Not to overdo the look, delicate jewellery is worn to match the delicacy of lace dress you can find at Jordan Stewart London.

Feminine, flattering and timeless — delicate lace is something that will always draw a woman's attention, and for those reasons, it will always be a classic. This season, it comes in more colours than before and more unique designs than ever.

Lace was traditionally used as a trim to make garments more sexy and risqué, but now, it is designed to be more glamorous and on the other spectrum, more practical to style into real life.

For Love and Lemons — a standout brand that has popularized lace, delicate lace and skivvies — is a perfect example of the new lace.

Flattering pastel, nude and neutral are perfect colours to complement the delicate patterns. Accessories are not to be overdone with something this elegant, but they shouldn't be neglected either. A flapper-like head chain and hand chains are perfect unconventional pieces you would want to pair up with this For Love and Lemons dress from Jordan Stewart London.

Other than dresses, this season the delicate lace element makes an appearance in other types of pieces such as crop tops, past the knee skirts, lace peek-a-boos and long kimonos. The lace crop top is an obvious perfect choice for the classic high waist pencil skirt.

They generally look better with a skirt that is made of a stretch material or else it ends up looking way too formal and business-like. Past-the-knee skirts are so elegant because of the length for one, but also make the outfit look interesting especially if the lining of the skirt is shorter than the lace. Peek-a-boo lace can turn a boring, plain sweater into a girly and feminine piece that will open up for wardrobe options. Long lace kimonos are just amazing, dress a skirt and top combo with it or pair it with jeans for a contemporary casual look. It is that versatile.

Whether you're looking to dress up or down, lace is more wearable now without looking too sexy for the day. The colours and type of lace make it easier to stay away from looking too sexy when you just want to look sweet and feminine. It is one of those textures that really isn't new but inspires you to mix things up in your wardrobe.
