From demure
to sexy, the latest captivating fashion trend is lace. The once-sultry fabric has
taken on a whole new feel — from shoes to shirts to dresses. Lace has hit the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Jason Wu, and more, as designers fall for its sheer elegance.
One delicate and romantic take on the style is a short, sweet, and simple cocktail dress. To sport a more dramatic ensemble, select a full skirt or floor-length lace dress. A covered-up neckline and a nude or black slip layered underneath maintains flirty yet sophisticated elements, without revealing too much.

The
key to pulling off this peek-a-boo style
is to adorn yourself with just a touch of lace. A lacy pair of tights adds instant éclat to an LBD or a
lace clutch with jeans, while a pair of lace pumps adds polish to any modest outfit, like a white T-shirt and loose-fitting boyfriend jeans.
Mixing the super-feminine fabric with
menswear is the perfect transition from summer to fall. A lace skirt with a
tailored blazer, or a lacy cami over a knit sweater, are flirty takes
on this bold pattern.
