Typically an integral part of spring dressing, skirts are reimagined each year—with statement styles of all kinds taking center stage this season. The latest crop, by designers like Saint Laurent, Prada, and Stella McCartney, puts the focus on the romantic, lacy slip skirt—a top fashion trend for spring 2026. Despite their lingerie-inspired look and feel, these sultry staples aren’t limited to the boudoir—they work just as well in the boardroom.
Vogue’s Favorite Lace-Trimmed Slip Skirts:
Need proof? Look to the recent street style scene, where showgoers styled their lace-trimmed skirts with everything from chic cashmere sweaters and cropped trench coats to funnel-neck leather jackets and sleek loafers. Or wear yours over pants with thong sandals—a styling trick from last season with serious staying power. Either way, the result is a perfect juxtaposition of daintiness and edge.
Looking ahead to summer, the slip skirt pairs seamlessly with simple extras, like a white tank and kitten heels—perhaps even paired over a little black bikini. Its romantic sensibility also offsets more textural pieces, from raffia bags and woven sandals to shell necklaces—a Vogue-editor favorite.
As for how to style it now? Keep reading for nine lace-trimmed slip skirt outfits that will add a delicate touch to your everyday wardrobe.
Bedroom to Boardroom
Channel Vogue’s most ardent minimalist, Madeline Fass, in Staud’s asymmetrical lace slip skirt. For office hours, pair it with J.Crew’s slight V-neck knit, polished white pumps from Phoebe Philo, and Tory Burch’s tailored blazer, tied coolly at the waist. With summer on the horizon, finish the look with warm-weather accessories: Hereu’s netted tote and an embellished cord necklace.
The Layered Look
Layering a slinky slip skirt over tailored trousers was everywhere last spring—and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Here, turn to Carine Gilson’s lingerie-inspired style, paired with classic black trousers from Favorite Daughter. Add a plain white tank from Banana Republic and Theory’s khaki car coat, then finish with a python-effect flip-flop from Staud. Le Sundial’s choker brings an artful touch.
Pretty in Pink
Embrace one of the season’s hautest hues in Simone Rocha’s blush pink lace slip skirt. Contrast its daintiness with Galvan’s funnel-neck leather jacket in rich burgundy and Veronica Beard’s brown and blue striped button-up. Keep accessories sleek—think Andrea Gomez’s white ballet flats, Jil Sander’s minimalist handbag, and a pair of sporty shades from Miu Miu.
All-Over Lace
Don’t shy away from the semi-sheer lace skirt. The Frankie Shop’s sultry style strikes the perfect balance between sleek and sexy—especially when grounded with Zara’s cropped trench and a pair of Gucci kitten heels. Layer it over Carine Gilson’s satin tank for an all-over lace effect, then finish the look with Gigi Burris’s retro pillbox hat and A.Emery’s croc-embellished clutch.
Darling, Dainty, Demure
No brand does silky separates quite like Dôen—and this lace-trim midi is proof. In soft contrasting shades—powder white and peach, to be exact—it would look great with Kallmeyer’s chic gray cardigan and a cropped barn jacket from JW Anderson. A.Emery’s minimalist loafers ground the look, while Hunting Season’s raffia tote and a shell-adorned necklace from Tory Burch carry it seamlessly into summer.
Texture Tones
Spring dressing calls for texture—from festive fringe to elegant lace. Try the trend with Gwyn’s two-toned midi skirt, paired with Toteme’s crinkled tank in powder pink and Kallmeyer’s suede jacket. Lean into the personality-packed mix with red strappy sandals from Neous, Khaite’s python-effect east-west bag, and Lié Studio’s embellished cord necklace. It’s a look straight out of the Vogue Shopping playbook.
Runway to Reality
Balance the feminine whimsy of a pale pink Stella McCartney wrap skirt with sporty-inspired staples: Leset’s navy zip-up jacket, Kallmeyer’s striped tee, and Le Monde Beryl’s patent thong sandals. Reintroduce a sense of polish with The Row’s elegant Marcel tote and Laoli’s pendant necklace.
Back to Black
You’ll reach for Co’s lace-trimmed skirt in timeless black all spring—and well into summer. Balance its softness with slim white sneakers from Dries Van Noten and Kallmeyer’s scarf-adorned trench, while Bottega Veneta’s butter-yellow V-neck adds a welcome pop of color. Cos’s raffia tote brings in texture, while Jacques Marie Mage’s burgundy sunnies finish the look with a cool edge.
The Polka Dot Pick
Everyone’s embracing polka dots this spring—including contemporary favorite Rixo. Dress the skirt up for work or date night with Willy Chavarria’s patent leather jacket, Khaite’s kitten-heel pumps, and Tove’s sleek asymmetrical top. Savette’s slouchy tote pulls double duty—practical yet completely polished for any kind of 9-9.
