Since ancient times, lace clothing has been considered especially exquisite. All ladies dreamed of a dress trimmed with woven patterns, but only the wealthiest representatives of the aristocracy could afford it.

Modern fashionistas are luckier: lace materials are still in fashion, and everyone can afford to wear such luxury. Today they are used to make collars, blouses, and dresses. Skirts deserve special attention.
Every woman can afford a lace skirt. Stereotypes that such things are only suitable for young romantic ladies are a thing of the past. Although this openwork fabric still has the ability to add dreaminess, naivety and innocence to the image. But in general, its functions have expanded significantly.
In the 21st century, a lace skirt can be not only cute, but also daring, seductive, defiant, sporty, militaristic... It all depends on what to combine it with. With a polo and sneakers you will get one look, with a biker jacket - another, with a denim shirt - a third. And each one will look no less attractive than the usual romantic one.
Fashion trends
Lace is a light openwork fabric, it consists of many small and large perforated patterns. Initially, clothes made from this material were worn by girls who wanted to emphasize their youth and innocence. But modern trends have introduced many variations in trim, drapery and cut. Today, lace skirts can be safely worn by women of all ages in everyday life, as well as when going to work or on a date.
In fashion magazines and on catwalks you can see skirts that are made entirely of lace or decorated with it. Depending on the location of the openwork inserts, the figure is adjusted. Coarsely woven patterns (krushe) will add volume to the hips. For plump girls, it is better to choose Venetian or Irish openwork, which is draped over thick fabric. If a woman wants to emphasize her waist, a model with a lace peplum is offered.
The most popular is French lace, which designers place along the hem of the skirt. A pencil skirt with lace sewn on the bottom elongates the silhouette and coquettishly hides the legs.
Lace skirts are made in various styles. For the classic version, thin guipure is selected; for an urban look, models with large knitting are appropriate. Venetian or French lace is used for wedding or evening dresses. Large hand crochet is popular in beach fashion. In ethnic clothing, a combination of cambric and Irish or ribbon openwork is used.
Who should wear a lace skirt?
The lace skirt, despite its bewitching appearance, is suitable for all representatives of the fair sex. It doesn’t matter what type of figure, height and style a fashionista has, a lace skirt will emphasize the necessary advantages, and thanks to its elegant pattern it will hide too prominent shapes. You can choose any style of lace skirt. If you are a slender and long-legged beauty, then your choice is a short mini with lace inserts at the bottom. For ladies with a classic figure, a full lace pencil skirt is best suited. And for women with plus-size figures, a lace circle skirt would be an ideal option. A lace skirt is a must-have item for every fashionista. All you have to do is choose the right top and shoes.
Popular styles
The style of the model is selected depending on the characteristics of the girl’s figure and height. Full skirts hide full legs and hips well, and straight cuts are suitable for slender women. You should also consider the location of the lace on the fabric. The most popular options:
- A godet or “fishtail” is a long lace skirt that flares out from the knees or mid-calf. The delicate lace at the bottom looks beautiful. This model has a translucent top, a short flesh-colored lining, and a deep slit. Suitable for girls with curvy figures, it will highlight beautiful hips and a thin waist.
- The sun is the most popular option, which is made entirely of lace fabric. A combination of leather and sheer hem is also often used. A fluffy skirt looks good on slender young girls with long legs.
- Half-sun is a fluffy option without lining. Most often, the lower part is decorated with thin lace.
- Pencil - the tight-fitting model is the most popular, so it comes in a lot of finishing options (hem, belt, sides, neckline, peplum). A lace white pencil skirt will add volume to your hips.
- A-line - the winter version is completely covered with large lace; for summer, a light skirt made of French openwork is selected. Patterned inserts on the sides, on the belt or below look interesting. Suitable for girls with voluminous hips.
- Tulip - most often made entirely of lace or has a hem trimmed with guipure. A fluffy skirt is suitable for tall girls who want to emphasize their waist or adjust their T-silhouette.
Skirts with an extended back part have already lost their relevance this season. Tight-fitting wrap models and asymmetrical cuts are popular. Designers also suggest choosing a long translucent fabric up to the shin and short shorts underneath. For an evening look, you can choose a short version with thin fringe.

Skirts made of multi-colored lace are not so common. The fabric has complex patterns created using threads of different colors. But this option can also be chosen as an alternative.
Length selection
Miniskirts with lace are suitable for young girls with ideal parameters and beautiful legs. Curvy models are good for an everyday look, and a tight-fitting version will be appropriate for a party. To complement a stylish wardrobe, it is better to choose closed tops, low-heeled shoes, sneakers, slip-ons, and sneakers.

The maxi length hides uneven legs, adds height, gives femininity and elegance. A tight-fitting model is suitable for slender girls, an a-line style or a floor-length skirt will fit well on a pear figure.

Styles and materials
Which style is more appropriate for your figure? For a lady with curvy hips, a trapezoidal shape and a half-sun shape are more suitable. For plus size girls, stylists also recommend floor-length models with a semi-fitting silhouette. If your figure is slim, you should pay attention to short models. Just keep in mind that miniskirts are popular at proms, holiday parties and other special events. The optimal style for most women is medium length and dark shades.
If we talk about materials, in the off-season the most popular models are jeans in a classic blue shade. White denim complemented with contrasting inserts looks elegant and bright. In the summer, products made from chintz, silk, viscose, linen and cotton are more relevant. In combination with lace, skirts look especially attractive.
Colors and design
The most popular this season are achromatic skirts with lace at the bottom. Black or gray color is suitable for work, everyday wear, and walking around the city. The white bottom looks festive and flirty, suitable for dates and parties. For a daytime look, it is suggested to choose a palette of pastel shades; for the evening, it is better to prefer burgundy, emerald, and purple models made of fine openwork.
Neon-colored skirts made of elastic guipure lost their relevance a few seasons ago. If a girl wants to stand out, it is better to choose scarlet or soft pink fabric.
Design options for skirts with lace:
- Business style. Models suitable for work are most often straight cut; thin lace can be located both throughout the skirt and in individual inserts.
- Casual. For everyday wear, designers offer two-layer models. Large lace is mainly used, with floral or geometric motifs.
- Ethnomotives. The design of such skirts uses large crocheted lace. Clothing can be made entirely of translucent material or have horizontal inserts along the hem.
- Boho. This option can often be seen on city streets. Summer skirts are made from light knitted lace, made in two layers (the top layer is translucent), and several horizontal stripes are added. Often patterns of different sizes and designs are combined on one canvas.
- Romantic style. Such a lace skirt should be light, delicate and modest. Lush models made of silk, satin, knitwear are completely covered with openwork or French lace.
For a business option, it is better to prefer discreet models without unnecessary details, for example, a black skirt with lace. In boho or ethnic, fringe, tassels, colored patterns, and knitted elements are additionally used. Models in a romantic style can be decorated with bows, satin ribbons, wide belts, and chiffon.

Such different lace
If previously lace was firmly associated with underwear, now it has become a trendy decor for any clothing. Every lover of delicate and romantic looks should add a skirt with lace to her wardrobe. There are options even for business ladies!
Finishing options. In 2021, you will plunge into a real variety of lace models - skirts with lace at the bottom, trimmed with lace along the entire length, and even revealing translucent products.
Lace trim at the bottom of the skirt is considered a more discreet option. In this case, the lace strips will differ in transparency and width. For example, if the lining is mini length and the lace reaches the knee.
But this does not mean that full-length lace is not one of the trends of the season. When skillfully combined with other things, you can create stylish everyday looks. Skirts can also be decorated with other lace inserts, for example, on pockets or a belt.
Idea! You can decorate the most ordinary skirt with lace yourself by simply trimming it from the bottom. This finish will certainly add some zest to your look.
Lace texture . Not only the models of skirts differ, but also the lace on them - this directly determines how the skirt will fit on you. It consists of threads woven into different patterns. The lace created from thick threads will be voluminous and embossed - for example, crocheted. Be careful with it if you don't want to gain a few inches on your thighs.
And thin cotton threads will create lace that will sit on your body like a second skin. This type of lace is called Venetian lace. Also note the lace with Irish motifs. It is made in the form of non-trivial patterns and looks very original. Patterns can also be floral, ribbon, geometric.
The degree of transparency of the lace will depend on the texture of the lace and the density of the patterns - how much your legs will be illuminated outside the lining.
Fashionable colors. The permanent classic for such skirts is black and white. They will become a basic item for any wardrobe and create many versatile looks. White skirts can create a playful translucent effect if the lining is in a nude shade. Wine or dark blue colors are also suitable for evening options.
Stylish option
In summer, bright options are also popular - blue, pink, purple, green skirts. But remember that such catchy colors are more difficult to combine with the rest of your wardrobe. There is also multi-colored lace, created with threads of different colors - it forms extraordinary patterns.
Important! Don't forget that lace along the entire length of the skirt can add volume to the hips. Especially in light colors - white, beige, soft pink, etc. For curvy figures, the best option would be black models.
In skirts with lace at the bottom, you can experiment with color combinations. It is in this version that lace can be made to match the skirt, or can play in contrast.

Combination of textures
Lace on skirts is used in different qualities, materials, and widths. For the autumn-spring period, you need to choose double models with a thick fabric lining, ribbon weaving or openwork crochet. In summer, it is better to wear light material (chiffon, cambric) with translucent inserts. For the beach, you can choose Bruges lace, which is made of large elements.
Materials with which lace is combined:
- Batiste is a dense and lightweight material that goes well with thin horizontal lace inserts.
- Knitwear - can be used as a base or lining for a skirt that is completely decorated with lace.
- Satin - the fabric does not wrinkle and does not electrify, suitable for making evening skirts.
- Silk - combined with translucent fabric, which is trimmed with thin and small patterns.
- Jeans are an interesting combination of rough denim texture and soft translucent hem.
The most daring combination is considered to be lace and leather. A black, beige or white skirt is decorated with thin ribbons. Young girls with slender legs are recommended to choose curvy styles, and for business ladies, a straight cut or a pencil skirt made of thick lace is suitable.

The nuances of creating a fashionable look
A skirt with lace is a very feminine and cute wardrobe item. Therefore, stylists recommend diluting such a bottom with something rough. For example, a denim jacket, an oversized sweater, or a biker jacket are ideal for everyday wear. For work or study, choose a strict item of clothing - a white or black jacket with a straight cut. The romantic style look is complemented by a thin cardigan and jacket.
You cannot combine several lace items in one look. The top should be neutral, made with minimal decor and trim. An exception is the evening set, which includes an openwork top and a silk skirt with lace.
There are several fashion rules for what to wear with a lace pencil skirt. For example, a light chiffon blouse or a shirt in achromatic shades is ideal for a guipure bottom. If you use a pajama-style satin tank, you need to wear a jacket on top.
Shoes to match the look in a lace skirt must be selected depending on the style. Pumps, stiletto sandals, and ballet flats are suitable for a tight model. Low shoes (oxfords, brogues, loafers) are combined with midi or maxi length. You can safely wear sneakers, slip-ons or sneakers under short or fluffy skirts in a casual style.
Jewelry should be selected with caution; it is better to abandon it altogether or leave a thin chain around your neck. The bag should be small; you can take a clutch with a long handle or a leather backpack. Tights in fishnets, with patterns or in bright shades overload the look. It is better to choose thin black or beige nylon stockings.
What to wear with a lace skirt depending on the length
Length greatly influences the image. Now many people prefer medium-length models. Such options look very feminine, elegant and aristocratic, both as part of everyday style and as part of a festive outfit.
