season after season, such as well-fitting jeans, tailored trousers, a plain T-shirt or a good blazer. These staples give statement pieces something calm to sit against.
What you wear should also reflect who you are. Take time to find clothes you genuinely enjoy and do not be afraid to experiment until something feels right. Small details add up as well: polished shoes, a good haircut and looking after your skin all make an outfit look more considered.
Accessories can lift a simple look instantly. Choose a watch you are happy to wear every day, sunglasses that suit your face, and hats, scarves and gloves in timeless styles. For anything structured, good tailoring makes all the difference, so a reliable tailor is worth finding.
