| Summer Lace |
Chunky, homespun style embroidery is giving traditional lace a summer twist. You're looking for embroidery with impact, so chunky raised crochet styles on clothes and jewellery are key. Mix pastels and khaki for a tougher look, perfect for nailing the utility trend too. Dresses can be completely embroidered or just have lace details around the neck and hemline. Make like Chloe Sevigny and choose a colour popping lace dress for a modern twist on the ladylike trend.
