Smart Trends for Fall: Lace

Lace is a key trend this coming fall season and I'm personally loving this trend. Often seen on evening wear, lingerie and bridal gowns, this fall lace is front and center. Top designer brands like Prada, Robert Rodriguez and Nanette Lapore transformed the delicate fabric into chic, elegant and classy fashion. Prada really utilized lace for fall. With Ad campaigns featuring supermodel Linda Evnagelista wearing to die for lace jackets, skirts and handbags adorned with lace Prada Pizzo S Women's Bowler Bag $1,995.00 Neiman Marcus

One 'smart' advice though, it's not necessary to wear lace from head to toe. Lace does have a somewhat formal feel to it so dress it down by wearing separates. Like this Nanette Lapore top, classy and elegant that can be worn under a jacket, perfect for work. For a more casual chic look, try this geometric top by Robert Rodriguez paired with your favorite jeans. And if you're attending a fabulous soiree, be daring with bright colors like this sophisticated Clover lace pencil dress by Milly.And of course, don't forget the shoes! Be careful not to look like you're wearing bridal shoes. Shop for shoes because the design is chic and trendy and not because they are made with lace. If lace is not your cup of tea but you still want to incorporate lace with your look, opt for subtle accessories like this belt by Alessandro Dell'Acqua that can we worn practically with any look. Happy Fall Everyone!
