We’ve had snake print, leopard print, satin and denim galore. Making a last minute entrance to our spring wardrobe but set to stay for summer is the broderie anglaise trend.
It incorporates embroidery, cutwork and needle lace to make delicate and romantic pieces that are both lightweight and effortless. Think of a more structured and everyday way of wearing lace.
Originally popular in the 1800s in childrenswear, it made a return during the 1950s and is re-emerging thanks to the great British high street.
These are 10 ways to wear this summer’s most romantic fashion trend.
