YEUNORY magazine-style cover: 9 Ways to Style a Lace Skirt This Fall, with five credited outfit photographs on an ivory typographic layout.
YEUNORY

A lace skirt changes character with the pieces around it. Add a belted blazer for definition, a burgundy knit for warmth or straight jeans for an unexpected extra layer. The point is contrast: let the delicate fabric share space with something familiar.

Expanding LOOK 05 — Tailoring Meets a Lace Skirt from our 30 Fall Layering Outfit Ideas, this edit brings together two Korean creators and seven international style references. From all-over floral lace to a small scalloped hem, each look offers a different way to work the texture into your wardrobe.
