Leg Avenue Seamless Chantilly Lace Crop Top and Footless Tights

Chantilly lace is the fine, floral, slightly old-world kind, and running it seamlessly through a crop top and footless tights is a genuinely clever idea. The pattern does all the work, and there is not a seam anywhere to interrupt it.

Worn together, the two pieces read as one continuous lace line from shoulder to ankle. Worn apart, the crop top layers over a bra or under an open shirt, and the footless tights go with heels, boots, or nothing at all. Black lace is the most useful version of this to own, because it sits next to everything else in the drawer without argument. Pull the tights up from the ankle rather than the waist so the lace pattern stays even, then hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Lace usually arrives as a trim on the edge of something else. Here it is the entire fabric, in a seamless knit, which is the difference between lace as decoration and lace as the garment.
