How To Wear Summer’s Sultriest Trend

Long before it became synonymous with bridal gowns and lingerie, lace was a symbol of status—its intricate detail and fragility reserved for the elite to signal their wealth and refinement. While it's more accessible today, lace still carries the same, undeniable allure, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' stitched into every eyelet. Basically, no matter how you put it, it's just plain sultry.

But, because of it's sometimes ~erotic~ associations it can be difficult to style. Alexander McQueen did it punk, Betsey Johnson was for girly girls, Versace always went sexy, but that's where the Carlson sisters step in. The girls have done it all. Sheer slips, frilly trims and festival-ready crochet, so you don't have to overthink it (we're gonna go ahead and say it, NO ONE loves lace quite like Devon).

Scroll on for all the style inspo you could ever need, and to top it all off, we have the perfect case to pair with your new lacy look—whichever direction you take it.

1. THE CAMISOLE

The Going Out Top lives on with the lace cami. There's nothing more fun than juxtaposing dressy and feminine and casual and androgynous, which means it pairs perfectly with jeans and an oversized blazer or a vintage leather jacket. It’s the kind of piece you can throw on for just about any occasion, and never looks like you're trying too hard.
