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 side of winter, I’m newly inspired to adopt the elegant lace blouse trend, which is suddenly everywhere.
Simultaneously sultry and sophisticated, these chic blouses have a gothic undertone that so perfectly suits this point in the year. Whether you choose to wear yours with jeans, a skirt or wide-leg trousers, a lace blouse is an outfit-altering garment that can direct the entire feel of a winter look.
Whilst we often see lace dresses balloon in popularity across party seasons, this top 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 item 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 payoff 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.
