When women stepped out of the confines of their homes to establish their professional credentials in a male-dominated society, they also started donning the business attire, closely dictated by the male style, be it trousers, jeans, shirts, jackets and coats.
The unisexual attire helped women to proclaim
that they were on par with men. Now that there is nothing else to prove to the world, women want to go back to being women and announce their femininity through dressing as well.
Feminine dressing doesn’t mean just saris, skirts-blouses or gowns. The feminine touch can also be achieved by adding lace, net, frill |
or sheer. A little skin show at the right places adds allure, mystery and romance to the clothes.
Designer Lina Tipnis says, “Lace and net are
classic feminine fabrics. New treatments, such as teaming it with Napa leather or nude tone lining, embellishing with Swarovski crystals or smoky gemstones, make the apparel the season’s favourite. It is best worn in abundance rather than just highlights. Lace and satin combinations spellunderstated luxury!”
In fact, this season, lace items in black and white are going to be hot, so go and buy |
