3 Unexpected Ways To Wear Lace

by Jennifer Ash

Sophisticated, sexy and eternally chic, lace has long been one of our go-to trends for festive fêtes and evenings out. While the trend is both timeless and accessible—no matter what your budget—even the most style-savvy fashion girl may find it difficult to incorporate the sexy fabric into her wardrobe successfully. This winter, work an unexpected lace piece into your look for a sultry, cool result. Here, a few of our favorite pieces of the season and how to rock them with confidence.

Dress down lace via these d'Orsay flats teamed with a chunky sweater, slim-fitting boyfriend jeans and a vampy red pout.

For a fresh alternative to a dress, reach for a matching crop top and skirt combo. Be sure not to overload on accessories: Nude mules and a taupe manicure add a feminine touch without competing with the lace.

Feeling daring? For festive fêtes and holiday get-togethers, a lace jumpsuit is an edgy statement worth making. For an elegant outcome, finish off the look with a cropped faux-fur jacket and a chain-strap evening bag.
