Leather and Lace are trending this fall. The feminine look of lace can be offset by the edgy look of leather. Worn together or separate, these trends can go far in your wardrobe. One of the beauties of these pieces is that they are cyclical. This trend always comes back around every couple of years... which means that the pieces you purchase can be worn from one season to the next.
Right now, leather and lace are in retail stores everywhere. Leather skirts, pants and moto jackets are popular items. These pieces can be versatile in your wardrobe, making them worth the investment. Lace skirts/tops/dresses and accessories can be both feminine and sexy. Lace can bring out the sweet side of your outfit or tap into the more provocative depending on how it is paired. Lace can be daring or endearing. Leather can be harsh or subtle. The ability to influence the tone of each of these materials contributes to their popularity.
Take a for example... A blush lace dress: pure, classy, romantic
Now take a back lace over a nude fabric dress with a deep V and body hugging silhouette: alluring, formal, edgy
Depending on the context and use of lace, the result can be vastly different. The same goes for leather.
