It’s not easy not to notice: lace is definitely in. I’ve always loved the way lace can immediately add that feminine touch to any outfit or wardrobe, whether it’s a top, skirt, or detailing on a handbag. I picked out some of my favorite tops that include that lovely lace. Enjoy!
- Free People “Teatime” Turtleneck, $88
Prim and proper, this ladylike turtleneck by Free People is at once charming and seductive. This top can be paired with denim or tuck it into a pencil skirt. The long sleeves allow it to be worn in the fall and winter, with a keyhole opening in the back, creating a sensual touch to the top.
- BCBGeneration, was $160, now $86.40
This grey sateen and floral lace panel dress is just gorgeous. With a high-rounded neck, V-back, and fitted material, above-the-knee dresses like this one by BCBGeneration can be worn with high black boots, or paired with a pair of black leggings and flats to dress the look down.
- Lace Miss Marc Tee, $78
Lace doesn’t always have to be fancy! Dress casual but still feminine with a t-shirt that has lace incorporated as a print, like this Lace Miss Marc Tee by Marc Jacobs. This jersey tee features lace, leaf, and Miss Marc graphics, and can be simply paired with a pair of straight-legged or acid-washed jeans and a pair of black boots! It’s that easy to look fresh and hip, with that hint of elegance!
- Lacy Cropped Cardigan, $22.80
For those looking to take the more affordable route, there’s of course, Forever 21. Accent your strapless dresses with this frilly, lace-ruffled, cropped cardigan. It is fully lined with stretchy modal jersey knit and comes to a close at the center front neck with a hook and eye.
Reformed Knit Lace Back Tee at Urban Outfitters, $42
One of my personal favorites is this Knit Lace Back Tee from Urban Outfitters. UO has partnered with some awesome independent designers to create an ongoing series of limited-edition collections available only at Urban Outfitters, including Reformed. This printed Reformed tank is trimmed with a sheer lace inset at the back. Cut with raw-edges throughout and finished with stitched roll at the shoulder.
