Trendwatch: Lace

By Silhouettes · April 27, 2011 · 0 Comments · 6 Views

Spring and summer fashion in 2011 is going to be marked by a couple of trends, and one is lace. This pretty, delicate embellishment is showing up on sleeves, hems and necklines after designers began incorporating it into the season’s hottest looks.

Here's an example of a lace-trimmed blouse that would look hot with a pair of jeans or tighter-fitting pants.

This plus-size tunic features lace insets in the sleeves and neck--another fun way to work lace into your wardrobe.

And finally, to add a hint of lace that peeks out from underneath a shirt, this cami, in print or black, is a great idea!

Sometimes it’s fun to bring back old styles and get retro for a bit. Want to release your inner love child and go back in time? These 60s-inspired pieces are just the thing to make you feel peace and happiness.

This beautiful embroidered plus-size blouse is light and airy and feminine, with a cool empire-waist style. The crochet detail at the neck and sleeves adds a nice touch of hippie-inspired flair.

The peasant blouse is an old favorite, and this updated version is great for any season. In the winter, pair it with long pants, boots and flats, or maybe a skirt.

Now you just need some bell bottoms and beads and you’re on your way back to the 60s!

Be Bold

Bold prints and floral prints are trending right now in a big way. If you’re missing some spark in your wardrobe, adding something bold or brightly printed (floral or otherwise) can be a great way to spice things up.

One example of a way to be bold and floral is this beautiful plus-size top. The cascade brings in another fun trend, too. Pair it with a black cardigan for days at the office and you’re ready to go!

Another very pretty print option is this smocked blouse. The blue and purple swirls make this georgette top stand out. And this paisley print tunic is bold and fun, with an uneven hem that gives you an individual style that pops.

Make sure you keep bold prints and florals in mind as you shop this fall!
