Ever spend so much on lingerie that you
almost feel you should wear it outside, just to rationalize the splurge? Well, we're not going to tell you to do that. We will, however, show you that lace isn't just for those frilly little things. The barely-there, semi sheer fabric is quite the fashion anomaly in the sense that it looks good on everything and, can go from delicate and demure to devastatingly sexy depending on how it's worn. Opt for pure enchantment in
Alexander McQueen's dreamy lace inset gown, or conjure up some playful elegance in
Diane von Furstenberg's peek-a-boo lace dress. A laminated lace clutch offers a modern spin on the decadent style, and can complement your look whether you're headed to a club or a cocktail party. Try it on shoes too, but go for the unexpected- a lace-covered heel or a lace bow accent a la
Marc by Marc Jacobs- just don't be surprised when they're all staring at your feet. Go to
Elle's Fall A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and check out the slideshow for our favorite lacy finds.
