A lace top is one of those pieces that requires a bit of thought about what’s underneath it and rewards that thought completely. The right layer beneath, a silk camisole, a fitted bandeau, changes the modesty and the look entirely. We love lace in both the more delicate floral versions and the bolder geometric patterns. These are the lace tops that are constructed well enough to look like deliberate outerwear rather than something borrowed from lingerie. The distinction matters and we’ve found the ones that nail it.
