Lace-Trim Shorts: How to Wear Spring 2026's Prep-Meets-Romantic Trend

Lace-trim styling first started popping up in a smaller way last spring, but for 2026 it's taking center stage across the season's collections, offering a softer counterpoint to spring's bolder color and silhouette trends.

Prep Meets Romance

What makes this trend distinct is the pairing: delicate lace trim worked into otherwise casual, preppy pieces, rather than reserved for eveningwear alone. The contrast between the structured base piece and the romantic lace detailing is what gives the look its refined edge.

Where It's Showing Up

Lace trim has appeared on everything from shorts to tops this season, typically styled with sweaters, simple t-shirts, sandals, and kitten heels for an easy, elevated aesthetic that doesn't read as overly formal.

Styling the Trend

A lace-trimmed top is one of the simplest ways to bring this look into rotation. The VacationGrabs Lace Top offers exactly the kind of refined, romantic detailing this season's trend calls for.
