Pleated skirt

A few years ago the pleated skirts again confidently reached the world's catwalks, destroying the stereotype of "grandmother's bins" and turning from something smelling mothball to a fashion trend. But, like any trend, a pleated skirt is a capricious thing. It requires meticulousness in choosing, both herself and the cut, the design of the things with which she will be worn.

Length pleated skirt

  1. Short pleated skirt. A good option for young girls. A pleated skirt above the knee can become a part of the working wardrobe, as well as a dress for a romantic date or a get-together at a cafe with a girlfriend - it all depends on the coloring.
  2. Long pleated skirt. By "long" here is meant the length of the midi (below the knee). It is this model of pleated skirt that looks most stylish. And it is this skirt that will be most universal - it covers the time of socks from early spring, when the skirt can be dressed with pantyhose, until the middle of autumn. Of course, it is important that the coloring in this case is neutral or calm, muted shades.
  3. Pleated skirt in the floor. The option with which you need to be especially careful. Pleated skirt maxi - a thing that attracts attention, is memorable and very popular. In order not to replenish the ranks of clones in long skirts, avoid neon colors and try to ensure that all your look is thoughtful and stylish, and not just one skirt.

Color selection

  1. Beige pleated skirt - definitely the best option. A skirt of just such shades will be an excellent investment in the basic wardrobe - not only is it easy to combine with other colors, it will also be equally appropriate at different times of the year.
  2. Blue pleated skirt is the second most versatile option. Deep sapphire color will work on the principle of dark blue jeans - only this will be more interesting and original. This skirt is combined with the top of almost any color: red, yellow, green, white, sand, pink and all possible derivative shades. Avoid combinations with blue things of other shades - to wear such combinations you need to have an absolute, flawless taste, and if you are not sure of it - it's better not to take risks. Especially it will be fashionable to look in combination with a white shirt of a man's cut.
  3. A green pleated skirt is an option, surprisingly suitable for all types of appearance: brunettes, brown-haired, blondes, red-haired. If you want to have something both bright and everyday, a green skirt is for you. When selecting the top, there will also be no problems - instructions to them, as to the skirts of blue. To soften the contrast, white can be replaced by the color of melted milk or ivory.

With what to wear a pleated skirt ?

Clear instructions that wear with a pleated skirt, no. Most often they are worn with soft blouses and tops made of flowing fabrics - they look really stylish and expensive in a tucked state. In addition, the waist line in this case can always be emphasized by a contrasting thin belt.

If the skirt is of a bright color, try to find a neutral base - they should not compete with each other. It will be appropriate to have a massive decoration or a few bulky bracelets on the arm.
