World famous romantic heroines and royalty have donned elegant and intricate lace for centuries. The gorgeous, delicate fabric adds a vintage and Victorian feel to any outfit it is paired with. This season, Vogue Paris deemed romantic lace as one of their top twenty summer trends. From the runways of Valentino to Louis Vuitton, delicate ethereal lace has found it’s way into every girls closet this month, including my own and this Fashionistas. It is classic and chic, as well as versatile and vivacious. The ways to wear this soft fabric are endless, and it will never go out of style.
While this lacy trend has hit the high end runways, it has also made its way to stores within an everyday girl’s price range; envision a mixture of Marie Antoinette’s wardrobe and the racks of H&M combined. This Fashionista snagged her cropped lace top this season while out searching for this hot, Vogue approved trend. Her gorgeous lace top paired perfectly with these pink high-waisted shorts, resembling hot pants from the ‘70s. Combining different styles from various decades is a fun way of playing with textures, fits and colors. It is amazing to see pieces from years apart come together to create a look the flows and molds together so nicely. This combination of chic and sassy is the perfect balance of antique French royalty and a retro ‘70s summer in the sun.
This Fashionista loves all things simple, vintage and soft so this outfit radiated her style and personality. Paired with simple white sandals, a small gold necklace and a coral statement bracelet, this outfit is well balanced, unique and totally trendy. She looks as feminine and fun as possible in this summer trend.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Always find a way to mix the old with the new; never wear a vintage lace top with a vintage lace skirt. It will wind up looking a bit old and a little frumpy. Spice it up!”
