I’m such a fan of this white lace pencil skirt. (…. did you catch that dad humor?! There are paper fan umbrellas above me in these pics 😂)
In all seriousness though, this lace pencil skirt is a great piece or your wear-to-work wardrobe. It’s polished, it’s comfortable (it has an elastic waist!), and it has a beautiful hemline. The first time I wore it to the office I received a number of compliments – but also a number of questions about wearing lace to the office. I realized that lace can be a bit intimidating when it comes to styling it for the office / a work environment so I wanted to bring you an easy guide on the do’s and dont’s of styling lace for the office.

I think the biggest concern people have with styling lace for work, is a worry that it is not professional enough. That is not the case at all if you keep in mind the following ‘Do’s‘ when picking out a lace piece that you plan on wearing for a day at the office.

I hope those quick do’s and don’ts for styling lace for the office help! You definitely don’t need to shy away from lace pieces, they can be great additions to your wear to work wardrobe. Below I’ve rounded up my favorite lace dresses & pencil skirts that you could wear to the office.

Thanks girl! <3
What a beautiful lace skirt! Perfect outfit for the office girl!
Thanks Greta! You’re so sweet <3
You nailed these tips, girlfriend! I remember as a kid my dad thought lace wasn’t appropriate to wear anywhere other than at home as pajamas or underclothing. He grew up very traditional and it took ages for my mom, sister, and I to show him that lace could be beautiful and elegant and not just overly sexy! It’s such a stunning material to wear when you do it right!
Thank you so much Stephanie! And aw I love that you are embracing lace now! It definitely can be so elegant!
adorable outfit. I am a fan of lace skirts as well!

Aw that is so sweet! Thanks babe!!!
I’m a supporter of lace for the office too as long as its appropriate like you said!! There’s so many masculine styles in workwear that feminine lace is so refreshing!
