There's no such thing as too much lacing! What and how to lace up fashionably

Lacing is always piquant, sexy and exciting! The creators of outfits realized this back in the Middle Ages. It is impossible for a modern fashionista not to have at least a couple of items with this exquisite detail in her wardrobe.

Interesting! Invented back in the 13th century, laces with metal tips helped Christopher Columbus improve his financial affairs: the Indians were happy to pay for the innovation brought from overseas with gold bars.

Meet the fashion trend: lacing

lace-up dressHowever, the acquaintance took place a long time ago - in previous decades this element often appeared on clothes, shoes and jewelry. However, fashion has never seen such an abundance of laces. They can be found:

  • on clothes - front, back, sides, on the sleeves, on the legs and instead of a zipper on the codpiece;
  • on shoes of all seasons;
  • on decorations.

Lacing turned out to be suitable not only in its traditional romantic style.Any outfit - from sports to business - can be transformed with such an element, and a simple to the point of mediocrity thing will acquire a zest with it.

Advice! Does a top with laces look too revealing? Let's balance the ensemble with a fairly strict blazer, jacket or jacket and pencil skirt. It will turn out moderately catchy and quite restrained.

The most fashionable things with lace-up details

Lacing is most often associated with corsets and high boots, but its uses are not limited to these things. You can see laces not only on the back or lower leg!

Important! The brightness of this accent dictates special style requirements. To avoid annoying errors, it is better to select an ensemble of monochromatic items. However, skillful and moderate use of prints can be beneficial!

Blouse with lacing on shoulders

blouseAn ordinary cut item is transformed with this detail! With the help of lacing on the shoulders, you can skillfully demonstrate the advantages of your appearance. The delicate fragility of the shoulders (or vice versa – their muscularity!) is emphasized by a shirt made of thin fabrics. White color will highlight tanned skin, and black will highlight its delicate whiteness. Nice and bright colors.

Important! You need to lace up the sleeves skillfully: too tight - the fabric will wrinkle, too loose - the look will be careless, which is only appropriate when imitating the style of a free artist.

Blouse with lacing on the chest

blouse with laceAny, even the most modest blouse can be transformed with such decoration. Lacing can be bold to provocative (opening, in addition to the neckline, a fairly wide strip of the body) or have the appearance of a modest triangle. The last case is appropriate in everyday looks: Complete with a pencil skirt, formal shoes and a jacket, it is also suitable for the office.

Looks great in other ensembles:

  • sports - in combination with a short skirt like a tennis skirt, ballet shoes (sneakers are also suitable);
  • street - with torn jeans, a “hooligan” cap, a loose cardigan, rough boots (clogs are suitable for summer);
  • youth - with shorts and platform shoes.

Important! When putting on a thing with “revealing” lacing, which does not imply the presence of a bra, you need to be sure not only of the appropriateness of such an outfit, suitability of status and age, but also of suitable external data! The owner of too large breasts will look provocative; with a modest size zero in this form you can run into ridicule.

Tunic with lace

It is enough to wear it with leggings, skinny jeans, and colored tights. The bravest ones will allow themselves to wear a fairly long tunic with over the knee boots and black tights.

A tunic will help hide the lack of a waist – in combination with a straight skirt of any length or classic trousers.

Dress with lace

There are no limits to design imagination here! A dress of any shape, length and style can be decorated with a fashionable detail, and she is allowed to show off anywhere: on the sides, front, back and sleeves. An alternative to a more traditional finish is also possible - several rows of laced ribbon will make the dress original and noticeable.

Important! Lacing is a very eye-catching detail in itself, so you shouldn’t overload the ensemble with an abundance of accessories.

There are many possible options:

  • dressa short dress in the style of a long blouse or tunic with cords on the sides, front or back;
  • a luxurious dress with an imitation corset - the fabric and accessories are matched to match;
  • country style dress with a full skirt, open shoulders, small lacing at the top of the bodice;
  • boho dress with wide ruffles and lace-up decor.

This decoration remains traditional in wedding and prom fashion.

Skirt with lace

Advice! For some reason, the laced slit or sides of the skirt seem inappropriate? Take a closer look at models with lace-up pockets!

Shoes and boots with laces

shoesShoes of all seasons have been decorated with lacing for a long time: shoes and boots, ballet flats and high heels are decorated with cords - matching the shoes or contrasting ones.

Sometimes such shoes form an ensemble with laced items, but its accentuating function is also possible. The main thing is to be able to combine the details of the image: floor-length and midi-length clothes require high heels, and shortened models look better with a flat sole or small heels.

Gladiator sandals

Evoking thoughts of ancient times, shoes have quite a few options. There are sandals:

  • gladiatorstall, reaching to the knee, they look great with a short dress (especially in the Greek style!), shorts, tunic;
  • to the ankle - long outfits are also beautiful with them;
  • without heels - equally gorgeous with a flowy boho dress, wide T-shirt, shorts;
  • with heels - this violation of the classical canon is suitable for emphatically feminine persons.

Swimsuit
