The pretty trend has been spotted on fashion people all over the globe, and has been a favorite among celebs (hello, Hailey Bieber and Zendaya). As we enter the warmer months, we're seeing lace-trim shorts and skirts dominate—a chic and elevated alternative to your denim shorts this summer.

If you've already invested in a pair, great! If not, I'm sharing plenty of chic styles for you to lean into the trend. Now, all that's left is styling those silky slinky shorts and skirts.
