Lace has been one of the biggest trends this year, not only has it dominated the spring catwalks with its bright and bold colours, but it is back with a different twist for winter. This season’s winter lace is more edgy rather than sweet with darker tones giving a sleek and chic look for winter, perfect for any special occasion.

At the moment the high street is filled with catwalk inspired dresses to suit the A/W season. Check out this look to get you ready for the winter party season, Phase Eight’s Lace Maxi dress.

If you are not keen on going all out with a statement lace dress, lace accessories can work wonders. Adding a lace clutch or scarf will add a little elegance to your look allowing you to transform your outfit from office to evening wear. This trend is perfect for attending a winter wedding with the romantic fabrics or perhaps an elegant alternative to the little party dress.

The best way to wear this season’s lace is to vamp it up with dark deep colours and layers. Team the feminine lace with heavy fabrics like leather and velvet to update your look from spring to autumn. The lace trend is certainly taking off and Phase Eight are ones to watch with their wedding guest collection which showcases occasion wear from exquisite lace dresses to simple lace detailing.
