Get the grace of lace
Lace is being touted as the ‘stealth’ trend of the summer – and it’s sudden soar in popularity has taken a few fashionistas by surprise.
Perhaps buoyed by ‘that’ dress at the Royal Wedding, lace has become the must-have ladies’ fashion for summer – whether it’s worn by pop stars at festivals, or high-society ladies moving in political circles.
Going all-out with lace is probably not advisable – unless you’re feeling particularly daring. But little lace touches add delicacy and class to an outfit, and you’ll be bang on trend.
White is the predominant colour of this summer – but red and blue lace works just as well. A simple touch of lace in an evening dress or top will really liven up your look – adding interesting texture and intricate detail. It can even work with colour-blocking – another summer trend – and works for casual and formal wear.
Remember that you don’t need to plump for a wedding dress-style lace look, it’s not about showing off. It’s about adding a feminine, soft touch – so don’t be scared to look for something that suits your style, and either customise it, or look for a garment that already has a touch of lace.
