I Can't Stop Obsessing Over This Pretty Skirt Trend—17 of the Chicest Picks to Style With Your Sweaters This Fall

I'm a sucker for a pretty trend. If lace, silk, chiffon, bows, and ruffles are 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. I, for one, couldn't be happier. The style in question is a lace-trimmed slip skirt. Pretty, romantic, 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 an autumnal hue, such as Reformation's Carolina Silk Skirt, or a chic summery miniskirt, such as J.Crew's Gwen Lace-Trim Slip Skirt in Linen, it's going to give your outfit an elevated, eye-catching, and alluring touch.
The key to pulling off a pretty trend like this without it coming off as too cutesy or saccharine is to offset it with something contrasting, such as a blazer, an oversize button-down, or a sumptuously soft and relaxed sweater (my personal favorite). 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 to cool.
I rounded up 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.
I'll be styling it just like J.Crew's head of design, Olympia Gayot.
