The crochet  trend is not about having a crafty homemade feel, it is about intricacy and quality. It is part of a whole slew of seventies trends that are coming back into style.  For springtime I really like boxy crochet shirts paired with high-waisted bell-bottoms as well as loosely-fitted crochet shirts and sweaters with fringe hanging down. I prefer crochet pieces in earthy tones because bright colors would distract too much from the beautiful intricacy of the patterns. So, to incorporate the bright palette of this spring, pair crochet pieces with earthy jewelry with brilliantly colored stones like turquoise, amethyst, or ruby zoisite. Avoid pairing crochet pieces with other intricate pieces (lace, chiffon, anything with ruffles, etc.), instead, choose pieces made of leather, denim, suede, cotton, or other gender neutral to masculine pieces.
