Lace dresses can get a bit of a bad rap. Growing up in the Noughties, the trending lace dresses I became familiar with were neon and body-con, worn for school discos and birthday parties. A quick surf on the web revealed that such styles still exist but, by and large, they’ve been usurped by iterations designed in a much more wearable boho spirit.
And in 2025, whenever “boho” is mentioned in a fashion context, a reference to Chloé’s creative director Chemena Kamali will likely follow. Diaphanous lace dresses defined her spring offering for the house, presented in an array of silhouettes and shades. As well as providing plenty of new lace dresses for her Chloé loyals, Kamali also proposed new ways to wear lace, and paired many looks with playful jelly sandals.

While lace dresses are commonly associated with the boho movement–along with other style tropes like tassels, fringing et cetera–they aren’t exclusive to free-spirited style. During his tenure at Balenciaga, Demna debuted a variety of lace dresses, reminiscent of lingerie and negligées, the most recent of which were made into customs for Dua Lipa to wear on stage for her Radical Optimism tour.
