In our attention-deprived era, when trends come and go faster than you can say "tomato girl," there's something extra appealing about a fashion moment that lingers. Lace-trimmed pieces started popping up on our radar a few seasons ago, adding a sense of romance and whimsy to otherwise practical daytime outfits and a jolt of sexiness to nighttime looks. But unlike other blink-and-you'll-miss-it fashion fixations, the lace trend is still going strong—just look at New York Fashion Week, where plenty of insiders at the shows wore skirts or tops with a frilly little lace edge. Below, we've shopped out ways to wear the look this fall.
