Crochet is a key fashion trend this season, and Anne Hathaway has just shown us one of the easiest and chicest ways to wear it. Spotted in New York, she wore a beautiful white crochet cardigan, proving that this textural fabric works for elegant everyday dressing.

Rather than styling this summery fabric with denim or over the best swimsuits, she wears the cardigan with floaty white trousers, creating a smart-casual outfit. This combination feels effortlessly polished, as the white cardigan adds a touch of laid-back charm.

Anne's exact outfit features the Chloé pointelle scalloped cotton cardigan, styled with breezy wide-leg trousers and Vivaia kitten heels for a comfortable finish. Anne adds an eye-catching green shoulder bag from Valentino Garavani, and the extra colour really helps the outfit pop.

Crochet Cardigan

From layering over vibrant dresses to pairing with denim as part of an autumn outfit idea, this cardigan is a versatile investment. The delicate crochet design feels so feminine.

Crochet or textured layers are also useful pieces when you want to feel put-together but aren't quite ready to embrace your favourite knits yet, and they layer beautifully over dresses and T-shirts.

There's plenty to take away from Anne's outfit if you're looking for an easy formula to see you through the final weeks of summer and into warm autumn days. A textured crochet cardigan adds interest to simple outfits, whilst her addition of a colourful shoulder bag adds even more personality to this all-white attire.
