Spring 2011 Trend: Lace
Lace may typically seem like a fabric best worn in the autumn, but this season it’s a hot trend for Spring 2011. The key looks are romantic and sexy without being too revealing. A sheer, lace dress alone looks great on the runway but for real life you need to pair it with a slip. A delicate ivory blouse paired with denim is a great way to add a bit of refined sexiness to a casual jean. A lace skirt paired with a structured top projects a vintage look that’s been modernised.
