I wear jeans almost every day, and so when a denim styling trick comes along that feels fresh and fashion-forward, I'm the first one to take note. As someone who looks at a lot of fashion outfits on Instagram as well as street style imagery, there's one buzzy outfit formula I've been spotting on the fashion set this season that I truly cannot wait to try for myself: The nifty combination of jeans, a top, with a game changing third layer: a lace trimmed satin slip skirt or dress layered over the jeans.
The outfit can be traced back to The Row's spring/summer 2025 collection, where a white lace slip skirt was layered over jeans and finished with an oversize gray crewneck sweater—resulting in a pretty layer of fabric peeking out from beneath the sweater—adding freshness and femininity to an otherwise basics-heavy outfit. Its influence has been undeniable on the fashion set—especially spotted on the Copenhagen street style crew, who have created plenty of iterations on the outfit formula.
Ready to try the styling trick for yourself? While the temps are still warm, style an oversize tee over a lace-trimmed satin slip dress or skirt, and let the cascading lace hemline waft over your jeans. When the temps get cooler, you can swap out the tee for a sweater or another relaxed top, such as a denim blouse. Whatever iteration you choose, you're guaranteed to look on-trend wearing the cool styling trick this season.
