What’s the best way to face the cold temps and freezing weather in a city like Boston? Bundle up! You want to make sure you are warm but you also want to make sure you are stepping out in two feet of snow in style. A great way to achieve both the warmth and the style is by wearing crochet knit hats and other accessories.

Crochet is a perfect material because it gives you to the opportunity to show a lot of personality because it is so versatile. It is creative way to show off your personal flair. If you thought crochet was limited to hats and gloves…think again! Today, you can wear it as jewelry and clothing, too. Let’s look at some stylish examples of the hip ways of wearing crochet for Boston’s wintery days ahead.

Headwear

This is a traditional way to incorporate crochet into your winter look. It is great material because there is some give to it so it will not be tight on your head. Also, the different designs of these types of beanies are limitless. From colors to style, you will be winning.

Clothing

A crochet dress is stylish and classy and the way that designers are making them today, they are also very chic. These are great because you can wear them with some leggings and boots to create a look that easily goes from work to play.

Jewelry

This is a great new way to have some fun with crochet in your personal style. Earrings, like these, are flirty, unique and give you an edgy feel to your look. Some might say that wearing crochet in this manner is a fashion risk and they’d be right. But fashion is just as much about taking risks as it is about being yourself.


Scarves

This is a fan favorite and for good reason. Crochet scarves are so cozy and inviting. They can make any outfit complete and are one of the best ways to keep your neck and ears toasty when you walk outside.

Remember, personal style does not have to go out the window just because the weather is a little chilly (well in Boston’s case, it’s downright fidget). Nonetheless, you should always look for ways to take your personal style to the next level and crochet knit clothes and accessories is an ideal route to go.
