A Touch of Daytime Lace

Style Theory: Lace is now a fashion staple and can look just as fabulous dressed down in the daytime as it does dressed up in the evening. A lace skirt can be easily inserted into your capsule wardrobe and worn with casual tops and flat sandals. Here's how:



This is my favourite lace skirt from H&M, I love wearing it with a breton, denim shirt or grey sweater as I think it looks better dressed down, somehow it makes it look more expensive.

Here is some more inspiration from Pinterest:

Wear your lace skirt with a grey jumper
Lace looks great with a chunky jumper
Such a luxurious look with muted khaki silk blouse and tan clutch.

Add a grey tee for an easy and classic look
Love the structured crop top with the lace skirt.

The key is to dress down your top half to balance out the intricate detail of the skirt. If possible wear with a small heel as this is always more flattering on your legs, but if it is hot then I think a gold pair of strappy flat sandals would look just as good. Add some fine gold jewellery and keep accessories simple, a pop of colour looks great, you can add a block colour handbag/clutch in orange or red.

The best lace skirts on the high street:
Topshop Cut Out Rose Lace Skirt £38 (also in white)

I hope this inspires you to add a little lace to your wardrobe for this spring/summer..if it ever comes?!

  5. Just trying to remember which shop I was in after Christmas and saw a lace skirt reduced drastically. Trouble is the weather was cold and very wet and I wasn't in the mood for a cream lace skirt at the time. Darn it! I really love lace especially when it's toughened up with denim or leather. Lovely outfits Frances x

  10. Love the way you've paired yours with some stripes and the fab H&M sandals/shoes. I don't know what to call them! I don't get out enough but if I did - I'd certainly invest and wear as you've directed, a little more dressed down on the top to let the skirt do all the talking.
