Let’s get one thing straight: A short lace-trimmed skirt–i.e., one hot summer trend–is not about shock value. It’s about owning softness with edge, femininity with nothing to prove. Styling it with tomboyish pieces, such as oversized button-downs or knits (below), beat-up tees, or boyfriend jackets—doesn’t just mitigate the lingerie vibe…it amplifies it. The contrast makes it cooler, sharper, more intentional. I love how London-based Lucy Williams, above, wears her Doen skirt with Miu Miu boat shoes and a zip-up jacket. I snapped up the flowy Free People (slightly longer) skirt, last pic.
