Trend Alert: Unapologetically Sheer Lace Skirts


The lace trend is at its strongest in the recent years, and it looks like it's not waning anytime soon with yet another fashion must-have making its rounds. This time, the oh-so-chic community of fashion bloggers are going short with their skirt linings and going long on the sheer lace skirt trend. Mostly making use of guipure lace (or lace without the mesh), the trend has found yet another way to strengthen its hold in the fashionista circles. Here are five looks we pulled:


1. Sporty Chic

With the racerback silhouette making a huge comeback with the lingering Isabel Marant sporty fashion craze, it is no surprise that some bloggers would think of mashing up the trend with the romantic lace. Pull out a stark white outfit with a lace skirt, cropped racerback top and a blazer (in case it's still chilly). Finish the look with nude, white and gold accessories to maintain the crispness of the outfit.

2. Casual Stud

We love this casual outfit because it can take you from the office to a dinner out with friends. This outfit is comfortable yet still pulled together enough to work in, and is absolutely brimming with chicness - enough to meet your night life's standards. Give your casual ribbed sweater that extra oomph with a sheer lace skirt and studded pointed toe shoes. Polish the look off with earthy accessories.

We love the dramatic flair accompanying the black crop-top-and-lace-combo in this look (see huge furry coat above and the over-the-top accessories below). Go casual with a simple black top or a bit more sophisticated with a lace one. Play around with chunky, attention-calling gold accessories to create this perfect vixen look.

4. Spring Fling

This may not be lace (it's organza, to be precise) but it made our list anyway because pretty much follows the shorter lining skirt trend. More importantly, how cute is that floral print? Pair the skirt with a white cropped top, oversized braided hat, and some earth-tone accessories, and you're ready to go head-to-head with spring's prettiest blooms.

5. The Artist

We love how absolutely creative this look is - it not only played with the print-on-print trend but it also experimented with combining various textures. The look went absolutely nuts that it actually made sense, which we absolutely adore. Wear the lace skirt with a printed sweater and, most importantly, go all out crazypants on the accessories. The funkier, the more pulled together your outfit will be.
