Am I tempted to channel Jennifer Lawrence's summer-proof jeans? Of course—it's J.Law. But every July like clockwork, I swear off denim trends indefinitely. Not even Lawrence's baggiest of baggy jeans could replace my lightweight lace-trimmed bottoms.
Turns out, my denim antidote agrees with the celebrity style calendar. Lace-trimmed skirts and shorts have won over my favorite fashion muses for summer 2025, even Lawrence herself. Why now? "They’re the perfect mix of comfortable and polished for summer: lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly feminine," Micaela Erlanger, celebrity stylist to Kelly Clarkson and Lupita Nyong'o, tells me over email.
