Shane Watson: I am a fashion expert. Yes, you can wear lace more than 50, but only if you follow my 3 strict rules and never wear this one color

What do you think of when you think of Kant? Spanish mantillas? Those sides black tights that we all wore in the 1980s? A wedding dress? Princess Caroline From Monaco’s wedding dress? ((Google If you don’t remember it, it’s heaven of wedding dresses).

I will tell you what I think when I think on my way: delicious on my stepdaughter, not on me or someone older than 50. A lace upholstery, a glimpse of lace in the neckline of a jacket, maybe: something else is an immediate field.

But it may be time to reconsider the lace ban.

The Dior Cruises Show was a wall-to-wall side (including on the celebrities in the audience), everything white or cream and there enough actress Rosamund Pike’s top and skirt, for one-and-very wearable.

Marks & SpencerThe Everywoman Store, is full of lace in every conceivable style, from the floating to sharp tailor -made, all with matching performances. Me+EM, the chic leader of the High Street brand in Event Dressing, has at least 20 sides items in the summer collection. The message is Kant is the brand new, refined, through – and now people who don’t get through are welcome to participate.

Let’s deal with the elephant in the room. White, ivory, cream -colored side? We are certainly too old for that.

In fact, it is not so much the color as the weight of Kant that stands in the way of fifty plusers. Guipure side, which is thicker and linked to wire instead of light embroidery on a nice net background, is less delicate and offers much more coverage – both passes with us. (It is worth mentioning that delicacy and flimsiness are often more an aging red flag than the skin in the skin.)

Stay with the fixed varieties of lace, with a color -dependent lining, and wear it in a clean modern way (avoiding chloe inspired by chloe and romantic foam) and it will be fine.

And it is worthwhile because the right side injects a touch of transparency (fashionable and youthful) plus texture (fashionable and flattering) and – completely the trick this – beauty without girls.

The obvious first choice and a large trend of the moment is a white or broken white Lacey summit. The main street moans with this: skip those who are romantically labeled and go for a shirt with a subtle lace trim collar and ladder sides inserts (£ 27.99, Zara.com) or a little more closer with a rough collar such as Sezane’s Chlo -Shirt in Ecru Guipure Lace (£ 95, Sezane.com).

How you wear Kant now is the key to keep it modern, not getting older. With jeans with a high waist and a brown leather belt-light Tan faux suede jacket optional or graze, the top of a straight denim skirt with low Blokha-heelblazels sandals is the best choice.

The lace is the only beautiful, female element and the rest of your outfit must be simple and dressed: no high heels, no costume jewelry, no complete skirts.

As an alternative, wear a male shirt in a minimal lace skirt such as Jaeger for Marks and Spencer’s Light Midi Kilt in modern Marine Diamant (unlike flowers) side (£ 150, marksandspencer.com). This is a good smart work option and it also comes to ivory, with a Matching top with short sleeves (£ 89)To make a cool, pure but not pure coordde that you could wear everywhere.

A flower -white lace dress is too iconic for midlifers, but a lace dress in a daring block color is another matter.

The advantage of lace dresses is that they enable you to play with the illusion of transparency (you can have a slightly shorter lower cushion or bare shoulders with lace sleeves) and they look special. Me+Em’s Puff-Sleeve Swing dress with bags in Cobalt Blue Guipure (£ 147.50, Gemenel.com) That place touches between clean and modern and modern and dramatic. The easier the style and more and more, the better it works.

Do not be tempted to dress this kind of side: wear it with sandals with plain open-tens or silver flats. And stay with strong colors – the pale are too bridesmaid. Black is a 100 percent discount on the menu when it comes to dresses, without saying. You look like a Sicilian grandmother.

Yet a little bit of black side can be charming and offer semi-transparent coverage. M&S does a Polka Dot Print Midaxi Slip Dress with slim straps covered with a fine black side V -Nek and short sleeves (£ 49.50) Making the unwanted portable and immediately making much more mature. And when in doubt, a silky camisole with a thick tire of lace (£ 55, Whitecompany.com) is an easy way to soften a jacket and pants and to become in the evening.
