Every season seems to have that standout trend, and for fall 2025, it’s all about lace. This extensive trend was prominently featured on the F/W 25 runways of Saint Laurent and Chloé, appearing as lace trims on dresses or slip skirts, ruffled lace blouses like the one Elsa Hosk recently sported, or even sheer lace dresses. Lace brings a romantic vibe, making pieces adorned with it feel reminiscent of what you’d find in a well-curated vintage store. While assembling the looks for The Great Try-On, we found that styling lace was particularly enjoyable, and the outfits worn by our editors Aniyah, Audry, and Tara showcase that fun. Scroll down to see three stylish ways to wear lace and read all about (and shop) the lace pieces they're showcasing.
First up is our branded content editor Aniyah, who donned one of Reformation's most talked-about items of 2025: the lace-trimmed midi slip skirt. Read her thoughts on the skirt and discover how to style it for fall.
Aniyah's perspective on the lace piece: "I've quickly become enamored with the current lace trend. Lace camisoles, lace miniskirts, lace dresses over pants—I want to try it all! This time, I styled this satin lace midi skirt from Reformation, and I couldn’t leave the set without it. It falls just below the knee, making it easy to pair with boots, flats, or slip-on mules. I have many satin skirts, but none feel as luxurious as this one. It's one of those delicate pieces I wish to take care of so I can wear it for years to come. I enjoy layering soft and romantic items with edgier materials for a conscious contrast, as shown above with the black leather jacket and shoes."
Styling suggestions: Give a lace slip skirt an edgy twist by pairing it with a black leather jacket, V-neck sweater, and flat slip-on mules (a significant F/W 25 shoe trend). If you thought this piece was just for summer, think again—this outfit proves otherwise.
Shop the skirt: Reformation Lace Trim Silk Midi Skirt ($218)Not all lace items are made alike, and Reformation's 100% silk slip skirt is as luxurious as they come, which is why the brand has consistently released it in various colors throughout 2025. But we believe you can’t go wrong with the classic ivory version.

Wearing a dress-like piece over pants is one of the top outfit trends of 2025, and a lace-trimmed chemise is perfect for achieving that look. Below, check out the stylish interpretation of this budget-friendly Lauren Ralph Lauren chemise from our associate shopping editor, Audry.
Audry's take on the lace piece: "This $60 Double Strap Lace Chemise from Lauren Ralph Lauren feels incredibly elegant. Lace is everywhere this fall—featured on runways from Chloé to Saint Laurent—and I adore the romantic vibe it brings. Personally, I’ve always been drawn to items that blur the boundaries between sleepwear and everyday clothing (like wearing my nightgowns outside), so this trend resonates with me."
Styling advice: Pairing lovely sleepwear with more street-friendly pieces is crucial for making it work in public. The black satin pants and heels add an elegant touch to the romantic lace-trimmed chemise ensemble.
Shop the chemise: Lauren Ralph Lauren Double Strap Lace Chemise ($60)The asymmetrical lace trim and double straps give the chemise an upscale appearance. Even when layered with a blazer or bomber jacket, the lace remains visible, which is a feature we appreciate about this item.
