Maybe it’s the Kate Middleton effect, but we’re in love with ladylike dressing. One way to get the prim and proper look is with lace, whether it’s a dress, top, or accessory. Lace pieces have an old-fashioned vintage appeal that’s ideal for work or play, as well as a bit of a naughty side. Pair it with something edgy (think leather, studs, or sultry colour schemes) to keep it from being too sweet, or go head-to-toe and embrace the duchess within.
