It's official: Eyelet is definitely having a moment. The delicate details and open construction have made it a mainstay of summer fashion, but you may have noticed it making more of a statement recently. While eyelet has always donned tops, skirts, and summer dresses, you'll now find it adorning practically everything from earrings to espadrilles. And with the warm weather finally upon us, we can officially declare that white eyelet is back and cooler than ever!

Everyone is jumping on the trend this season, including Ree Drummond herself. The new Pioneer Woman summer clothing collection features easy-to-wear tops and pretty summer maxi dresses, all with embroidered eyelet details. We love the pops of color, but there's something so effortlessly breezy when it comes in solid white. Plus, white is known to absorb less heat from the sun, so not only does white look cooler in the summer, it actually is cooler to wear!

And while you might be tempted to stop wearing white after Labor Day, we're here to remind you that the white eyelet trend doesn't have to stop just because you're back from vacation mode. That old rule is totally outdated, plus it's still quite warm in September anyway. If you like the trend, keep wearing eyelet as long as you want! Here are some great ways to wear it.
