Remember when lace skirts were just associated with that romantic grunge style? Think oversized rock band t-shirts and flowy textured skirts paired with Dr. Marten boots? Yes, that's what we think of when we think of lace skirts, too. However, changing the narrative of this iconic skirt is the cult high street brand M&S - who may have just made the perfect lace skirt that is feminine, boho and practical.

Trending on social media this spring, we've seen the Lace Maxi Tiered Skirt, £49.50 on all our favourite fashion influencers right now, and we can totally see why. Designed in an off-white, ivory hue, this skirt is the perfect balance of elegant and bohemian.

To many of us, wearing a sheer lace skirt like the celebrities doesn't always seem like the most modest or practical choice for our everyday looks. However, M&S has officially cracked the code and created a lace skirt with a part-lining, ensuring you're comfortable, whatever the occasion.

Looking for a new summer skirt? Lace skirts are trending right now, and this M&S one shows us exactly why. Made from a soft fabric containing breathable cotton, this lace skirt offers a flattering tiered structure and maxi length, making it a modern wardrobe staple this summer.

Even better, this gorgeous lace skirt is available in short, regular and tall. It's also made with an elasticated waist and tiered design, making it flattering on all shapes and sizes. Wondering how to pull off the lace skirt trend? There are so many ways to embrace boho core this summer.

To style the lace skirt for the office, pair it with clean silhouettes in androgynous styles, such as with a white t-shirt, an oversized neutral knit, a cream utility jacket or an oversized blazer, and your choice of work-appropriate shoes, including ballet pumps and trainers. Equally, if your office is a tad smarter, pair with a butter yellow or black tailored waistcoat, and pair with matching accessories.

For a more off-duty weekend look, we love pairing this lace skirt with a pop of colour, such as red. Why not try styling it with a clashing print, such as gingham? Or, if you want to give it a more wild-western look, just in time for festival season, try styling it with a matching vest, a suede jacket, and, of course, cowboy boots.

Demonstrating versatility - you'll never realise you needed a lace skirt until you have one.
