Each season, you can always count on a new dress or skirt trend to enter the scene. So far this fall, sumptuous suede skirts, ladylike A-line styles, sleek leather midis, and even preppy plaid picks have made it onto our radar. Thanks to a recent crop of designers, like Chloé and Saint Laurent to Prada and Victoria Beckham, this late-October puts the focus on romantic, lacy slip dresses and skirts.

With a lingerie-inspired look and feel, these sultry staples are meant to be worn anywhere; they’re not limited to the bedroom. Need proof? Take the recent street style scene, for example. During fashion month, everyone from Nordstrom’s fashion director, Rickie De Sole, to fashion editor and stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, sported their slippy skirts and dresses with everything from slouchy leather bomber jackets and knee-high boots to chic cashmere sweaters and top-handle bags. The result? A perfect juxtaposition of edginess and daintiness we can surely get behind regardless of the season. Below, eight lacy dress and slip skirt outfits that not only have the runway seal-of-approval, but the fashion-girl one, too.

According to De Sole, Chloé’s lace-trimmed, asymmetrical silk-satin midiskirt deserves the top spot on your fall shopping wish list. Styling-wise, it stars alongside Massimo Dutti’s funnel-neck bomber jacket, Polo Ralph Lauren’s grungy flannel shirt, and a pair of calf-hair adorned ballet flats from Reformation. Searching for another catwalk-to-closet classic? Prada’s powder blue slip skirt adds a welcome pop of color to even the simplest of outfits this fall. We’re wearing ours with Banana Republic’s chunky cable-knit sweater, a pair of brown suede penny loafers from Saint Laurent, and, to top it all off, J.Crew x Christopher John Roger’s gold-foil barn jacket. Black-and-white lacy slip skirts and dresses from Zara, Róhe, and Victoria Beckham are the ultimate minimalist must-haves. The latter acts as your go-to soirée staple this holiday season, enhanced only by The Frankie Shop’s winter white overcoat, a pair of kitten-heel pumps from By Far, and Cos’s sequin evening clutch. Honorable mention goes to Saint Laurent’s after-hours, lace-trimmed LBD and J.Crew’s icy-blue satin slip skirt–two sultry staples that will last for seasons in your rotation, not just the right now. Below, eight lace-trimmed dress and slip skirt outfits that will add a romantic touch to your everyday wardrobe.

Of all the fall colors to consider this season, powder pink is an undeniable choice. We even saw it sprinkled throughout the spring runways, too, at Khaite, The Row, and even Gucci. This season, take part with Siédres’s lace-trimmed slip skirt. Styling-wise, we love how it looks juxtaposed with The Frankie Shop’s oversized leather jacket and a pair of over-the-knee boots from Staud. Prada’s leopard-print shoulder bag is another new neutral worth adding to your cart.

While you may not need to hear us wax poetic about barn jackets for the umpteenth time, we’d be remiss not to call out this J.Crew x Christopher John Rogers gold-foil jacket that just hit the scene. Wear it with anything and everything this fall, but especially Prada’s straight-off-the-runway slip skirt, Banana Republic’s chunky knit turtleneck sweater, and a pair of soft-toe suede loafers from Saint Laurent. It’s an outfit to brighten up even the gloomiest of winter days to come–and comes with the street style seal of approval, courtesy of Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.

Curious about the slip skirt that started it all? Chloé’s lace-trimmed, asymmetrical silk-satin midiskirt is the one to thank. Dreamed up by Chloé creative director Chemena Kamali, the sultry staple was the indisputable standout of the brand’s most recent pre-fall collection. While we all raced to add it to our already overflowing shopping carts, Nordstrom’s fashion director, Rickie De Sole, was wearing hers with oversized outerwear, chunky knits, and great black boots. Get a similar look, below, with Massimo Dutti’s funnel-neck bomber jacket, Polo Ralph Lauren’s flannel shirt, and a pair of calf-hair ballet flats from Reformation.
