With summer around the corner, I’ve been in full wardrobe-refresh mode. After months of living in sweaters, turtlenecks, and anything fleece- or wool-lined to survive a New York winter, I’m ready for pieces that feel lighter and softer. And one item that’s definitely about to be on heavy rotation? A silk, lace-trim skirt.
I’ve been seeing the romantic skirt everywhere lately—styled on the fashion crowd around New York City, all over my feed, and on icons like Taylor Swift, who wore a Fleur du Mal one in London over the weekend, and Zendaya, who’s made the silhouette feel especially cool and modern with a simple tee. At this point, I’m fully convinced the lace-trim silk skirt is gonna be the summer wardrobe staple. Which means, naturally, I need to start shopping for one ASAP.
Styling-wise, what I love most about the trend is just how versatile it is. I’ve been seeing the piece across a whole spectrum of aesthetics. Taylor Swift wore hers for a date night with fiancé Travis Kelce in an elevated, polished way: paired with a coordinating black lace-trim tank, a long leather trench coat, and strappy heels. The overall vibe felt sleek, sexy, and cocktail-ready.
Meanwhile, Zendaya took a more laid-back approach, styling hers with a graphic tee and loafers for something that felt more effortless and a little more personal. That’s the beauty of the skirt! It can swing dramatically depending on how you style it.
Lace-trim silk skirts have been trending in every length and colorway, but the knee-grazing silhouette is clearly having the biggest moment right now, which makes sense with the return of the pencil skirt. The details in some designs have especially caught my eye, from asymmetrical cuts to unexpected slits, giving them a more elevated, fashion-forward feel. And honestly, it’s one of those lightweight, breathable pieces that’s perfect for the high temps ahead—because at this point, the thought of jeans or any pants feels absolutely unbearable.
With so many styles out there, I wanted one I could easily throw on with different tops without overthinking it. I ended up finding this Old Navy skirt, and it’s 40% off right now, which feels like a win for both my closet and my wallet. It has that trendy knee-length hem, comes in a versatile black colorway, and has side slits that give it some punch. I’ve also got my eye on the yellow one…
