Black is the ultimate style uniform. And when delicate fabrics take this form it is a lethal combination. We have seen intricately worked fabrics all over the runway of late. We expect to see more at Singapore Fashion Week and other fashion weeks around the region. We are loving a little black dress, boasting sheer inserts or cut-outs and the use of lace.

Now, lace… when worn right, it’s never out of style. Sheer, lightweight fabric can add a balance of sophistication and femininity, it flatters women’s figure. No wonder it has remained a steadfast choice in women’s wardrobes for centuries.

We are not suggesting you get laced up from head to toe, but some carefully placed lace, complemented with some bold jewellery and accessories is easy and classic. Think lace bralettes with a silky button down. Or a classic shirt with a lace mini or midi. To achieve the ultimate black and gold look, simply pair some statement jewels.
