Crochet Chic

The Style File by Leah Wong

A far cry from your grandma’s doily, crochet has been given a modern makeover this spring. As crochet is associated with the past, it provides a vintage vibe to any outfit. Though designers made entire dresses out of crochet, there are many pieces using this intricate technique as an accent. Crocheted accessories - especially scarves - are another easy way to incorporate this look into your everyday life.

Bows have maintained popularity as an accessory for several seasons. Designers continued to incorporate this accent into their spring 2010 collections. They add a romantic, feminine touch to any outfit - whether it’s a free flowing dress of a sartorial suit. While bows gained popularity on headbands on Gossip Girl, the over sized bows appearing everywhere and anywhere this year won’t have you confused for Blair Waldorf.
