Taking on Texture
Layering linen and fibers for fall
After a summer filled with eye-searing colors, wild patterns, and overly-fruity beverages, it’s time to get grounded. Natural textures like linen and crochet started to pop up in spring collections and continue to top the list for fall, promising to make the transition of seasons a breeze.
Both fabrics put an emphasis on handcraft over fast fashion, with crochet being a fav among DIYers.
(Pro-tip: Check your local Etsy sellers for one-of-a-kind crochet takes.)
You can stick with the classic neutrals in relaxed fits or get super on-trend with sleeker silhouettes, retro colors, and unexpected stitch patterns – guaranteed to take your cottagecore to haute couture in no time.
