Here are a few glimpses of what is in fashion this season when it comes to lace.

High Necks – Leave All to the Imagination

Instead of strapless dresses, go for high necklines and leave all to the imagination. You don’t need to show off your cleavage and your bust to make heads turn and catch attention. Designed well, a bright dress with high neckline will look more romantic and sexy than stuffy.

During the recent Lanvin show in Paris, models walked the runway in colorful numbers. The designer Albert Elbaz designed dresses demurely with high necklines and long sleeves, yet these modest designs looked very seductive under his masterful touch.

Sheer Long Sleeves – be Elegant this Fall

Long sleeves are all about elegance. This season, the chic and lace dress has been given an elegant touch with sheer long sleeves. While the rest of the dress should be fully lined, only the sleeves made with sheer lace expose just enough skin to give you that elegant, yet femme fatale look. It will flatter your feminine form in a very elegant way.

Overlay lace dresses- look chic and modish

Lace overlays look very chic, indeed. If you are wearing a simple sleeveless or strapless dress, you can give it an interesting update by wearing a lace overlay on it. The color contrast with the simple dress beneath will give a really gorgeous look. You can wear this kind of lace overlay to formal events or even to casual parties. Add a little bit sparkle on your overlay to make it an attention-grabber in spotlight events.

This type of design was seen in the Botegga Venetta show during Milan fashion week. It is most definately an interesting way to cover yourself in the fall season. Instead of blazers and overcoats, get lace overlays to cover up your sleeveless and strapless dresses.
