This Once-Dated Trend Is Going to Be Everywhere This Fall—28 Editor-Approved Finds to Add to Your Cart

Lace is timeless and classic. It never goes out of style, but it hasn't felt particularly fresh—until recently. Over the last year, slip skirts have emerged as one of the key buys among the fashion set, who have been styling the staple with everything from tailored outerwear to pastel button-down shirts. For summer 2025, lace-trimmed satin shorts quickly rose to cult status as one of the most in-demand pieces of the season. Dôen's Iona Shorts, specifically, were one of the most viral designer and nearly impossible to add to your cart until a recent restock that likely stemmed from the high demand. Rest assured that you can still order the buzzy shorts, at least for now.
Looking ahead to fall 2025, we're expecting to see even more lace. On the runways, we saw everything from dramatic gothic gowns at Alexander McQueen to Victorian ruffled tops at Ralph Lauren to bohemian multitiered dresses at Chloé. For the upcoming season, lace will tap into a sense of other-era romance and usher the delicate fabric back to the forefront of fashion. Ahead, shop our edit of the best lace fashion items to add to your cart.
