I Can't Stop Obsessing Over This Pretty Skirt Trend—20 of the Chicest to Style With Your Sweaters This Fall
I'm a sucker for a pretty trend. If there's lace, silk, chiffon, bows, or ruffles involved it's very likely going straight into my cart. My latest obsession is by no means a new invention but thanks to a whole host of cool celebs and well-dressed women on Instagram backing it, it's having a moment in the fashion spotlight (and I for one, couldn't be happier). The style in question is a lace-trimmed slip skirt. Pretty, feminine, and chic—it is the perfect piece to wear right now as we settle into fall. Whether you opt for a lace trimmed silky midi skirt in autumnal hues (such as Dôen's gorgeous Elowen Lace-Trimmed Silk-Charmeuse Midi Skirt), or a chic ivory or black mini skirt (such as J.Crew's Gwen Lace-Trim Slip Skirt in Textured Satin), it's going to give your outfit an elevated, eye-catching, and an alluring touch.
My rule to pulling off a pretty trend such as this without it coming off as too cutesy or saccharine is to offset it with something contrasting, such as a masculine blazer, oversize button-down, or my personal favorite—a sumptuously soft relaxed sweater. The two contrasting elegant textures make for one extremely chic fall outfit. Finish the look with kitten heels or leather knee-high boots once the weather starts cool.
I rounded up some of my favorite lace-trimmed slip skirts on the market right now that will unquestionably make your fall wardrobe chicer, as well as plenty of outfits featuring the trend to get you inspired.
Dôen's rich brown version will make for the perfect fall outfit.

I'll be styling it just like J.Crew's head of design, Olympia Gayot.
