Openwork patterns, translucent background and unusual texture made guipure one of the favorite materials of stylists. In such clothes, a girl looks light, feminine and fresh at any time of the year. A fashionable lace skirt can become part of a business, casual or romantic look. The main thing is to choose the right top, shoes and accessories.
Fashion trends
Lace is a light, openwork fabric, consisting of many small and large perforated patterns. Initially, clothes made of such material were worn by girls who wanted to emphasize their youth and innocence. But in modern trends, many variations of decoration, drapery and cut have appeared. Today, lace skirts can be safely worn by women of different ages in everyday life, as well as when going to work or on a date.
In fashion magazines and on the catwalks you can see skirts that are completely made of lace or decorated with it. Depending on the location of the lace inserts, the figure is adjusted. Large woven patterns (crushé) will add volume to the hips. Full girls should choose Venetian or Irish lace, which is thrown over thick fabric. If a woman wants to emphasize the waist, a model with a lace peplum is offered.
The most popular is considered to be French lace, which designers place on the hem of the skirt. A pencil skirt with lace sewn on the bottom stretches the silhouette and coquettishly hides the legs.
Lace skirts come in a variety of styles. For the classic version, thin guipure is selected; in the city image, models with large knitting are appropriate. For wedding or evening dresses, Venetian or French lace is used. Large hand crochet is popular in beach fashion. In ethnic style clothing, a combination of batiste and Irish or ribbon openwork is used.
Popular styles
The style of the model is selected depending on the features 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 are:
- Godet or "fishtail" - a long lace skirt that flares from the knees or mid-calf. The elegant lace at the bottom looks beautiful. This model has a translucent top and a short nude lining, a deep slit. It will suit girls with curvy shapes, emphasize 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 a transparent hem is also often used. A fluffy skirt looks good on slender young girls with long legs.
- Half-sun – a lush version without lining. Most often, the lower part is decorated with thin lace.
- Pencil - the most popular form-fitting model, so it is presented in a lot of trim options (hem, belt, side parts, 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 the summer a light skirt made of French openwork is selected. Patterned inserts on the sides, at the waist or at the bottom look interesting. Suitable for girls with voluminous hips.
- Tulip – most often made entirely of lace or has a hem trimmed with guipure. A full skirt will suit tall girls who want to emphasize their waist or correct a T-silhouette.
Skirts with an elongated back have already lost their relevance this season. Tight models with a wrap and asymmetrical cut are popular. Designers also suggest choosing a long translucent fabric to the shin and short shorts underneath. For an evening look, you can choose a shortened version with thin fringe.
Select length
Mini skirts with lace are suitable for young girls with ideal parameters and beautiful legs. The full models are good for everyday wear, while the tight version will be appropriate for a party. To complement a stylish wardrobe, it is better to choose a closed top, low-heeled shoes, sneakers, slip-ons, and trainers.
Lace skirts of midi or maxi length stretch the silhouette well, make you look slimmer, and help hide curvy hips. Short girls should pair them with high heels. Slender women can wear flat shoes. Depending on the quality of the lace, the skirt is worn in everyday life, for evening events, or in the office.
Maxi length hides uneven legs, adds height, and gives femininity and elegance. A tight-fitting model will suit slender girls, a trapezoidal style or a floor-length godet skirt will fit well on a pear-shaped figure. Long floor-length models with slits will coquettishly reveal beautiful legs and emphasize their slenderness. A train that goes down to the ankle is used in wedding or evening looks.
Colors and design
The most popular this season are achromatic skirts with lace at the bottom. Black or gray are suitable for work, everyday wear, walks around the city. White bottom looks festive and flirty, suitable for dates, 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, purple models made of thin 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 lace skirts:
- Business style. Models suitable for work, most often straight cut, thin lace can be located both throughout the skirt and in separate inserts.
- Casual. For everyday wear, designers offer two-layer models. The lace used is mainly large, with floral or geometric patterns.
- Ethnomotives. Large crocheted lace is used in the design of such skirts. The clothes 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 sewn from light knitted lace, made two-layer (the top layer is translucent), several horizontal stripes are added. Often, different patterns in size and execution 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 choose discreet models without unnecessary details, for example, a black skirt with lace. In boho or ethnic styles, fringe, tassels, colored ornaments, and knitted elements are additionally used. Models in a romantic style can be decorated with bows, satin ribbons, a wide belt, and chiffon.
Combination of textures
Lace on skirts is used in different quality, material, width. For the autumn-spring period, it is necessary to choose double models with a lining made of thick fabric, ribbon weaving or openwork crochet. In summer, it is better to wear light material (chiffon, batiste) with translucent inserts. For the beach, you can choose Bruges lace, which is made of large elements.
Materials that lace is combined with:
- 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 is a fabric that does not wrinkle or become electrified, and is 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 delicate translucent bottom.
The most daring combination is considered to be lace and leather. Black, beige or white skirts are decorated with thin ribbons. Young girls with slender legs are recommended to choose lush styles, and for business ladies, a straight cut or a pencil skirt made of thick lace will do.
The nuances of creating a fashionable image
A lace skirt 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 leather jacket are ideal for everyday wear. For work and study, a strict element of clothing is selected - a white or black straight-cut jacket. The image in a romantic style is complemented by a thin cardigan or jacket.
You can't combine several lace items in one look. The top should be neutral, made with minimal decor and trim. An exception is an 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 will perfectly match the guipure bottom. If you use a satin pajama-style T-shirt, you need to wear a jacket on top.
Shoes for a lace skirt look should be selected depending on the style. Pumps, stiletto sandals, and ballet flats will suit a tight-fitting model. Low shoes (oxfords, brogues, loafers) go with midi or maxi lengths. You can safely wear sneakers, slip-ons, or trainers with short or fluffy casual skirts.
Jewelry should be chosen with caution, it is better to refuse it altogether or leave a thin chain around the neck. The bag should be small, you can take a clutch with a long handle or a leather backpack. Fishnet tights, with patterns or in bright colors overload the image. It is better to choose thin black or beige nylon stockings.
