Trend Spotting: How to Wear Lace for Dummies

Written by Elizabeth Mitchell

Stay trendy this fall with a touch of #lace.

Lace is everywhere for fall and no, we don’t just mean your Hankie Pankies. This season it’s all about boudoir dressing and making lingerie work for day. So while we may be passing on the PJ trend and would prefer to keep our top on (hey, personal decision), we do think a little bit of lace is the perfect touch for autumn.

Check out these 3 very different lacy looks and how to rock ‘em this fall:

Brights are still what’s up for fall, so why not get twice as trendy? This cute little collared cobalt blue dress is as sweet as it is nasty. With only a hint of lace detailing at the front and back, you can either toughen it up in combat boots (black leather preferably) or keep it sweet and simple in heels. Add a jacket or cardi to keep warm.

If dresses aren’t your thing, wrap up this fall in a cozy wool lace sweater we’re sure the Olsen’s would appreciate. To top off your boho meets modern chic style, simply throw on a pair of pumps and a draped midi skirt and you’re ready to go.

The perfect combo of feminine and flirty, this neon high-wasted little lace number is ideal for work or brunch with the rents. Pair it with a classic white tee and some chunky high heels to complete the look and you’re all set.
