How to Work Crochet Into Your Wardrobe

Working crochet into your wardrobe is simple with a few easy steps. Crochet is very versatile & can be worn in an assortment of ways, not just hats, scarves, & sweaters. I make it my mission to expand the boundaries of crochet because the possibilities are limitless.

The first step when you're introducing crochet into your wardrobe is to start small. Pair a crocheted bag with your outfit & it'll pop in a whole new way. Standard bags can often be expected, but crochet adds another dimension that makes it all the more distinct & interesting. You can also wear crocheted earrings, chokers, or bracelets as a way to dip your toe into it.

Next, choose a layering piece. You can wear a vest or a cardigan over your outfit to give it a whole new vibe, and if you're feeling bolder, try a longer crocheted garment for more drama. Make this the main focal point of your outfit and build around it, including complementary colors and clothing styles so it all comes together. If you're going for a bohemian look, try a peasant blouse and maxi skirt, and if you're going for something more casual, pair it with a vintage tee and some cargo shorts or pants.

The last step is to attempt something bigger & bolder, like a crochet dress or a matching crocheted outfit. You can start with solid colors and then work your way up to patterns. If that still seems daunting, just remember you can always switch out pieces to keep the comfort of your standard fashion present. A crocheted crop top looks so good with a pair of jeans, and a mini-dress can be rocked with ballet flats for a stylishly simple look.

Crochet works well with many different styles, so no matter what yours is, you can find the right crochet piece that can bring something new to your wardrobe. From crochet accessories to layering pieces to outfits and dresses, there's no limit to the wonderful combinations you can make!
