Lace Cuffs to Update Your Summer Clothes

Anne Wright
Lace cuffs can update your summer clothes even if you can't afford a whole new wardrobe. This trend ranges from fine jewelry to inexpensive scraps of fabric and ribbon. These are 5 lace cuffs to help arm you for summer.

Venetian Lace Cuffs

These romantic flounced lace cuffs from the Victorian Trading Company will inspire you to start reciting Elizabethan sonnets. You can wear them to update your summer evening sweaters and keep them around for colder months. They feature elasticized wrists that you can conceal under your plain old sleeves. This pair of 6 inch lacey cuffs comes in ivory or antique. Starting in May, they'll also be available in black. ($24.95)

Vintage Embellished Lace Cuffs

Add a vintage look in rugged modern materials that will stand up to all your outdoor summer activities. Done in nylon, polyester, enamel and acrylic, this sheer lace cuff is embellished with faceted beads. You don't have to wait for a special occasion or cover up your tattoos. This cuff from Free People will dress up the simplest white tank top and shorts. ($38)

Hematine Beaded Lace Cuffs

Naturally, Etsy is a goldmine for finding affordable and lovely lace cuffs with over 1,800 styles to choose from. Try a netted lace Hematine cuff covered with beads and closed with a red ruby faceted glass bead. It's one inch wide with picot edging, and its soft design makes it very comfortable to wear. ($8)

Shaped Lace Cuffs

These plexiglass cuffs from Lily Gardner of London feature fine black Chantilly lace or a layer of silk for pink and blue variations. The delicate knotting on the roses is the highlight of this hand lace still created on an 18th century loom and hand finished. Send them your wrist size in centimeters to get a custom fitted piece. This large light cuff will look beautiful on bare summer arms with all your summer clothes. ($155.31)

Sterling Silver Lace Cuffs

This lacey silver cuff bracelet comes from Robert Lee Morris, best known for his collaborations with famous designers such as creating perfume bottles for Donna Karan. Made in the USA and crafted from sterling silver, this sleek cuff features a fluid lace motif with a discreet logo inside the cuff. It's about 7 inches long and 2 and a half inches wide. ($495)

These lace cuffs will update your summer clothes even if you're cutting back on shopping this year.
