Lace is one of the most feminine pieces in a woman style but it also often looks otherworldly. However HYPEED members succeeded in wearing lace in a very modern way.

Their secret?

They mix patterns and fabrics, which beautifully emphasize the delicacy of lace. Our cover girl Johanna J. dared to pair lace and fur for a 100% glam and trendy look. Same technique for A&A who also combined lace with a different fabric. But this time it gives a relax and modern look. Its greatest advantage is how it makes women naturally sophisticated and seductive in a blink of an eye.

In a nutshell, covering flesh as well as it reveals it, lace embodies a subtle fashion game made of suggestions and exhibitions. Black, white, beige, tights, tops or dresses, HYPEED members use lace in a variety of awesome looks.

Here is an overview.

I have a special relationship with lace. Its transparency allows you to associate it with any garment. You can wear lace day and night. It is a very important fabric in my closet. It's actually one of my favorite fabrics.

Kaitlin Isabella's discrete lace pieces lighten up her total-black look and add a sophisticated touch.

So chic!

"Lace on lace is probably a little bit excessive and over the top. But it seemed like the most romantic choice to wear to a beautiful wedding I attended. I'm so glad I wasn't too afraid to pair them up!"

HYPEED member Wicked Plum Vintage's outfit surprisingly looks modern although the total-lace dress seemed risky.
No matter if both the dress and the accessories are vintage pieces, mixing different styles and fabrics definitely works with lace.

Amy & Alex

"Texture play is usually our way... Lace always lends a helping hand.
Endless options with lace garments, you transform into the romance, the goth, the punk... Lace can give you anything you ask for.
Tights are an inexpensive and fun way to continue the experimentation with mixing looks and patterns."

"Lace has made a come-back in the best of ways. You can wear just a hint of lace to add a little extra jazz to any outfit."

"I think that this is my favorite little black dress in my closet. It is different because of the intricate design on its slightly sheer sleeves. Rather than covered by a normal lace pattern, my arms are like transformed into a kaleidoscope vision of waves. The sleeves are unexpected and very elegant."

Carlis

"This look brought me luck! I think it is divine, romantic and elegant. Besides, lace is what we continually see in fashion collections."

Lorenz's look shows that lace can remain simple. Paired with jeans, it's the ideal choice for a casual-chic outfit.

"I often wear black tights, I think they always bring a sense of sophistication into an outfit.
These black lace tights were a nice change to black opaque tights, and prevent the outfit from being a bit too sober. It made this outfit the perfect transitional look spring.
I am definitely looking forward to wearing more lace throughout the summer and it sure looks like it is the go-to material for a feminin vibe."
