Tips
To make the most of your crochet top, consider layering it with a nude tank top or bra underneath. This is especially important if you’re wearing a woven top that may appear revealing. A neutral-colored camisole will draw attention away from the crocheted design and allow it to be the focal point of your outfit. When the temperature drops, add a loose cardigan over your crochet shirt. Flowy cardigans look great paired with these tops, and can help keep you warm on chilly nights.
Look for a cardigan that complements the texture and weight of your top, and let it hang loosely over your shoulders. To elevate the overall look, pair your woven shirt with formal pants. Balance is key to creating a polished outfit. Choose a more sophisticated pencil skirt or leggings to pair with your crochet top. By combining the two, you can add depth and interest to your ensemble.
Don’t be afraid to add some personality to your outfit with vibrant, interesting patterns on a skirt, shorts, or pants. This will help you fully embrace the hippie aesthetic and create a unique look. The contrast between the solid-colored crochet top and an eye-catching patterned bottom will make your outfit stand out. Finally, complete your crochet-inspired look by adding a lightweight, unstructured bag that complements your outfit.
A bag with fringe or flower prints will add to the bohemian vibe, while still providing ample space for all your belongings.

To complete the look, swap in some black jeans and boots that complement your ensemble. The result is a cozy yet chic getup that’s perfect for colder days.
