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?
