Lace clothing has spanned the decades from 1920’s flappers to the punk rocking 80’s and it’s hanging on into the Spring/Summer 2011 collections. Here I will give you hints for some gorgeous lace tops and offer suggestions for wear.
Top 3 Lace Tops!:
Topshop White Lace Leaf Embellished Swing Top
We will start with Topshop’s White Lace Leaf Embellished Swing Top. The texture and needlework in the top is beyond belief, it’s delicate and feminine with the swing bottom adding the 2011 edge! This is a top that will take you all through spring and into summer. The leaf detailing and key hole opening on the back makes this a perfect everyday piece that will take you from day to night.
In spring grab this to team with a smart pair of tailored jeans, heeled brogues and bright red lippy. As this piece is heavily detailed lace I would keep your colours simple so the lace does the talking. Most importantly this top comes in at a £36 steal, nicely done!
Miso Grey Gem Lace Vest Top
2011 sees the return of grunge music and the styling that comes with this incorporates heavy studs, leather and Lace. My second top choice is by Miso available at Republic. Miso’s Grey Gem Lace Vest Top grabs the grunge culture and runs with it.
With the lace only on the front portion of this vest brings greater styling versatility. If the grunge look is what your wishing to create go for a pair of black jeggings, cropped leather jacket and Dr Martins – this is the ultimate 80’s grunge come back, think Madonna and you’re there!
If you fancy just a hint of grunge then wear with a pair of bell bottoms and black wedges making the top stand out above anything else! Again this piece won’t break your budget coming in at £36.99; it’s definitely added to my wardrobe!
Peacocks Lace Trim Top
My final suggestion for the perfect lace top is Peacocks Lace Trim Top. 2011 sees the return of the New Romantics bringing back floral prints, floaty dresses and cropped tops. This top fits in perfectly with this famine vintage feel that is bang on trend. This beautiful rose printed black top is a must; with just a hint of lace it’s perfect for the office and a coffee with the girls! The synched in waist works great for curvy girls. It gathers our waist in thus promoting our figure and also appeals to boyish shapes by creating an illusion of curves.
If you wish to update your office look then by teaming this with high waisted, straight leg pants and peep toes you can create a new romantics feel. If you want a more relaxed everyday look then wear with skinny jeans and team with a long vest top and you can give the top a more seventies feel!
This Floral Lace Trim Top comes in at the bargain price of £15 and even better is Peacocks free delivery when spending £30 so go grab the whole look for less!
