How To Wear Lace This Fall

Lace is a timeless style that can be tricky to wear because it is often times sheer. It is especially difficult to add lace pieces to fall looks. However, with a few extra layers, summer oriented lace pieces can be layered, making them perfect for the chillier days ahead.

Lace in darker tones rather than white are perfect for fall. This olive green color is a perfect example. Here the lace is built into the dress and laid over the main construction providing a loose fit. Dresses like this allow the sheer lace to shine without showing skin.

To balance out feminine lace details, add solid knits and black tights.

Another way to wear lace is to wear it over a solid top. Here a white summer lace top was converted into a fall look with a burnt orange scarf, hat and cup of coffee to keep warm and cozy.

This top has extra volume and a long hem, I suggest pairing these types of silhouettes with a slim fitting pant.

Do you have a few lace pieces in your closet ready to take on fall? Let us know in the comments below.

Statement Outerwear For Fall

Outerwear is essential for the upcoming months as the days grow colder. One of the best ways to spice up an outfit is to pair it with a bold coat or sweater. This is perfect for a fun weekend especially if it includes an outdoor adventure.

Shag coats are a huge trend this season. If you love the look of fur, but would rather go faux, this is the perfect alternative. Pair a shag coat with a black shirt dress, tights, and booties for a look that keeps you warm and stylish.

Statement jackets look great when worn with simple, basic silhouettes. (You can find a similar look at Forever 21)

Vests are also popular this fall. They are lightweight and perfect for those warmer autumn days. Pair a vest with your favorite pair of jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. Opt for simple accessories such as a watch or small chain necklace. They are classic and keep the focus on the vest.

Vests are great layering pieces. They can be worn with pants, skirts, or dresses.  (You can find this vest at Zara ).

Will you be wearing a statement jacket this season? Be daring, show it off on your next afternoon out with friends. From fringe to bold patterns or even sparkle, fall is all about making a statement!
