Considered for a very long time as an obsolete piece, the pleated skirt is experiencing a dazzling comeback this year.
Highlighted on the catwalks of Fashion Week by many designers, it is the flagship piece of the born trend o bourgeois :a look halfway between the city dweller and the BCBG.
However, the pleated skirt has the advantage of adapting to many rooms and is not confined to a single style. It goes just as well with sweaters as perfectos or basic T-shirts. It can be worn rock, bohemian and even sportswear!
What are the different ways to wear the pleated skirt this season? Is it made for your morphology? Read our guide to learn all about the pleated skirt.
If you're still hesitant to go for a pleated skirt , know that this cut of skirt goes to all morphologies thanks to its lightness and its fluidity.
Thanks to its fluidity, the pleated skirt will go very well for morphologies with generous shapes.
The ideal is not to choose colors that are too flashy to avoid emphasizing the lower body . A dark, solid shade is a better choice for this type of figure. We will choose it well in a light material and we will avoid pleated leather skirts for example which would weigh down the silhouette.
Instead emphasize the upper body with a pretty neckline.
For shoes:obviously if the goal is to appear more slender, opt for heels and wear them well fitted at the waist.
The pleated skirt is perfect for little ones because it lengthens the silhouette.
However, be sure to wear it with high heels otherwise you will look shrunken! So we opt for a pretty pair of heeled ankle boots. Always with the aim of appearing taller, we will associate it with rather short tops such as a perfecto, a denim jacket or a short blazer.
Conversely, if you are tall, it is better to avoid wearing the pleated skirt with high heels because you risk looking really huge.
A perfect choice is to mix it with trendy sneakers like a pretty pair of adidas Gazelle that will go very well with this type of skirt. You can opt for flowing tops or "loose" cuts for an ultra trendy look.
There are different lengths of pleated skirts. You will see long ones and shorter ones. To wear it in a modern way and break the too "Madame" effect of the long pleated dress, this year it's the midi pleated skirt which is in the spotlight.
The midi skirt stops below the knees. To be warm this winter, choose materials such as leather, wool, velvet, etc.
A big trend this season is to pair your midi skirt with a warm sweater. What a great pleasure when you see the huge choice of knits in the shops. From XXL or oversized sweaters to close-fitting sweaters, you're spoiled for choice. We also love the long pleated skirt version!
It's not always easy to know which top to wear with a pleated skirt . In summer, it's easy, you put on a basic t-shirt or tank top and you're done. In winter, we ask ourselves more questions because we want to be warm despite the fact that we are in a skirt.
Here are some tips:

If there is one piece that is not easy to mix with a coat, it is the pleated skirt. Because of its length, we don't really know what type of coat to wear it with...A coat that's too short will completely break the chic style of your skirt and a coat that's too long will hide your pretty outfit. But then which coat to choose with a pleated skirt?
In terms of length, the ideal is to choose a coat at knee level or just above the knee. You will be warm with a big wool coat or a faux fur coat .
