:The Lace Accent
Imaxtree
Formerly seen outside the bedroom only under cover of darkness, lace has now come into the light, but in a totally different guise. Instead of veiling bare skin, day wear treats it as an accent fabric that spotlights its intricacy rather than its intimacy. The result is unexpected—surprisingly not sexy, but it sure is pretty.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Stick to lingerie colors—black and nude—which add cheekiness to lace’s newly reworked propriety. (Colors can take it from chic to cheap.) Make an inspired odd couple by pairing it with flannel, bordering a Donegal tweed, or under a sporty coat. A lace shoe is too much for day, but a bag is fine—just choose a shoulder strap, not a clutch.
