LACY LADY

Demure, flirty, dressy: however you choose to wear it, lace is one of this summer’s most versatile trends, says Katy Pearson
Fashion’s love aff air with lace is not a new thing. Indeed, back in 1928 The Lady extolled the virtues of this openwork fabric, stating, ‘Lace can never be out of place. When cleverly arranged it is extremely chic.’

But never has it been so wearable. Once a luxurious, handmade material, it’s now eminently aff ordable. Yet it remains as chic as when it fi rst became popular in Europe in the 15th century.
