NEEDLEWORK

Just because it’s crafty doesn’t mean it can’t be anything else. After two years of being at the foreground of everyday fashion, cottagecore is showing off its versatile side. Open-weave patterns lend a peekaboo effect to crochet matching sets for a full-body statement; panelled patchwork tank tops add a big hit of fun to a crisp white shirt; while sweet pastel cardis balance the edgy street vibes of an open-mesh-bra-and-cargos combo. Plus, they’re great for an instant hit of colour and texture. The only question you need to ask is: What’s your stitch sitch?
