An elegant lace top is the perfect staple item to have in your closet. You can wear it out for date night, keep it casual for a day out, or anything in between! We’ve compiled some of the best ways to style your lace top so you’ll never run out of things to wear.
Steps
-
Some lace tops don’t provide much coverage at all. If you’d like to make your lace top a little more appropriate, pick out a cute bralette to pop on underneath. [1] X Research source
- Choose a bralette in the same color as your lace top for a cohesive look, or add a fun accent color with a bright one instead.
- If bralettes aren’t your style, pick out a plain cami instead.

Delicate lace looks cute paired with ripped boyfriend jeans. Try light wash ones with a lighter lace top or dark wash ones with a dark lace top. [2] X Research source
- If it’s warm out, roll your jeans up a few times to show off some skin.
- You can dress this look up with a statement necklace and heels, or you can keep it casual with a pair of flats or sneakers.
-
Lace is super breathable, so it’s perfect for the summer. Put on some denim, khaki, or cotton shorts to stay cool and comfortable. [3] X Research source
- Add a pair of sandals and a few bracelets to really make this look stand out.
- If you’re heading to the beach, throw on a pair of large shades or a wide-brimmed hat.

You can wear your lace top to work with the right pants. Grab a pair of fitted trousers and pair them with heels or booties. [4] X Research source
- For an ultra-professional look, put a fitted blazer on top.

Denim and lace are a classic combination for an everyday look. Throw on a fitted denim jacket to look effortlessly chic every time. [5] X Research source
- Pair your look with skinny jeans and a pair of mules to run errands or go out to brunch.
- Or, add an a-line skirt and booties for a formal dinner.
- Lace also contrasts really well with fabrics like corduroy and linen. [6]
