This trend takes the summer feeling to the extreme

The summer hit of the year? White lace. Genre? Rock. Instead of being a catchy tune, this perennial favourite is a feast for the eyes.
Yes, I admit it, at first glance the association with granny's coffee tablecloth or her kitchen curtain is not far off. But: so what? The familiar-looking white lace has broken out to establish itself on less cosy terrain.
It is now making its way through cities and Instagram feeds in the form of light, airy and see-through skirts as an exciting basis for cool summer outfits. The fact that lace may initially be seen as conservative is skilfully used by its wearers as a break in style. After all, the (grandmotherly) romance has to be cancelled out with the right combination partners: at least the petticoat peeks through, for the brave even the briefs. It can also be sporty or rough. For example, with cowboy or biker boots, with flip flops or loafers.

If you're afraid of feeling too naked in this season's trendy skirt, three simple tips will help.
1. go for at least calf-length - and a long top
The skirt is completely see-through, yet the wearer doesn't look the least bit exposed. The secret is the length of the skirt: it doesn't really show any bare skin, but meets the shaft of the boots at a safe height. The shorter the already transparent skirt, the more naked the whole look appears.
On top, a long top helps to cover the bum and crotch.

2. secret weapon petticoat
With a petticoat or dress, you can easily avoid the feeling of too much nudity. How long or short the bottom layer should be is purely a matter of taste. Of course, it's nice if, despite several layers, some skin can still shimmer through and the transparent lace can really make an impact.

3. style a pair of trousers with it
If you really don't like showing your legs or simply like layering, pair the lace skirt with trousers. In this case, the hemline can slide up a little higher. To counteract the conglomeration of textiles, a sleeveless top or an open pair of shoes creates an airy contrast.
