First of all, it’s better to choose the modest versions of lace. You may switch to something neutral, non-see-through lace fabrics, and form-fitting lace pieces. One way to wear lace gracefully is to spend on a slip or cami. You should never walk out in a flimsy lace top that reveals your bra or a mini dress that exposes your thong. Second, think out of the box and try on classics with modern matching essentials. Wearing lace is all about having fun with romantic touches, femininity, and colors. Remember, you don’t always need to show your bare skin in order to be feminine and sexy. Sometimes, the more modest your style is, the more alluring and sophisticated you can be.

Lace blouses and lace skirts are a soft counterpart for a classic suit for an office look. Yes, lace can be worn to the office, but there’s a specific trick to maintain your outfit polished and not raunchy. Be sure you pick neutral colors to keep the classic and demure touch since wearing bold colors will be too daring for a conservative setting and eliminate the element of grace to your look. For office-friendly attire, stick with pencil skirts, maxi skirts, and blouses with thicker lace prints. You may also opt for asymmetrical skirts such as tulip skirts.
