The Art of Occasion: Styling Openwork Knits for Memorable Moments
As we enjoy the beautiful, golden days of early September, our calendars are often filled with the last and most memorable warm-weather moments of the year— a special evening under the stars. These are the occasions that call for an outfit that feels just as special.
Our Delicate & Openwork Knits collection, with its intricate, artisanal charm, is the perfect foundation for these cherished events. This is your ultimate guide to styling these beautiful pieces for every memorable moment on your agenda.
The Ultimate Vacation Staple
The airy, open weave and handcrafted feel of crochet make it the heart of a sophisticated resort-wear wardrobe. These pieces are designed for a relaxed, yet incredibly chic, vacation setting, where comfort and style are equally important.
For your next warm-weather escape, frame your look around our Crochet Pants With Drawstrings or the elegant Maxi Crochet Skirt. Worn as a cover-up over a simple one-piece swimsuit or paired with a sleek bodysuit for dinner, these pieces exude a sense of effortless, bohemian luxury that is perfect for a getaway.
The Festival Chic Look
A late-summer music or arts festival calls for a look that is cool, comfortable, and has a touch of elevated, bohemian spirit. An openwork knit top is the perfect centerpiece for this aesthetic.
Create a chic festival look with our One Shoulder Crochet Crop Top. Its modern, asymmetrical silhouette gives the traditional craft a contemporary edge. Pair it with your favorite high-waisted denim shorts or create a stunning matching set with the Lettuce Hem Mini Crochet Skirt. It’s a look that is confident, comfortable, and artfully stylish.
The Romantic Date Night
For a special, romantic evening, a piece with the delicate allure of lace is always a perfect choice. It creates a look that is both sophisticated and undeniably feminine.
Our Ruched Lace Skirt With High Slit is a stunning option for a memorable date night. The intricate texture of the lace, combined with the flattering ruched detail, creates a beautiful silhouette. Style this piece with a simple silk camisole and delicate heeled sandals for a look that is both alluring and timelessly elegant.
The Transitional Layer
The beauty of a versatile knit is its ability to transition between seasons. A lightweight crochet vest is a perfect example of a piece that can work for the last days of summer and the first cool days of fall.
Showcase the versatility of our Crochet Button Front Vest Top. On a warm day, wear it buttoned as a top on its own. To transition it into early fall, simply layer it open over a simple long-sleeve tee or a fitted dress. This adds a touch of artisanal texture and proves its value as a hardworking, multi-season piece.
Delicate, openwork knits are the perfect choice when you want your outfit to feel as special as the occasion itself. They are a celebration of craftsmanship and personal style, ready to help you create beautiful, lasting memories.
