Lace-Trim Skirts Are Still Everywhere—This is the Shoe That Makes Them Look 2026 Instead of Dated

Lace-trimmed skirts have been among the most talked-about skirt trends since mid-2025—and for good reason. They are pretty, romantic, versatile, and chic, available in a variety of colors, patterns, lengths, and price points. Whether you love them or not, their appeal isn’t waning; in fact, it seems to be growing. While they have all these great qualities, it’s important to remember that styling them is a skill; they can easily look dated if not worn correctly. For those curious about how to make them appear fresh, take a cue from Gigi Hadid.

This week, while in Paris for Couture Fashion Week, Hadid was spotted heading to a meeting in a lace-trimmed skirt. She wore a red-and-pale-pink patterned design that featured a white lace hem. She paired it with a loose white tank top and black leather Mary Janes. Staying true to her style, she completed the outfit with a suede Miu Miu shoulder bag and tiny sunglasses.

It’s not often that we see Hadid wearing Mary Janes, so spotting them on her grabbed our attention because it seemed like a very intentional choice. Compared to her go-to loafers, which are structured and heavier, Mary Janes are more delicate and better complement the skirt’s soft, fluid drape.

If you’re looking for the chicest way to make the lace-trimmed skirt in your closet feel new again, follow Hadid’s lead. That said, keep scrolling to shop the best Mary Janes on the market, and if you don’t own the skirt style, we’ve also rounded up some polished options.
