Lace-Trimmed Skirts and Dresses Are Everywhere—Here's How I'm Styling Them for Fall
Whether worn with a sporty jacket or a chic blazer, this charming trend is beyond versatile.
Summer styles are swiftly giving way to fall fashion, and honestly, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Nothing makes me happier than the thought of wearing autumn classics like soft sweaters, oversized blazers, and sturdy jackets. Of course, I’m also excited to explore some of the season's most anticipated trends, especially lace-trimmed skirts and dresses!
Yes, lace is back, and I'd go as far as to say that it never really left. What I love most about this delicate look is that it can be worn in many ways. A couple of weeks ago during Copenhagen Fashion Week, I spotted countless lace-inspired street style outfits. Many of them were quite subtle, proving that the lace trend doesn’t have to be overdone.
Eager to incorporate lace into my own fall wardrobe, I’ve put together a few easy outfits that I can’t wait to wear as we transition into the chillier months. Ahead, discover how I’m styling my favorite lace-trimmed pieces—from embroidered satin dresses to romantic slip skirts.
Let’s have some fun with lace!
Layer Up
With this outfit, it’s all about playing with proportions.
Since I love layering, I plan to wear this asymmetrical lace-trimmed dress alongside an oversized sweater and a pair of tailored trousers (inspired by Look #3 from The Row’s Spring 2025 collection). A lace dress makes slacks and a pullover—a rather ordinary look—feel far more dynamic. Kitten heels and a spacious bag compliment this outfit perfectly.
Sporty-Chic Style
This unexpected pairing works so well.
Put a sporty spin on a lace-trimmed skirt with a cozy zip-up sweatshirt. It's the perfect everyday look, especially if you’d like to experiment with lace without feeling too formal. This is the kind of outfit I’ll wear while shopping around London or going to lunch with friends. As for accessories, consider sharp heels, a slouchy bag, and polished earrings.
On the Dot
Double up on trends.
This skirt embodies two fall trends that I absolutely adore: lace and polka dots. To balance out this statement-making piece, I’ve paired it with a white top and a black leather jacket. Cherry red shoes and a pendant shell necklace add a playful touch.
