Crochet tops
Crochet tops: everyday elegance and comfort
My crochet tops are the ultimate versatile pieces for a modern bohemian wardrobe. Longer than crop tops, they offer more coverage while retaining the lightness and unique handcrafted feel of handmade crochet. Perfect for everyday wear as well as dressier occasions.
The difference between tops and crop tops
Unlike crop tops that stop above the waist, my crochet tops fall to the waist or slightly below. This length makes them more versatile and suitable for different situations:
- More coverage for those who prefer a less short style
- Perfect for the office or semi-formal occasions
- They can be worn tucked in or out depending on the desired effect
- Suitable for all body types and all ages
Careful craftsmanship
Creating a crocheted top requires between 30 and 60 hours of work, depending on the length, the complexity of the patterns, and the level of detail. More voluminous than crop tops but less so than sweaters, they represent an excellent balance between creation time and versatility.
I select light to medium-weight yarns depending on the season: cotton and linen for summer, warmer blends for the mid-seasons. The construction must be precise so that the top hangs well, with comfortable armholes, a neat neckline, and an even hem.
Styles for every occasion
Strappy tops: Light and feminine, perfect for summer with jeans or a skirt
Short-sleeved tops: Versatile and easy to wear, ideal for everyday wear
Long-sleeved, openwork tops: Elegant and comfortable for between seasons
Wrap tops: Flattering and adjustable, they enhance all body shapes.
Tunic tops: Longer in length, they are worn over leggings or slim-fit trousers
Structured tops: With a collar or sophisticated details for a dressier look
How to wear your crochet tops
Casual look: Top tucked into jeans with a belt, flat sandals and a crossbody bag
Bohemian office style: Sleeveless top with flowing trousers, light blazer and pumps
Casual-chic look: Top worn over a midi skirt, heeled sandals and gold jewelry
Summer evening outfit: Sophisticated top tucked into palazzo pants, heels and clutch
Weekend look: Top with linen shorts, espadrilles and straw hat
Layered style: A cut-out top over a plain tank top to play with transparency.
Seasonal versatility
Crochet tops are trans-seasonal pieces:
Spring/Summer: Worn alone with jeans, a skirt or shorts
Autumn: Layered over a long-sleeved t-shirt or under a cardigan
Winter: Under a blazer or cardigan to add texture and character
This versatility makes crochet tops an excellent investment: a single piece can be worn all year round in different ways.
Unique and accessible creations
Each crocheted top is unique thanks to the natural variations inherent in handwork. The patterns, the colors, the finishes... everything contributes to making your top a piece you won't find anywhere else.
Tops also represent an excellent entry point into my collection: less bulky than dresses or coats, they offer the same handcrafted quality at a more accessible price.
Easy maintenance
Crochet tops are easy to care for: hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, dry flat, and store folded. With these simple steps, your tops will last through the seasons, retaining their beauty.
The essentials of a bohemian wardrobe
Investing in a few quality crochet tops ensures you always have stylish and comfortable options for creating your outfits. Their versatility makes them indispensable: from casual to semi-formal, from summer to winter layered, they adapt to all your needs.
Wearing a handmade crochet top is a way to express an elegant and personal bohemian style, to value craftsmanship, and to invest in unique pieces that bring character to your everyday wardrobe.
