Something for the weekend: Lace

Having successfully shaken off its fusty image, lace continues its rise back up the fashion food chain. The best part of this revival is that both designers and the high street appear to have realised that it doesn't have to be a) Victorian-like and b) supremely OTT and girlie. Top buy is New Look's timelessly chic belted coat, which reminds us of the very talented designer Erdem . Left to right from above: Navy T-shirt £155, by Preen Line from Net-a-Porter . Nude blazer £32, by Next . Mac £55, by New Look . Black and navy dress £260, by Marc by Marc Jacobs from Net-a-Porter Cream mini-skirt £95, by Reiss .
