I love lace clothing. It doesn’t matter what season, a lace blouse or lace accented dress is always feminine and sophisticated. Those adjectives generally don’t come to mind when I think about shorts. But shorts can be more than just for the gym or lounging around the house. Lace shorts are a classy and sexy way to do shorts. If you pair them with strappy heels and a silk blouse, you’re ready for a night out. Worn with a t-shirt and flat sandals, you are casually chic for the weekend. For less than a quarter of the price, the Vince Camuto shorts are 100% cotton, but are less fitted and have a full lace overlay. The Alice + Olivia shorts have more seaming, an exposed back zipper, and embroidered lace. The more intricate details and the quality of the lace probably explains the substantial price difference. Whichever pair you choose, your summer wardrobe will have a decidedly pretty addition. Left – Vince Camuto – $79 Right – Alice + Olivia – $385
