New York Fashion Week is currently in full swing, with Khaite, Ralph Lauren and Off-White, to name but a few, providing highlights that will linger on many a fashion fan’s radar. Yet, runway shows aside, it’s the guests in attendance who provide plenty of styling inspiration, and this season, one item has stuck out: lace skirts.

While it’s not necessarily a new trend – they feature on many a Tumblr feed with Dr Martens and a faded band T-shirt in tow – the lace skirt has certainly had a resurgence. Although perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s had a stylistic upgrade since the days of the original flip phones.

This week in New York, we’ve seen them styled with tailored waistcoats, colour-coordinating straight-cut tunics and cosy cardigans, proving there are plenty of ways to wear the lace look. You may also be surprised to learn that the graphic T-shirt has not been completely forgotten: plenty of chic women on Pinterest are reviving the original ‘lace skirt plus band shirt’ look for more casual occasions.
