Spring Fashion Trend: For the Love of Lace (Photos)

Delicate, feminine and intricate – Lace is a big trend for spring.

We’re moving away from the bohemian-inspired crochet craze of 2012, and headed toward a more refined incarnation of intricate, negative-space detail in apparel and accessories.

One of the greatest features of Lace is that it can be styled to look super-sweet, by pairing soft and flowy silhouettes with delicate accessories; or it can be styled to look edgy and sharp, by matching bolder cuts of fabric with heavy-metal inspired accessories.

Below are a few fun ways to make ‘Lace’ a trend that works for you and your style. View the slideshow for some great pieces.

The Look You Want: Classic Girly-Femme

How to Get It: Go for a Lace dress or skirt in a classic cut and a neutral color, and pair them with simple and understated accessories. If you choose a Lace skirt, a neutral blouse looks the most sophisticated. There is nothing more lady-like than a little white lacey dress. So pretty.

The Look You Want: Fashion-Forward

How to Get It: Go all-out and rock head-to-toe Lace to really make a fashion statement. Not everyone can pull-off this look, but if it feels right to you – go for it! This look says that you’re on-trend and super-confident. Just make sure to keep your accessories simple (or non-existent!).

The Look You Want: Rock Star

How to Get It: Lace and Leather, perhaps?! Yes, please! Leather pants or a leather skirt with a Lace top is always hot. Lace short-shorts with colored tights, a fun top, and a leather jacket is also hot – as in, off-the-chain hot. This is not the look for a shrinking violet, obvi.
