Lace – Love it or hate it, it’s back on the catwalks, and this can only mean one thing: trend alert! The Romantic look is hot this season, and lace compliments this look perfectly.

Here at Chiconomise we understand that if you’re new to lace then it can be quite a challenge to figure out what to wear it with; but we’ll let you in on a little secret. The trick is balance. You don’t want to over do it, but you want to wear enough to embrace the trend. So, just stick to one lace item per outfit for best results.

Lace is a great way to make an outfit look feminine. The sheer fabric is perfect for creating that flirty, girly look. We’ve found some fab black lace tops for you to get your hands on. If you want to spend then this black lace v-neck top by Beyond Vintage at £196.98 is for you. Its intricate detail and silk fabric content gives this top a luxurious look and feel. Team it with jeans or a leather skirt for the ultimate rock chick look (see spend v save on leather skirts). Or you can save with Next’s black lace t-shirt, £16. This simple cotton tee is a great way to update your wardrobe in adherence to the trends, without breaking the bank. Why not wear it with a formal suit, and have the lace top peeking through to create a smart yet edgy look.
