It’s Easter weekend, the perfect moment to trot out your most delicate, ladylike lace, right? Wrong. Consider, instead, taking a more relaxed approach to this most feminine of fabrics by working it into classic combinations, like backpacks and jeans, or pairing it with more off-duty pieces, like simple black pants, oversize sweaters, and utilitarian jackets, for an unexpected, yet totally enticing, tomboyish twist. Just look at this shining example: Caroline Issa on StyleSight knocks lace off its often prissy pedestal by wearing a trench-style jacket, whipped up with white lace, tossed casually over the shoulders of an equally casual, Sunday-chic look. Why not make the idea your own by picking up some key lace pieces from our list below and finding inventive ways to work them into your wardrobe? If you see anything interesting you think we should add, send it to us via facdbook and Twitter (@voguemagazine and @MMBVogue) and we can add your item and your name next week.
