This photo shows a young woman, dressed in a Balenciaga Black Lace Dress, dating from 1951. Although some people w
ill call this old, others vintage, and some will claim "omg that is for grandmas", many will be suprised to find out that the traditional lace trend is plunging powerfully back into fashion, taking a modern turn with elegant patterns and trimmings.
I have to admit that I love lace and vintage, but never manage to dare to pull of that look. Though I might try. Might. In the meantime, black lace is everywhere this season! From Nine West Booties, to Prada gowns and bags, and to Betsey Johnson prom dresses, lace decorates many garments and accessories this season.... It was particularly cherished a
t Prada's A/W fashion show last year, and from then on the trend has become even more powerful in the fashion world. Many fashion agencies claim "Without wishing to be forever going on about Prada, we can lay the praise or blame for this entirely at their door, since their current collection has one message — lace."
Generally lace can give a s
oft touch of elegance, class, femininity and even a little flirtatious aura about you. Lace can also add a touch of sophistication to a simple ensemble.
However, if you prefer lace in moderation, instead of a dress/top, opt for a pair of elegant lacy pumps, a delicate pair of lace elbow gloves, or a lace covered handbag (Prada and Valentino have many gorgeous designs, though I'm extremely reluctant about their prices.)
In conclusion, lace is delicate, refined and lace detailing is easily spotted on many dresses and tops. It is also quite affordable, as High Streets stores have a wide variety of lacy
garments and accessories to choose from. Remember, if you
have a simple outfit, a touch of lace can make all the difference, even if it is a pair of lace tights for example. :)

I must admit - I like lace underwear as it makes me feel very feminine. But I don't think I own any outer lacy clothes!
