People With Pretty Style Are Already Wearing This Vintagey Fall Dress Trend in L.A.

Believe it or not, one of the most prominent themes on the F/W 25 runways was lingerie—lingerie that's more classy than risqué, that is. Many of the boudoir-inspired looks that graced the runways of Chloé and Miu Miu (among others) were elegant and had a cool-girl vintage quality about them. Specifically, one of the trends to stem from this fall aesthetic is lace-trimmed dresses. Think of silky nightgowns that you can wear outside. And one of the early adopters of the trend is Kaia Gerber, who just wore a black dress in this style to dinner with Karlie Kloss in Malibu. I wouldn't say the trend is all that surprising, given the popularity of lace-trimmed skirts and lace-trimmed shorts this year, but the dress trend feels fresh nonetheless.
Something I think we can all agree on is that L.A. girls love a pretty dress trend, and Gerber, whose style I would describe as pretty, is likely to inspire many others to start shopping for a lace-trimmed dress of their own. She opted for a short-sleeve black midi dress adorned with white lace trim and a black bow at the bust, which she paired with her go-to white Repetto ballet pumps. Another It girl, Bella Hadid, also recently wore a nightgown-inspired Mango dress in L.A., and yet another L.A. It girl, Devon Lee Carlson, just wore a pretty lace-trimmed dress of her own to celebrate her birthday. All signs point to lace-trimmed lingerie dresses being one of the biggest trends of the season. Keep scrolling to shop one for yourself.
