Spring Trends: Lace

Angela Stone • Oct 02, 2014

Showing up on runways and streets around the globe, Lace is staging a comeback. This gorgeous fabric is the epitome of femininity, which makes it a popular material when dressing for Spring and Summer. Hopefully these tips will make you feel more confident about wearing the fabric.

Here is how you can rock lace garments this season!

Day Time Lace

The key to wearing lace during the day is to keep things simple and elegant. A lace pencil skirt or top worn under a blazer will instantly improve your outfit.When choosing what dresses to wear, look at the quality of the fabric. Lower quality lace is better for casual and day-to-day looks. Select a midi lace dress in neutral colours and pair with leather accessories for a fun, sophisticated and casual appearance.

An Evening Statement

The evening is the perfect time to rock a lace garment. This fabric embodies glamour and romance like no other, a black garment is a great choice if you are wanting to create a dramatic ensemble.

High quality lace is more suited to evening wear and other special occasions. Gowns and long dresses can be quite elegant and are easy to accessorise. A bold red lip and a casual hairstyle will be the only accessories you will need!

A metallic lace dress is also perfect for events. For a fun evening look, team a metallic dress with some bold accessories.

A Touch of Colour

Beautiful jewel tones, ranging from fuchsia, to emerald green and cerulean blue will instantly elevate your look.

Stray from black and white dresses and head for bolder tones. Coloured lace makes quite the statement, so pair each outfit with neutral accessories. A great alternative to the little black dress is a red lace dress, wear this timeless piece to your next party! Subtle shades of lilac, yellow and powder blue all compliment this season’s take on lace.

Sheer

Sheer materials scream modern romance. A sheer dress is an easy way to make lace the focal point of your outfit. This trend will encourage you to show a bit more skin, whilst still keeping your look fresh and stylish. Balance the revealing nature of sheer lace by choosing longer hems and slips to put on underneath. If lace is too dramatic for your taste, mix your outfits up with contrasting textures. Add a leather jacket or faux fur for an electric inspired look.

All White

Ethereal white lace allows you to integrate a number of new garments into your wardrobe. From elegant ensembles to pretty tops and dainty dresses, your options are endless. If you are worried about white lace looking a bit too bridal, partner your clothes with colourful accessories or bright trims. Structured lace will help define your silhouette, select shift dresses and full-skirted designs as they are easier to style.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with lace. Whether this gorgeous material is a wardrobe staple or for special occasions only, it is an elegant and on-trend choice of fabric. Do you have any tips for styling lace dresses?

May Newsletter 2023 Hi friends! Is your winter wardrobe in check? One thing people often forget to pay attention to is accessories, but this is such a fun way of dressing for the colder weather. These are the Winter Accessory Trends you should be aware of: Big scarves are in – and I mean big! Wrap it around your neck a bunch of times, or wear it like a shawl for a chic look. You’ll be cosier than ever! If you already have an oversized handbag, you’re in luck – this trend will be everywhere this winter. I love a coloured bag for a statement, and since red is hot right now, a large red bag is going to look extra chic. Own a pair of heeled boots? Time to bring those babies out. This season a stiletto heel is favoured over a chunky heel, but both are strong options and will keep your feet cozy. Love fashion and want to learn more? Join me on my next Fashion Stylist Course .
