Lace traditionally embodies an overtly feminine aesthetic, but recently the fabric has become much more wearable, casual, and even edgy. For summer, it has showed up on everything from maxi-dresses, to crop tops and shorts, amplified by modern accents like scalloped edges or laser cutouts. No longer reserved for girlish glamour, the trend now takes on a more subversive vibe. Take a cue from Kate Bosworth, who rocked a head-to-toe white lace look at this season’s Coachella festivities. Minimally accessorized with ankle boots and aviators, the style muse looks equal parts boho and nouveau. Shop my favourite summer ready pieces below.

Spring runways saw an array of cutouts this season, baring midriffs, shoulders, and lower backs at the likes of Charlotte Ronson, Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. The style showcases subtle pieces of skin through mesh knits, loose silks and sheer overlays: see Ronson’s breezy surfer inspired collection below. To get the look, imbue your wardrobe with soft pieces like this flirty dress from Suno, or Nasty Gal’s relaxed knit sweater. Even accessories have taken to the trend, especially on shoes. I love Elizabeth and James’ cutout booties for summer – they will look great paired with shorts, white jeans or sundresses.

With SXSW kicking off the festival circuit this past week in Austin and Coachella’s double-header festivities a few weeks away, it’s time to start thinking about festival season. Depending on where you’re headed, the weather can be slightly tumultuous: sunny days and chilly nights in the Gorge at Sasquatch, blistering heat in Palm Springs at Coachella, and humid days in Montreal at Osheaga all call for layered looks.
I love Free People’s easy embellished basics – somehow the label manages to make jersey tees and skirts look flattering and unique. Paired with a few great accessories, they can go a long way.
Ikat is another big print this season, which fits in nicely with the festival theme. Be sure to take an anorak or poncho, plus a scarf and boots to combat evening chills or double as a picnic blanket, barrier for mud, etc. Peruse my picks below to prep you (rain or shine!) for some bohemian clad adventures and seriously awesome tunes.
1. ASOS Western Heeled Ankle Boots, $49
2. Free People Scrunch Skirt and Easy Breezy Tee, $39 and $60
3. TNA Otago Blouse, $75, available at Aritzia
4. Ora Bags The Stevie, $275
5. Aldo Brigida Sandals, $60
6. Karen Walker Super Duper Sunglasses, $255, available at Aritzia
7. Free People Ikat Short, $84
8. ASOS Heart Shaped Glasses, $21
9. Zara Combination Trilby with Navajo Band, $26
10. Minkpink Shawl, $103, available at Shopbop

Tartan has shown up repeatedly this Fall on everything from scarves to leggings, but Karl Lagerfeld’s spin on Scotland’s style for Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 has influenced this season’s wares beyond the nation’s print. The Kaiser ensconced his models in chunky knits and lavish tweeds, dominated by innovative Fair Isle, tartan and argyle pairings.
To channel this look, forego the less-is-more adage, and iterate Lagerfeld’s insouciant approach to excess: luxe fabrics, like Zara’s pearl embellished velvet jacket, gilt costume jewelry and texturized knits all make fine pairings for the lavish look.
