If you’re still unsure how to style a handwoven garment, here are a few things to remember:
start with colours you already wear. Black, denim and your favourite neutrals are all excellent starting points.
keep familiar shapes in your outfit. Love jeans and a tee? Wear jeans and introduce a handwoven top.
let texture do the work. Handwoven fabric already brings visual interest, so you don’t need a lot of accessories.
don’t save it for best. Wear your handwoven pieces everyday with the clothes you already love to wear. They’re made to be worn, not left hanging in the wardrobe.
choose something that feels like you. You don’t have to follow a particular aesthetic, such as boho, just because a garment is handmade.
For me handweaving is about exploring colour, texture, yarn and the possibilities of creating cloth by hand. Every piece evolves in its own way, and no two are quite the same.
When I turn that cloth into a garment, I want it to become something you can wear and enjoy as part of your everyday life.
You might wear it with black from head to toe. You might throw it on with your favourite jeans. Or you might choose a pop of red that makes you smile every time you put it on.
There’s no right or wrong way to wear handwoven clothing.
You don’t need a new style. You don’t need a new wardrobe. And you definitely don’t need to go full boho.
Just find a piece you love, wear it your way, and let the fabric tell its own story.
