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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
