Absolutely, you can sport your lace-trim shorts this fall, but only if you style them in this particular way.

      Although the drop in temperature may suggest it's time to swap for pants, don't rush to put away the lace-trimmed shorts (whether satin, silk, or cotton) you purchased over the summer, like the popular Iona shorts from Dôen or the Stratus shorts from J.Crew. Hailey Bieber has recently demonstrated how these chic yet sexy shorts can seamlessly transition into fall and even winter. During her attendance at the Saint Laurent S/S 26 show in Paris last night, Bieber donned bright yellow satin shorts with a white lace trim. She paired them with an orange half-zip pullover jacket, black sheer tights, and red strappy mule heels. Instead of going for conventional fall staples like a chunky sweater or a long coat, it was the surprising combination of tights and the sporty jacket that set her lace-trimmed shorts ensemble apart. The soft, delicate shorts beautifully contrasted with the edgy, technical look of the jacket, while the tights offered both warmth and added visual interest.

      Feeling inspired to replicate Bieber's look? Keep scrolling to shop the best sporty jackets, lace-trim shorts, sheer tights, and open-toe heels—because yes, in fall 2025, we’re styling open-toe shoes with tights.
