Romance exists in tension. The subtle hint of skin, the soft drape of something silky against the body. Lace trim, which has traditionally adorned pieces relegated to the boudoir: nighties and bralettes, has made its way to the looks you wear far beyond the bedroom. Slip skirts, silky camis, and even pyjama-inspired shorts have become daytime (and evening) essentials that bring a dreaminess to your tailored wardrobe.
For nights out, embrace the flirtiness of lace, hinting at what’s underneath. Pared back to dramatic pieces, like a shimmer skirt or a furry coat, the lace grounds the outfit with a more subtle touch. During the daytime, lace’s romantic side comes out to play. You can lean into your femininity with a fully intimates-inspired look, or you can use lace details to soften your more practical everyday staples — yes, even at the office.

Emboldened by the shimmer of sequins, a blazing red dress adorned with black lace is the first thing to reach for on a night out. The silhouette speaks for itself. To complete the look, you need to style the dress with pieces that stand up to its siren-like attitude. A pair of strappy heels play into the look’s ferocity, while an oversize black leather jacket adds something sleek as the finishing touch. The lace detailing softens the intensity of the red sequins. It’s the kind of piece that works through different scenes from late dinners to evenings that stretch well past midnight. Minimal jewellery, tousled hair and barely-there makeup keep the look feeling effortless.
A dress with such a big personality can handle the sartorial heavy lifting, so take the opportunity to let it shine.

For a playful look, butter yellow lace-trim shorts with a camisole to match. Consider it an upgrade to the just-rolled-out-of-bed ensemble for your trip to grab a morning cappuccino. Or, let your favourite undies peek out from under a sheer, lacy white look. It’s a combination to break out for brunch with the girls, or to break up and style back to relaxed daytime classics like slouchy jeans or a boxy white tee. The appeal lies in the versatility.

Stevie Nicks once sang about leather and lace, emphasising the tension between hard and soft. Keep this in mind when you’re anchoring a look around something gauzy and sheer. A one-shouldered dress, finished with a dramatic lace hem, is the kind of closet staple that looks dressy, but is almost like wearing a nightgown out of the house.
The addition of a pair of croc-effect pumps and a slick leather trench coat is proof that a simple look can be dramatic if you get the details right.
