Girls, such girls! How we love to dress up, to put on all the best and most elegant at once! At this moment, our brain seems to turn off, and we forget about one of the main rules of a fashionable image: you can’t overload it with details. The “juice” is in conciseness and simplicity, which can easily be disrupted by such elements of clothing as guipure and lace. We will talk about them in more detail today.
What age is suitable for lace?
Lace has not gone out of fashion for many years. Many couturiers are inspired by its femininity and sexuality, which is why guipure items appear with enviable regularity in designer collections and in the regular mass market. But can every girl or woman easily try on lace? I’ll answer briefly - everyone can try it on. But how it will look on her is another question.
Lace is submissive to women of all ages. Or rather, completely different lace will suit women of different ages. A lady of Balzac's age looks ridiculous and vulgar in a mini-dress made of thin tight-fitting guipure. It’s another matter when she changes into a formal dress with lace elements or puts on a blouse made of knitted lace. The same can be said about a very young lady who is studying at school. Only a wardrobe with separate lace inserts, for example, on a classic shirt, is suitable for her.
A lace wardrobe looks best on a woman 25-40 years old. At this age, beauties can afford almost any lace - the main thing is that it looks appropriate at the event and is combined with other wardrobe items.
When does lace clothing look vulgar?
Often, even on a young, slender girl with an ideal model appearance, lace looks vulgar and provocative. An overly revealing dress or blouse will attract the attention of men, but most self-sufficient and self-respecting young people are impressed by a modest young lady with a cute lace collar on her dress, and not a socialite in a guipure mini and huge heels.
Remember: vulgarity = bad taste. There are no exceptions to this rule. Looks extremely provocative:
- translucent lace without thick fabric lining. It is only suitable as underwear, but not for a going out dress;
- a combination of several types or shades of lace in one look. It's easy to go overboard, so it's important to focus on just one thing or element;
- bright colors. Not any bright lace looks vulgar, but only that which is ineptly combined with other accessories, hairstyle or makeup. An absolute taboo is the combination of scarlet lipstick and red lace. And if you add to this set the extremely short length of the skirt and high heels... I’ll leave it without comment;
- a combination of guipure and massive ornate jewelry. Lace itself is a self-sufficient accessory that does not need any additions.. Small stud earrings or a thin chain in combination with guipure look more organic than long earrings with stones and a large necklace. Everything should be in moderation.
Examples of eye-catching guipure outfits
Above you learned about how and when you should not wear lace items. Let's consolidate the material on specific images. They are extremely strange.
Panther or tigress
Every woman wants to be both a cute cat and a predator at the same time. Everything would be fine in this outfit if the girl decided who she was: a black panther or a tigress. The combination of a black lace dress and animal print accessories is not a good idea.. All you had to do was either choose plain accessories for the dress, or choose a plain dress for the bag.
Did you oversleep? No problem!
Fashionable now chemise style dresses look stylish if they are the right length and color. In this outfit, it seems as if the model overslept, threw on the first jacket she came across over her nightgown and ran.
Corset and lace are not the best friends
Even Hollywood beauties make mistakes sometimes. Charlize Theron chose not the most successful combination of a corset and a lace dress for a social appearance. All together it looks quite vulgar.
Red on beige
One of the favorite techniques of designers is to place a lining of beige fabric under translucent lace. Due to this, the illusion of a naked body is created. Often it looks impressive, but in combination with the color red - too much sexuality.
Angelic tenderness
This image is a clear example of how things that are beautiful in themselves do not combine with each other.A top with ruffles and a white lace skirt look self-sufficient, so they look better separately.
No mystery
Every girl should have a secret, so a lace minidress with a neckline down to the navel is best left for a special occasion. Or go for a walk in this form only accompanied by a young man.
Ruffles, ruffles
I don’t recommend wearing an outfit with a lot of guipure ruffles for a girl with a curvy figure. They will externally add a few more kilograms. It’s better to leave such splendor to the skinny woman, and choose an elegant sheath dress with lace inserts on the chest.
Maybe it's better to go to the beach?
The beautiful Svetlana Loboda appeared on the red carpet in this dress, but in reality it is better to sunbathe in such an outfit. It’s still worth wearing, for example, a T-shirt dress under the transparent mesh. If such an appearance is excusable for a “superstar,” then an ordinary woman in a transparent outfit will cause bewilderment.
In your opinion, which outfits still deserve approval?
A woman of Balzac's age is a woman between 30 and 40 years old! It is precisely this age that the author first condemns for his love of guipure, and then declares it to be a priority for the use of this same guipure in the wardrobe.Use fixed expressions correctly,
Dear Ekaterina, please take a closer look. The point is that a woman of Balzac’s age cannot wear every item made of guipure.
Not every item made of lace can be worn at any age - in the sense of not wearing it correctly, I knit lace myself and everything matters, color, model, length and age and the person himself..
Catherine, correction: Honoré Balzac wrote “A Woman of Thirty” (in 1842, God forbid), and not from 30 to 40.
And Pushkin wrote “An Old Woman of Thirty.”!!!
Irina, “put on – Nadezhda, put on – clothes”)))
What does that have to do with me?
Even though I’m Irina too, I didn’t write to wear or dress!
