Wearing lace to work isn’t necessarily inappropriate. Though the idea of Moulin Rouge springs into mind, there are certainly ways to work around it.
 
  1. Make sure that it isn’t too see-through.
The trick about lace is that if it’s too see-through, then the look instantly gets cheapened. What you want to do in such a case is to make sure that you wear a black camisole inside so that more intimate pieces are not visible. To look a little more professional, you may want to opt for a sleeved piece versus one that exposes your arms.
 
  1. Make it your statement piece 
Lace in itself is already very busy. Instead of pairing it with a loud skirt and accessories, go for a subtle, sleek and clean looking black pencil skirt. This instantly helps draw your attention to your top while keeping everything else well put together. Otherwise, a pair of long and flowy gray pants works just as well. Go with black or nude shoes. Just stay away from the lace dress which gives more of an evening-wear vibe.
 
  1. Opt for a nude blazer
If you aren’t sure how conservative you company is, the best thing you can do is to wear a nude blazer over your lace top. The thing about nude blazers is that it adds a professional touch, while giving the lace top the attention it deserves.
