STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Lay On The Lace

June 19th, 2015 at 2:00am

Of all the fabrics and patterns in the vast world of fashion, lace is arguably one of the most well known. It’s been used on every article of clothing you can think of, from being an essential decorative accent in the late 1800s to composing entire gowns at modern award ceremonies. So, it’s no surprise that this Fashionista has managed to create an outfit completely made of lace. Her ability to do it well, however, is a bit of a feat.

Just like with the monochrome trend, putting together a look centered around one ubiquitous material such as lace can be difficult. One thing to keep in mind is the look’s color scheme. Try to use a neutral color as the main color of the look to keep from confusing or distracting the eye. This Fashionista focused on white, with pops of color in the floral on her top and complimentary tan boots. Using white, a neutral color, as the main color in this outfit makes the look cohesive and chic.

This Fashionista’s focus on her accessories also serves to heighten the quality of the look. Attention to detail is essential when creating any outfit, especially one with such inherent intricacies as an outfit of lace clothing. Follow this Fashionista’s lead and stick to a cohesive color scheme. Her white headband and tan glasses not only match the rest of her outfit, but add to its dimensions without distracting from the look as a whole.
