Spring hasn’t yet sprung but there’s no reason that you shouldn’t start adding a few new season trends to your wardrobe.
Why not embrace gothic romanticism with lace – make it moody in monochrome for true Wuthering Heights vibes then transition to pops of colour for early spring.
At River Island you’ll find delicate details, breathy, windswept silhouettes and pieces that look captivating without making you feel like you’re auditioning for a period drama.
Lace-trim knits are the gateway into your gothic romance era. We love this playful hybrid lace hem dress for £69.
Asymmetrical camis with a delicate lace trim are a must this season – layer under jackets and jumpers for winter-weather-friendly looks that still tick all the style boxes.
H&M’s latest offerings include pieces that would be right at home on Heathcliff’s moors – from their matching black skirt and top with lace insets and decorative pintucks, to their button down maxi dress in crisp cotton poplin with dreamy puffed sleeves.
Also available at H&M, a soft knit, £44.99, featuring a lace-trimmed satin panel below the hem – the perfect way to create an asymmetric, layered look with ease.
Team cosy jumpers with satin skirts for a chic but practical ensemble for this time of year. H&M’s calf length slip skirt in light beige with scalloped lace trim, £27.99, could be teamed with boots, loafers, trainers or heels making it a versatile neutral base for multiple outfits.
For a lace midi skirt that’s flowing, romantic and impossible to ignore, check out the black satin asymmetric lace trim skirt from River Island, £29, also available in slate grey. Wear with a simple white tee and faux leather bubble hem bomber jacket for daytime dates or team with a statement top for main character glamour.
Championed on the runways over the last few seasons, chocolate brown is still riding high as one of fashion’s most popular shades. At M&S you’ll find a rich brown draped cami top with black lace trim, £30, which is sure to bring a dose of effortless feminine flair to your edits.
Delicate and just a little bit daring, lace can elevate a simple tee, giving effortless style with minimal effort. At New Look you’ll find an array of options – from nautical stripes and neutral cotton tees to slogan t-shirts with more of a grunge aesthetic.
For an athleisure twist, opt for Primark’s white layered lace t-shirt, £8, which sees a utilitarian cotton tee given a new season update with long lace sleeves.
Snap up Primark’s crew neck sweatshirt with lace trim for just £12, or their viral lace edged ribbed tank top for just £9, available in six shades including maroon and baby blue.
Whether you’re going for a dash of elegance, a hint of glamour or a contemporary take on grunge, lace is sure to be a feature in your SS26 style story.
