Lace is a must have style in the new season, able to add a fantastic feminine touch yet sophisticated elegant look to any outfit.
Whether you want to dress up in a light lace day dress or dress down with lovely lace details on shrugs, tops and tunics, when it comes to this look, lace is more.
If dressing up for an evening out, treat yourself to the luxury of an elegant lace detail dress or if you just want to look simply stylish choose a long tunic top with a delicate lace trim.
However you wear it, don’t miss out on the season’s key fashion trend.

Weddings are a great excuse to splash out on a new outfit – something eye-catching and beautiful – but it’s important not to dress so well that you’ll outshine the bride!
When picking out occasion dresses for events like weddings, there are some simple “dos” and “don’ts” that will ensure you make a statement without overdoing it.
Of course, summer weddings will probably involve a lot of out-door time, so it’s important to choose something you can look brilliant in, whilst keeping cool.
It’s also worth not going for anything too formal – depending on the invite – and perhaps choosing something you can layer so you can take off, or put on, a top if the temperature changes.
Floral colours are massively trendy this year, and it’s important to avoid wearing all white, or black, for a wedding. Going for something with floral print, or in flowery colours, is always a safe bet.
Don’t pluck out a long gown unless the wedding is likely to run into the evening, and make sure you pick out a hat that will allow you to see the bride, whilst stopping the sun getting in your eyes.
Obviously, white is a no-no: it’s a colour reserved exclusively for the bride on her big day. Heavy make-up, fancy tights or hosiery and exposing too much flesh should be avoided too.

Wide-leg trousers have sauntered in and out of fashion over the last few years.
Their previous incarnation focussed around combat pants but with the 70s style revival this summer, tailored, wide trousers are proving to be a popular look for women’s clothing – whether you’re aiming for a floaty office look or looking for something relaxed for a holiday.
Wide-leg trousers look great with a masculine look – pair with a jacket for a striking silhouette.
For holidays, patterned or coloured palazzo pants can be a great addition – with soft, floating fabric and plenty of airspace to keep you cool abroad.
Wide-fitting jeans are perhaps one to avoid – these often end up looking baggy and slouchy without any hint of style.
But you can try mixing wide-leg trousers with an array of clothes for every effect from evening wear to casual.
Donning a pair of heels will give your legs and bottom a great shape in wide-leg trousers, accentuating your waist and hips. Flats are great for a more masculine look – add wide-leg trousers to a fitted trouser suit to look strong and stylish.
A flowing shirt or blouse can look stunning with wide trousers – but get a great belt to pinch any billowing material in to your waist.
To really get the 70s look, dust off some platforms or big wedges, and go for colourful accessories to look playful, fun and flirty.
