Lace in Fashion

This article was published in +977 (a Nepalese Lifestyle Magazine in Australia) in May-June 2013 issue.

977 Lace in Fashion

Lace detailing is absolutely beautiful and undeniably feminine and it has always had a particular allure in fashion and now it’s sexy, skin-tight & best worn with ample attitude. It was a textile that signified all that was luxurious, highly desirable and new.

‘Lace’ is a category that includes a number of detailed techniques, from embroidery, macramé, knitting, knotting and crochet, to guipure, Chantilly, Valenciennes and Venetian.

The LBD gets an even sexier tilt when you add a little lace. And don’t forget all the sexy accessories you can get in lace like stocking, bags, belts, shoes, scarfs, headbands, gloves and even umbrellas.

How to wear lace dress?

Colourful Lace

Colour is always good mood enhancer and it is same with a colourful lace dress.  Colours such as bright red or pink will give a sufficient statement to your appearance. Make sure you accessorise in neutral colours .

Casual Lace

For a casual look, you can choose to wear a longer dress with neutral colours. Choose minimal accessories to keep it simple, fun yet elegant.

Metallic lace

If you want something a little more contemporary, choose metallic lace for parties or formal occasions. Metallic lace goes best with black accessories.

Lace for evening

Lace goes perfectly for evening wear or formal events. From long gowns to elegant short dresses, lace will definitely make you look more feminine. Match the accessories and keep it minimal to highlight the dress.

Do you like lace?

Till next post, take care.

Trend Alert: Collar Necklaces

Collar necklaces have been popping up everywhere and I had to get my hand on this latest trend. These feminine necklaces take an outfit from ordinary to outstanding.

This look can be achieved with almost any outfit you wear, put on that strapless dress you love and top if off with a fashionable necklace, or wear it with button-ups and t-shirts to sweaters.

If you are ready to transform your outfits from dull to chic then try this fashionable new trend.

Here are some you can try on.

Teen Vogue shares 10 Ways to Wear Cute Collar Necklaces .

  • Toss It Over Dark Separates

Add an embellished collar necklace to your all-black ensemble to add sass to monochrome separates.

  • Layer Over Lace

Adorn a lace dress with a glittery topper to make your shift stand out from the rest of the crowd.

  • Keep It Red White and Blue

Top a summery blue frock with a pearl collar necklace and red blazer for a modern take on the classic red, white, and blue.

  • Cover Up A Deep V-Neck

For a sharp contrast to a bohemian silhouette, pop on a black oxford collar over a super-feminine wrap dress.

  • Mix Up Your Textures

Tack on an embellished necklace with a fuzzy sweater for a layered look.

  • Slide On Sequins

Sequins add some major sparkle to a bare neck—cover up a loose and low tank with a glittery collar.

  • Mix and Match Patterns

Pair a floral collar with stripes to turn a very simple outfit into an enviable one

  • Top Neon With Metallic

For an electric ensemble, pair pops of neon and fur with a metallic collar.

  • Double Up

Make a simple white blouse a high-fashion statement with not one but two collars (including a sparkly one, of course).

  • Pair With A Printed Accessory

Balance out a bold-hued bottom and animal print purse with a white shirt and matching sequined collar; it’s simple, but still tops everything off with a special touch.

Prabal Gurung for Target: Ruffle Dress in Sulphur

I couldn’t wait till spring to wear my Prabal Gurung dresses so today I wore the Ruffle Dress in Sulphur to work. (It’s autumn here now so it would be a long wait till spring 🙂 )

IMG_6655

I noticed that the dress is a bit brighter than I expected. As my skin is brown, it tends to make me look a shade darker.  I am very happy with the quality of the dress though. It is super lightweight and very fluid. For a target dress, it is just very good. The length of the dress is a bit longer than my normal dresses but that may be because I am not very tall. Absolutely no see through issues.

I wore the dress with a black blazer and was very happy to see it go so well.

I wore my black max shoes and big black ring.

IMG_6657 IMG_6659

I am sure I can wear this dress more this season with a black belt, black stocking and black boots.

Can’t wait to style my other Prabal Gurung collections.
