While seasons and trends are ever changing, lace doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. From necklaces to shoes, clutches to dresses, lace accents are still very much en vogue.
It’s as hot on the runway and red carpet as it is at casual hangouts. Celebrities opt to wear both long and short lace numbers to movie premieres. Gradually, the trend has crept into accessories, taking it from overwhelming to versatile.
Lace is a trend that can be just as easily dressed up, as down. For a more casual look, you can pair a lace cover up with jeans and a plain top to look both relaxed and classy. To bring the oomph factor into an outfit, try coupling it with a pair of sexy lace heels, or a lace clutch to finish off your look.
Initially, lace was thought to look good only in black and white. Now, lace has combined with both colour blocking and pastel trends to produce a number of vibrant, individual pieces that can be worn both day and night.
Whether as detailing in a kameez, a slight touch in a pair of heels, or a full out dress, lace is here to stay.
