LACE SKIRTS
Most lace skirts ask you to handle them carefully. These ask you to wear them boldly. Sequined embroidered floral lace layered over a separate slip, cut at midi length, and finished with the kind of texture that shifts between light and shadow with every step. A woman's lace skirt should not be saved for one occasion and stored for the rest of the year. It should be the piece you reach for when the outfit needs a pulse.
Lindsay Nicholas built this collection around four colourways, each with a separate slip included and a character that stands apart from the rest. Where the suits for women collection holds structure, the lace skirts bring texture. Where wool stays grounded, sequins catch every light in the room.
The Lace Skirt Collection
The Lace Skirt in Floral opens the collection with an intricate embroidered overlay and sequin detailing that reads differently depending on the setting. Warm enough for candlelight, detailed enough for daylight.
The Lace Skirt in Black is the crossover piece. Sequined lace over a slip in a shade that works across every context, from the office to evening, and pairs as easily with a knit as it does with silk. The Lace Skirt in Gold carries warm metallic tones in sequined embroidery for the nights that call for presence without a gown. And the Lace Skirt in Crimson Rose brings a saturated depth, a lace midi skirt bold enough to anchor the entire outfit on its own.
Four Ways to Wear a Women's Lace Skirt
A lace skirt is not a single-register piece when you know how to build around it. The Black with a Bow Blouse for women tucked in, and a pointed-toe heel carries enough polish for any professional setting. The Floral with a sweater and a flat shoe softens into a weekend look without losing its character.
For the evening, the Gold with a Tuxedo Blouse creates a shimmer-meets-structure pairing that replaces a dress entirely. The Crimson Rose, with a simple black silk top and a Poet Blouse layered open over the shoulders, adds depth and volume.
In cooler months, add an Elizabeth Jacket or a trench coat over any of these lace skirts for women for a layered silhouette. Complete the look with a faux fur collar or a piece from the Fire Horse Collection for added edge.
The Slip Makes the Difference
Every Women's skirt in the collection comes with a separate slip, and that detail matters more than it sounds. The slip provides a smooth foundation so the embroidered lace sits against the body without clinging, pulling, or revealing more than intended. It also means you control the layering. A nude slip for a seamless finish, a contrasting slip for a more graphic effect. Every piece is constructed in workshops that meet strict ethical compliance standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are lace skirts in fashion?
Yes. Textured midi skirts and sequined lace are consistently present in editorial and evening collections. A well-made lace skirt that women keep across seasons never goes out of relevance.
2. How to wear a lace skirt?
Match the top to the occasion. A fitted knit and flat shoes for daytime. A silk blouse and heels for the evening. Let the lace set the tone and keep the rest streamlined.
3. What top goes well with a lace skirt?
A tucked-in silk blouse, a fitted black top, or a structured piece like the Bow Blouse or Tuxedo Blouse. Keep the neckline clean and let the lace mini skirt or midi carry the texture.
4. Are lace skirts suitable for formal occasions?
Absolutely. The Gold and Crimson Rose are natural choices for evening events, gallery openings, and formal dinners. The sequined embroidery carries the same presence as a gown in a simpler silhouette.
5. How do I choose the right slip color for a lace skirt?
Match the slip to your skin tone for a seamless look, or choose a contrasting shade for a more graphic effect. Each lace skirt comes with a complementary slip selected for that colourway.
