I always find this time of year a little tricky to dress for. With a new moody energy sweeping the style scene, the fresh cotton garments that I reached for all summer simply feel out of place come the turn of the season. Craving a wardrobe refresh that's in line with the darker energy of winter, I'm newly inspired to shop the elegant lace blouse trend.
Simultaneously sultry and sophisticated, these chic blouses have a gothic undertone that so perfectly suits these dark winter days. At the same time feeling fresh and feminine, the lace blouse is an outfit-altering garment that can direct the entire energy of a winter look.
Whilst we often see lace dresses balloon in popularity across party seasons, this fresh take offers a wearable version of the lace fashion trend that makes incorporating the fabric into your daily styling so much easier. Styling well with flared jeans or denim skirts for a boho-inspired silhouette, this elegant trend also looks supremely stylish when worn with a black maxi skirt, or styled with plenty of ruffles for a lavish finish.
A hero item in Chloé's editor-favourite autumn/winter 2024 runway show earlier this year, lace blouses populated the collection contributing a romantic and feminine energy to the boho-inspired edit.
Since Chloé's runway show in February, brands have been quick to emulate the winning silhouette. Whilst Chloé's styles live rent-free in my mind, I've also been charmed by some chic high street styles from the likes of H&M and & Other Stories. Read on to discover our edit of the best lace blouses to shop right now.
