I know I’m not the only one who feels slightly confused by the idea of styling lace shorts. This is an item that is SUPER feminine, and because it has such a specific look, it can be hard to figure out what to wear it with. The obvious answer would be to pair it with a solid-colored tee, but that gets boring after a while. Looking for inspiration? Here are 20 style tips on how to wear lace shorts with outfit ideas to steal this summer:
