Fashion Trend: Lace
Lace is typically known for being delicate and romantic, but this year the trend is coming back with some edge and drama. From the runways to street style to your favorite boutiques, lace is stepping out of its “special occasion” box and into our everyday wardrobes.
The 2025 lace trend is moodier, edgier, and more wearable that the frilly looks of the past (although I still love the frilly look for the right occasion). Think sheer lace blouses with oversized blazers, lace-trimmed skirts paired with chunky knits, and lace pants styled with leather boots.
Ready to try the lace trend without looking like you’re wearing a tablecloth? Here are some of my favorite pieces, as well as tips for how to pull it off like a pro.

Lace Outfit Ideas for Women
Wondering how to wear or style the lace clothing trend? Here’s some inspiration for styling lace blouses, skirts, trousers, and more.
Layer with Satin
There’s something special about pairing lace with satin — in fact, satin pieces with lace are also trending right now. Pair a sheer lace turtleneck under a sleek slip dress for depth and texture. Pair it with neutral boots and a wide-brim hat for a chic fall-ready outfit that works for date night or weekend brunch.
Pair a Boho Lace Top With Denim
Pair a flowy cream lace top with wide-leg jeans to create that laid-back, “effortlessly stylish” vibe we all crave. The texture of the lace keeps it interesting, while the denim grounds the look. Add a structured bag and a cozy jacket, and you’re ready.
Balance the Sheerness with a Power Blazer
Lace can be a bit sexy or revealing, so pairing it with a structured, oversized blazer helps make it more wearable. A structured black blazer belted at the waist balances the sheer lace skirt for a bold, confident combo. The monochrome palette and minimal accessories keep it modern.
Make it Casual with a White Tee
Who says lace can’t be casual? Pair black lace pants with an oversized leather jacket and a simple white tee for the ultimate off-duty street-style moment. It’s edgy, comfortable, and on trend for 2025 and 2026.
