Chic Neutral Broderie
Elegant, classic, and feminine, the broderie anglaise dress can go casual when teamed with a pair of flat mules, just like it can become dressy when you pair it with high heels and a clutch like the Duchess of Cambridge, who loves to wear this cutout lace during spring and summer.

Rock Vibes
Give the fresh broderie anglaise dress a rock’n’roll feel by pairing it with black leather boots and a pair of sunnies like German influencer Caro Daur, or a military style jacket and a black leather belt like French model AymelineValade. A modern take on the classic sundress.
