Lace has been a huge trend over the past few years, and for summer 2013 lace dresses have exploded with popularity. These sweet yet seductive styles are being shown mainly in A-line and sheath style dresses which hit at the knee or just above the knee.

The lace dress is turning out to be “the little black dress” of the season. Lace dresses are perfect for cocktail parties, dinner parties, going to the theater and other evening activities. In addition to being an evening staple this season, the lace dress is also perfect for wearing to a luncheon or afternoon wedding!

When it comes to colors, darker hues work perfectly at night while soft beige and white shades look crisp and refreshing during the day. Although, a white lace dress at night can be the ultimate statement for the summer 2013 season! 

Lace dresses are being shown in all of the colors of the season ranging from sweet pastel hues to neon shades. Neutral colors including beige, white, black and coffee are also staples for the summer season. If you live in a warm climate, a lace dress in coffee or black can easily take you through the fall season; all you need to do is switch up your accessories! Love that!

On the runways, designers created color blocked lace dress and also used lace as an overlay with other fabrications. They also used lace as an accent fabric on dresses. Although solid colored lace dress are what has been spotted the most on the street, the runway trends are still available as an alternative to a solid lace dress. That being said, if a full lace dress is a little too much for you, look for lace trim or a lace overlay if you still want to rock this trend for summer 2013.
