The color and even shade of the model you choose can completely change your style. A rebel, an aristocrat, a romantic lady - all these images can be created by choosing the right shade of fabric. Important: items can be combined not only with the main color of the skirt, but also with the color of the lining.
For example, if the main color is black and the lining is beige, you can create a bow in beige tones.
White versatility
This item can be worn on a date, a walk, a holiday, or a meeting with friends. To prevent your appearance from looking too frivolous, you should choose a more serious top: for example, wear a leather jacket (if you are a fan of the grunge style), a sweater, or a shirt.

Knitted and floral motifs
The most popular texture of such fabrics. Almost all fashion tips on what to wear with a lace skirt refer specifically to “standard” lace.

You can even wear such a thing to work (if it’s not a mini). You can combine a similar detail with a thick jumper. An important condition: when choosing a similar item in winter, remember that the tights should not be too dark and dense so as not to take away the central accent from the lace.
Stylist tips
Lace is a decoration of the outfit; you should not overload the image with additional details. Straight lace skirt, pencil – these models look great with heels. A flared or full skirt can be worn without heels.
