The latest in fashion trends is the feminine touch of lace. Whether it's an accent on a basic piece, tank top, dress or skirt; lace has become a serious addition to spring trends this year. Since lace is such an elegant fabric, it comes off as very soft and feminine. Mix this with a hard piece such as a destroyed jean jacket or a leather jacket for a very trendy look.
When wearing lace, stick to nudes or basic black and white. This is recommended because other colors such as red and blue can be very harsh, so it's best to stick to nudes and soft shades.
Lace looks great when pairing with a blazer, jean or leather jacket and a great pair of shoes. For a night time look, add a major piece of jewelry such as a vintage ring and strappy or close toed heels. Be careful when accessorizing however, as lace is detailed enough.
Where does lace come from exactly? It is an openwork fabric, with holes in the piece which is either made by hand or machine. It's an ancient craft, originally used with linen, silk, gold or silver threads but is more commonly made with cotton. Traditionally, lace was used to make tablecloths and doilies but nowadays it's used in clothing.
Lace is the lightest way to glam up your outfit and can go from elegant to sexy for night and day. Give it a try in your wardrobe this spring and summer!
