Style Guide: Embrace Embroidery & Lace

Embroidery and lace. It’s absolutely everywhere at the moment, and rightly so, because it’s certainly a trend that we back. In fact, we adore it so much, we want to see it on everything from artistic stitching on our accessories, to exquisite designs emblasoned on a statement jacket.

Though we’d forgive you for associating the age-old craft with your grandmother’s hankie collection, the traditionally twee needlework has been brought back with a modern update, that is guaranteed to bring something special to your wardrobe. From elegant bohemian blouses, to subtle accents on your favourite dress, there is a look for everyone to embrace this season.

Though the trend has been around for some time now, the good news is that it’s here to stay. With feminine florals making a reappearance in our wardrobes this Spring, there’s no better time to embrace some classic needlework. If traditional isn’t for you however, a bolder take on the look may be to your taste.
