One of the best things about a crochet vest top is how easy it is to style. Try it:

• Over a fitted tank for a simple everyday look
• With high-waisted shorts or jeans for a cute warm-weather outfit
• Layered over a dress to add texture and shape

If you’re planning to wear it often, focus on the finishing details. Even, consistent stitches and a smooth tie-front edge help the top lay flatter and look more professional.
