How to style lace

There's nothing like the feeling of trying on a new piece that gives you a boost of confidence and a fresh pop of style.

The growing confidence around women dressing boldly is helping us put together outfits that let us be visible and unapologetic — including working lace back into a wardrobe that could use some new life.

If you've caught a glimpse of the bloomers trend showing up in the most fashionable of spaces, styled into looks we should all aspire to create, this guide is for you.

Lace has a versatility we don't make enough use of. It can lend a pretty feel to any outfit, but it also works as a small, welcome addition to a more androgynous look. The fits below will inspire you to try something new, while keeping casual and evening wear minimal and easy to style.
