Lace Lovely or Ugly?

 

You don’t have to be a girly girl to pull off the lace trend that was big this summer and even bigger this fall.  It can look incredibly chic and fashion forward if done right.  But wearing too much lace can end up looking old fashioned or matronly.  If the lace ensemble you choose is too sheer or even cheap looking will unfortunately make for a trashy look.  One lace look I really like is lace shorts paired with tights and a blousy sweater.  A lace cocktail dress in a bright color is a great look for fall.  Just keep the accessories simple or it will be overkill.  Lace accessories like a shoe, clutch, or tights is a way to give this trend a try if you’re unsure of it.  They’re also a great way to add a touch of trendiness to a simple dress or jeans and blouse.  If you’re going to wear lace blouse or any lace apparel for that matter, make sure it is properly lined.  If it is not add a tank top or have it lined.  There is no need for anyone to see your undergarments.  As far as the lace accessories go I suggest staying away from the lace fingerless glove, unless you’re dressing up as Madonna for Halloween.  I think this is a fabulous trend for the holidays!
