The flirty and feminine fabrication has been showing up this season on everything imaginable from garments to shoes to handbags and even on jewelry!

The lace trend was spotted on almost every runway for the fall/winter 2012/2013 season and it was also spotted on the spring/summer 2013 runways. This is one trend which has made an easy transition from the runway to the street. In fact, lace has proven to be more popular on the street than it appeared on the runway!

Lace is being used both as the main fabric of a garment as well as an accent or detail on both garments and accessories. Lace dresses have proven to be the hottest garment style in lace while lace shoes are the hottest form of accessory to don the flirty fabrication.

Designers are showing lace in shades of black, red, peach, pale pink, gold, silver and cream for the winter 2013 season and many designer have chosen to place a tonal or contrasting fabric underneath as a liner; after all, lace can be quite see-through! Oh my!

If a lace dress is too racy for you to wear, but you love the trend and want to rock it this season, look for lace shoes or a lace trimmed jacket; or even a bracelet! This is an understated way to wear lace and add a little bit of flirty spice to your ensemble. Love that!

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged lace / resort 2012 / spring 2012 by

Lace has been a huge trend from the runways since spring 2011. Lace embellishment, overlays and edgings have been popping up throughout the year on apparel, shoes, handbags and even jewelry. As lace is found throughout stores for the fall season, it is also popping up in resort collections for 2012. Not only has lace been found in cruise resort 2012 collections, the garments have already appeared on the red carpet by the likes of Anne Hathaway!

Since resort/cruise collections are usually a snapshot into spring, it is safe to say lace will continue well into 2012. In fact, lace has already been spotted in the spring 2012 collections which have graced the runways in Berlin and Sydney. This means one of the best investment purchases a Fashion-savvy shopper can make right now is to buy lace. Anything lace!

There are many ways to wear the lace trend right now and into the upcoming seasons. If you love lace go for a lace overlay gown or dress such as the one Anne Hathaway is wearing from the resort 2012 Alexander McQueen collection in the photo below. Another way to wear lace is to use it as an accent. Why not pair lace high heels with a solid black dress?

Jewelers have also latched onto the lace trend with either fabric incorporated into the overall design of a piece or metal forced into the shape or pattern of lace. The one thing to remember when purchasing a lace item for the lace trend is to look for an item you can wear in any weather with the addition of a jacket or scarf for cooler weather. Or make it easy and choose an accessory! Happy shopping and stay fabulous

The Lace Trend Continues into Fall with a Vengeance

 in General Fashion / Trends  tagged fall 2011 / lace / runway trends / vintage styles by

Lace was one of the dominant embellishments or fabrics on the runways for spring 2011 and the trend continued on the fall 2011 runways in Paris, New York, Milan and London. Lace popped up as both the main fabric on a garment as well as edging, detailing and overlays. There were also lace inspired leathers, metals and prints on everything from handbags to jewelry to the garments themselves.

Lace is an intricate fabric that is being shown for all types of looks this fall. Casual attire is showing lace fabric as well as lace details while more formal wear is featuring fine lace overlays and embellishments. Lace is adding texture, femininity and sex appeal to fall fashion, making it one of the must-have trends for fall. Love it!

One reason lace is continuing in popularity for the fall season is that is can easily fit into the varying style trends that appeared on the runways including the vintage trend, ladylike trend and continuing boho-chic trend.

We have a few fabulous tips from Tucker by Gaby Basora to help you style your lace pieces this fall. Special thank you to Tucker by Gaby Basora for providing these amazing tips for us!

“Take a hint from trendsetter Selita Ebanks and pair a sophisticated and subtle colored lace top with a bold printed skirt, like this Pleated Skirt from Tucker by Gaby Basora. Top the look off with simple accessories and a sleek hairdo.

(Second Photo) Revamp a classic lace, like this Short Sleeve Yoke Blouse from Tucker by Gaby Basora. We suggest pairing it with a bright colored cami or for an edgier look, a colorful bra adds a pop of color. Dress this look up by pairing with a solid skirt, or for a more casual look, a pair of jeans works just as well.”
