STYLE GURU STYLE: Lace It Up

May 4th, 2016 at 2:00am

Certain individuals consider lace to be old-fashioned, boring and a thing of the past. However, in the upcoming fashion season, lace is being reinvented. Fashion designers are adding touches of lace here and there into their pieces, which adds a touch a femininity into their collection. In Elie Saab’s fall/winter 2016 ready-to-wear collection, lace is a statement and it is done in a variety of colors (not just your basic white).

When I first stumbled upon this collection, I was surprised to see how this designer incorporated lace into their pieces. Some of the pieces in this collection were way too over the top to be worn everyday. Therefore, I wanted to see how I was able to include lace into an outfit that could be worn on campus on a daily basis.

I recreated this show by wearing a cropped top with black lace detailing from TopShop along with a pair of black skinny jeans that were ripped at the knee. To add to this look, I wore a navy blue bomber jacket with silver zipper detailing. Not only does this jacket look cute, but it keeps me warm from the crisp spring weather. To finish this look off, I threw on a pair of running shoes and a baseball cap. And there you go, a look that can be easily recreated and totally be rocked on campus.

Lace is no longer a thing of the past and it is not only for special occasions. Fashionistas/os across the globe can add a hint of lace to their everyday look. They can also play with the colors of the lace as well. Therefore, the ball is now in your court, show how you can lace it up.

Get My Look: 1. A crop top. 2. Black jeans. 3. Running shoes. 4. A bomber jacket.
