# Stringed Party Dresses Pixie Market's Lace Up Cream Dress Fuses Edgy and Elegant Details By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-09-17 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-dress References: [pixiemarket](http://www.pixiemarket.com/lace-up-shoulder-dress.html) Pixie Market's Lace Up Cream Dress marries edgy and elegant design details. The chic and comfortable garment is ideal for a hot summer day and replaces sleeves with stringed elements that wrap around one's arms. With stringed garments gaining popularity in recent months -- Kim Kardashian has inspired more than one laced dress via her [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-gsnk) feed -- this cream dress embraces the fad in a less literal way. Rather than featuring a lace up chest detail, the frock is accented with stringed sleeves that can be adjusted for a desired fit. While this garment's shape is classically elegant, its laced elements give it an unexpected and edgy look that can be dressed down or paired with accessories for a more formal look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stringed Garments:** The trend of stringed garments is gaining popularity, creating opportunities for innovative designs that incorporate adjustable and customizable stringed elements. - **Edgy and Elegant Fusion:** The fusion of edgy and elegant design details presents an opportunity to create garments that combine unexpected and contrasting elements for a unique and versatile look. - **Lace Up Reimagined:** Reimagining the traditional lace-up detail by incorporating it into sleeves or other areas of the garment allows for creative reinterpretations that add a touch of sophistication and playfulness. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** The fashion retail industry can leverage the trend of stringed garments by offering a wide range of designs that incorporate adjustable and customizable stringed elements. - **Fashion Design:** In the field of fashion design, there are opportunities to create edgy and elegant fusion garments that combine unexpected and contrasting elements for a unique and versatile look. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of lace-up reimagined by creating complementary accessories such as belts, jewelry, or shoes that incorporate lace-up or stringed details. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Social Good Prairie Dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gwen-dress.md) - [Leopard Mini Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-mini-dresses.md) - [Dreamy Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection.md) - [Comfort-Focused Bridal Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearly-mini-dress.md) - [Inclusive Lace Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parade-that-lace.md) - [Romantic Summer-Ready Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich.md) - [Elegant Easy-to-Wear Shirt Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Simplistic Breathable Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-resort-collection.md)
