Trend Alert: Lace Leggings
The penchant for lace has been around for several seasons, but it seems to be reaching a climax through the festive period as increasing amount of the fabric appear on the High Street. I have noticed a lot of celebrities wearing lace leggings to mixed success. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted in '80s attire wearing a cropped pair on the set of the Sex and the City movie, and then Stella McCartney wore a pair of lace paneled leggings from her own line (£736) at her Christmas lights party.
Trend Alert: Lace Blouse
If you want to really indulge your feminine side this season then why not get yourself a lace blouse? There are so many currently available on the High Street with pretty cape sleeves.
Dare to bare by wearing your blouse over a black bra with a blazer or tuxedo jacket.
Look for Less: Prada Lace Skirt
Lace is a key trend for Autumn 2008 most prominently appearing on the catwalk at Prada where skirts, dresses and bags were made out of the delicate fabric. However, now that the trend has begun to filter on the High Street you no longer need a Prada budget to stay on trend.
Earlier this week I suggested ways to wear lace tights and today I have managed to find the Prada lace skirt look for less.
Style for Style: How to Wear Lace Tights
Last week I suggested ways to wear coloured-opaque tights, and today I'm continuing the tights focus with on-trend lace. Lace appeared on the catwalk at Prada where it shaped everything from skirts, dresses and handbags, but how does that translate to mere mortals like us, you ask?
There is a lot of lace on the High Street nowadays, but wearing them in the form of tights is an easy way to look stylish without going all out.
Celeb Style: Fearne Cotton
Fearne Cotton was spotted leaving Radio One this weekend that was so packed with High Street items that I'm beginning to wonder whether she is to be the next face of Topshop.
She wore a plain white t-shirt which states 'Love My Bones' with a so-on-trend-it-hurts lace bolero and added colour with red boots and a maroon handbag.
Her outfit shows how easily you can update your wardrobe for the Autumn months.
Trend Alert: Lace
It is a well known fact of fashion, that where Miuccia Prada leads, the rest of us follow.
It was she who revitalised the trend for heavy, boiled wool, paired stilettos with socks, and has such an open distaste for what she perceives as constrictions in fashion, you could almost credit her with kick starting the current love affair with mixing it up – think vintage garments worn with ultra-modern pieces, as well as a clashing of colours and textures.
So when Mrs Prada showed elegantly grown-up lace in her autumn/winter 2008 collection, the fashion world took note.
