This season everyone is buzzing about texture, specifically Jacquard. So what exactly is jacquard? It refers to fabrics with intricately woven patterns and colors. Some varieties include brocade and damask, both of which are generally more popular during the fall and winter seasons. But for Spring 2013, these luxe, intricate threads lightened up and went metallic, for a modern take on this antique textile.
You can keep it traditional with black and gold or tone on tone metallic florals. Try investing in a jacquard jacket to wear with a pencil skirt at work and skinny jeans over the weekend. I love jacquard, especially for evening wear, because these dresses typically have a bit of weight and heft to them, which helps smooth the lines of the silhouette.
Just one piece of jacquard will do. Or stick with a tonal pattern. A modern twist with neons and mix of floral patterns gives jacquard an updated look. Be sure not to go overboard and pattern it up from head to toe. You don’t want to end up looking like a Victorian curtain.
