When lace is primped and layered it does – without question, present an ultra-feminine semblance. But what happens when design houses like Tao embellish their industrial gothic collection with the white, flowy material? Or when  Valentino construct the fabric to create  genteel, mature pantsuits? There’s no one way to wear lace this season, and it’s a break away from the hard-edged and dark looks that cascaded the runway in 2009. It’s also a subtle but refreshing alternative to the shimmering disco sequins that has been the range amongst the fashion obsessed.

It’s wise to play with the idea of a lace top, dress, or a jacket this season. You’ll be dazzled by the softness it will add to wardrobe.
