Here's How Fashion People Are Styling This Summer's Prettiest Skirt Trend


I'm a sucker for a pretty trend. If lace, silk, chiffon, bows, and ruffles are involved, it's very likely going straight into my cart. My latest obsession is lace skirts—a trend which gained momentum last summer thanks to the rise of sheer styles on the runway. This summer, there are thankfully no signs of the trend slowing down. Whether it comes sheer in a maxi silhouette or trimmed on a silky slip skirt, the fashion set can't get enough of the pretty lace styles for the warmer months, adding an alluring touch to any look.
So, what's the coolest way to style them this summer? Keep scrolling below as I share some chic pieces I've noticed the fashion set wear time and time again with lace skirts. From flip-flops to graphic tees, these items below are the perfect match to make your lace skirt feel fresh and fashion-forward. And of course, shop all our favorite lace skirts out there right now for summer.
With a Graphic Tee
Give the elegant skirt a casual spin and opt for a contrasting, cool graphic tee in a relaxed silhouette to effortlessly fall below your hips.
With a Polo Top
A knit polo adds a sporty-chic vibe to a sweet lace skirt. Have fun with patterns, colors, and prints for a fresh take.
With a Basic Cami Top
Sleek and simple—a basic camisole top in a block color such as black, brown, or white will add a minimalist '90s touch to your pretty lace skirt.
With a Relaxed Tee
One of the easiest pieces to throw on with your lace skirt this summer? A basic oversize tee that will effortlessly fall over your skirt. Super simple. Incredibly stylish.
With Flip-Flops
A lace skirt is perfect for a casual daytime look when paired with simple flip-flops. The ideal way to dress down the elegant fabric.
With Slingbacks
If you want to dress up your lace skirt, then opt for chic slingback flats or kitten heels. Finish the look with a blazer for an outfit that will take you from day-to-night in style.
With an Oversize Button-Down
An oversize button-down shirt is a chic piece to style with your lace skirt. Whether you opt for a mini or maxi, it will add just the right dose of effortless elegance.
