From London to L.A., This Pretty Trend Is Dominating Among the Best Dressed Women in Fashion
A few of my friends have been asking me what trends I recommend buying into this season now that warmer temperatures are ahead, and there's one style I keep mentioning again and again because it's chic and instantly says "fashion person." I'm talking about lace-trim styles.
The romantic trend had a major moment last summer, with those viral lace-trim Dôen shorts propelling the fabric to fame. This spring and summer, the lace-trim trend shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it's taking center stage, adding a pretty touch to everything from slip dresses and asymmetric skirts to pull-on pants and satin camisoles. With just one look at all the major retailers, you'll see the delicate trend is dominating. Not only have I been spotting lace-trim styles on all the coolest celebs (hello, Hailey Bieber and Zendaya), but I've also been seeing them on chic fashion people all over the globe, from London to L.A., Madrid to Copenhagen. The trend's reign can be attributed to its major presence on the spring/summer 2026 runways, where designers such as Celine, Chloé, and Stella McCartney adorned slip dresses, camisoles, and skirts with pretty lace details.
Whether you opt for a lace-trim slip dress, lace-trim shorts, or a lace-trim camisole, I'm sharing a variety of chic lace-trim styles for every budget that will keep you looking cool and current this season.
