Butterfly Cardigan Outfit Ideas: How to Wear a Crochet Cardigan
Updated 12 October 2026
A butterfly crochet cardigan is a fun statement piece. Here's how to wear it so it feels effortless rather than costume-y.
With jeans and a plain top
Let the cardigan be the hero: a white or black fitted top with straight or wide-leg jeans is the easiest outfit there is.
Over a slip or midi dress
Layer it over a simple dress for a softer look. Add tights and boots once the weather turns.
Pick one colour from the pattern
Choose your trousers, bag or shoes in one colour from the butterflies. It ties the outfit together instantly.
Layering for colder days
Wear a thin long-sleeve top underneath and a long coat on top; the open front shows off the knit.
Care
Crochet knits are delicate — follow the care label, wash gently and dry flat to keep their shape.
