Rarely does a season pass without the catwalk providing us with at least a spattering of lace. We can always count on designer favourites such as Simone Rocha, Dolce & Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti to show us how to wear lace, when. While it'll never go out of fashion, lace can look dated, and must be constantly reinvented. Here we've compiled a list of 20 bits and pieces that'll modernise your lacy look.
Try toughening up your ladylike lace. Pair Pinko's jade full skirt with a beaten up biker jacket, or simply throw on the leather and lace cami by The Kooples with a pair of black high waisted jeans and trainers to complete the look. For the uber girly girl, Topshop's Bardot dress is an absolute must-have - as are the gorgeous gold lace-inspired earrings by Aurelie Bidermann. For those after wardrobe staples that'll last, find comfort in French Connection's beautiful black jumpsuit with lace panels, or Gerard Darel's black sleeveless top, the latter of which will be a dream under a blazer for evenings.
This magic material immediately injects a hint of glamour to any look. Click through to shop our top twenty ways to incorporate lace into your look.
