Lace Skirt
Lace is not just the material used on bridal couture. It is not just seen on lingerie. It is also not just the centerpiece used for your grandma’s
side table. Lace can be attractive, fun, and flirty! For those who say that lace is the thing of the past, think again. Lace is coming back to haunt you. A lace skirt does not always have to be associated with the words frumpy, girly, and conservative. A lace skirt can be worn in different ways by different women. From work to date night with your man, to a night out with your girlfriends or to a casual Saturday afternoon at the park, there is surely one for every occasion.
Bring attractiveness to the office with a black lace skirt! A pencil skirt with black lace 2-3 inches above the knee over a nylon lining that’s about 4-5 inches above the knee will add a hint of sensuality to your corporate attire without looking sleazily. The pattern of the lace skirt should not be too overpowering but it should be rather elegant and understated. Take the elegance a step further by pairing it with a cream tank top with 2-3 gold and white buttons in the middle as accents. If the office dress code is on the conservative side, pair it with either a black, white, or pink cardigan.
Boyfriends always want to see their girls in attractive outfits but they wouldn’t want to be seen with a trashy partner. Play up a plain, black top with a ruffled, forest green lace skirt. The cheerleader cut of the skirt is given a twist with the help of the green layered ruffles. The top should be tucked inside the waist-band of the skirt to accentuate the waistline. This outfit can be paired with a pearl necklace and neutral-colored ballet flats. You can even replace the flats with wedges or heels for swankier dates.
By now, you must think that there always has to be black whenever lace is concerned. Of course not! Neutral colors always look best on the naturally dainty and delicate lace but you can always add some punch to your lace skirt by injecting some bright colors. Start off with a navy or electric blue skirt, preferably with a bottom-hugging one complete with a ruche lace paneling. Consider wearing a sleeveless, cowl neck jersey top in grey. The more daring ones can pick a grey tee that’s embellished with small to medium silver sequins. Complete the outfit with wine or burgundy pumps with 3-4 inch heels and an elegant clutch bag. Put your hair up and keep makeup clean and simple, except for that bright red lipstick. Marilyn Monroe, is that you?
A lazy Saturday afternoon is not a good excuse to be terribly dressed. Visit the park in an a-line, gray lace skirt and a basic white or pink shirt. Pair it with loafers, ballet flats, or even sneakers to get that streamlined design. Keep accessories neutral to focus attention on the skirt. Yes, lazy Saturday afternoons can still be fashionable.
The worst mistake in fashion is to close your mind to old trends because they’re resurrected every now and then. So never throw away an old lace skirt and have fun with it!
Wearing the White Lace Skirt
Gone are the days when a white lace skirt is worn in weddings and traditional parties. Nowadays, it is one of the must-have items in every
girl’s closet. The lace skirt bids goodbye to the Victorian age and its association with overly conservative females at the time. It now says hello to the carefree modern age.
It is actually quite easy to look extra stylish in wearing white lace. The material itself screams class and style. When paired with the right top, shoes, and accessories, you can have a great look. Though looking chic and fashionable in a white lace skirt is easy with the right match, it can also be a bit tricky and challenging to pair it with other pieces of garments.
If it is matched with the wrong items, you can easily break the entire look. The white lace can make you look old, gothic, or worse, like you are simply wearing a curtain around your waist. As much as it can be a great fashion look and style, it can also be a fashion booboo.
In wearing a white lace skirt, simplicity is the key. It is because the skirt and material is elaborate enough. It is best paired with bold and plain tops. Any color would match it because it is white. Match the color of your top with the accessories and shoes you are going to wear. Also take note of the lace pattern. If it is too revealing, wear something underneath to avoid looking trashy and unsophisticated. Revealing too much skin will make the lace skirt lose its appeal. You can try to layer the skirt with other colors but make sure that the colors you choose will complement each other. You can also tone down a boyish look with this skirt and a blazer. It is also great to invest in high quality lace. Check the pattern and the cut of the lace. You have to be careful in choosing this because a loose thread may lead to a bigger fashion booboo.
A white lace skirt is a great investment and must-have piece of clothing. It can be worn to dress up or dress down a look. When it comes to wearing a white lace skirt, you have to remember and follow the principle that less is more. Tone down on everything else and let the skirt talk for itself. Simplicity is the best way to go in wearing a lace skirt in order to look classy, chic, and sophisticated.
