Everyone is wearing it! Even Hermione of Hogwarts was seen sporting it.
Summer just bows its tawny golden head for a second and the dark force color brigade arrives in full swing, moody and serio. No matter if you are in Leicester Square London or in downtown Honolulu, black is back, and this time it’s got a ‘come hither’ sheer appeal in the form of lace.
See-through, suggestive, floral, delicate, flirty, spidery and vampy all at once, black lace is the mother lode of sexy. Check out this lace dress from Topshop and you can easily see why.
If that’s too much information try on these amazing lace-capped tights that appear like gartered stockings but are all-in-one fun without creating a clean-out of the Christmas Fund to purchase.
The most predictable bit of lace has to be that lingerie edging that peeps out from a jacket or blouse. Who doesn’t resond to a black lace cami?
That’s the traditional bedroom eyes approach that black lace has taken for decades.
Or, you can punk lace up with Gothic elements–patent, PVC, chain detailing, crochet, and of course leather.
You could go all Puritan and starchy with white collared blouses, velvet and some stiff military tailoring.
Whether you choose to look like Lady Gaga’s boudoir, Ozzie Osborne’s megadeath twin or one of Cromwell’s cronies, black lace is going to be present this winter in more than a trim kinda way.

Shades of hot hot hot and shocking. Not neon–that’s too retro for this hottie, non-oughtie decade. We mean clear and hard pinks–like your great-aunt’s cheek rouge, a slash of screaming-Mimi.
