Outfit ideas

Boots · Gucci

I would play with texture and make it kind of casual by pairing it with a cozy sweater, black tights and low heeled or wedge boots.

I could also see it with a colored turtleneck and heels.

Suasoria · Chanel

I'd have to see it IRL but for casual stuff I wear mine (old Ann Taylor, black lace over nude overlay, a-line style, just above the knee) with either a white beater or black cap-sleeve tee; either flat black patent t-straps, black ballet flats, or red heeled MJs. With that I sometimes wear a fitted denim jacket (more like a blazer, really) or a camel crewneck classic cardigan that works well with the nude lining.

I have also worn a nice white button-front shirt with the sleeves rolled up and sometimes a chain belt on top of that.

I have a fine-knit, fitted but not tight, scoop-neck black pullover sweater that looks good with it. That can take it to cocktail wear almost.

I like the idea of tights and flat boots, like the ones Boots posted, a suede riding boot, that kind of thing. I'm not sure about anything too heavy/thick on top. Lace is so delicate that it's tough not to look top-heavy.

Anyway I'm looking forward to other replies because I tend to wear mine with a lot of basics, I guess!

I'll have to try it with a more cozy sweater. I can only seem to come up with really simple ideas. I want to try something a little more unexpected. Although I'm sure I will play with all the simple ideas too. Can always change it up with a wide belt or layer necklaces.
