What’s Your Lace Style?
April 15th, 2011 by crystal
If you haven’t heard, lace is ‘in’ this season. Not just a little lace, either. A lace hem? A lace neckline? No way! I’m talking lace all over, baby. Head to toe lace (though I don’t suggest going too overboard).
Lace is SO in, there are different lace styles. Here’s a breakdown for you.
Vintage Heirloom
Nicole Miller at Nordstrom
Do you collect antique teacups?
Is your grandmother’s brooch one of your most cherished possessions?
If you’re a lover of all things vintage, this is your lace style. The Vintage Heirloom style is the lace you might see on antique tablecloths and drapes. Mostly though, it reminds me of dresses from the 1920′s – Boardwalk Empire style.
Racy Lacy
Victoria’s Secret
If your style is more vixen than victorian, this might be more your speed.
The Racy Lacy style takes your favorite lingerie styles and makes them wearable for everyday.
Doily Demure
French Connection at Asos
If you love lace for its feminine qualities, this is your style.
It’s the girl-next-door lace…the sweet and innocent girl-next-door, not Hef’s girl-next-door.
This style usually features a lace overlay that is remarkably similar to your Aunt Helen’s coffee table doilies.
It also does double duty in the trend sense because many of these styles are 70′s inspired.
So, which will it be? What’s Your Lace Style?

finding lace hard to do. i have a love of edgy things like studded maryjanes, but i also dont like to look racy or too sexy.
can i pair a vintage lace dress with harsher materials like leather and studs or is it out to mix styles?
