Pleated skirts suit everyone - young and not so young, cane and plump, sporty and romantic. You just need to choose your option and figure out what to wear it with.
Rules for combining a pleated skirt with other clothes
You need to select bow partners for this stylish item based on its style. Skirts differ from each other in length and width, colors and the way the folds are formed. There are many options - from a frivolous tutu to a “pencil”, complemented by a detail from a fold in a circle. Also The reason for wearing a skirt is also taken into account – what is good at work may turn out to be boring at a holiday.
Advice! Having acquired a pleated skirt of a moderately modest style, take care of a set of different blouses. A strict one is suitable for work, but for a date, save a plain lace one.
What to wear with such a skirt?
The thing is so universal that there can be countless combinations. There is only one strict rule - the fuller the hem, the tighter the top should be.
With a T-shirt or long sleeve
A T-shirt is an excellent addition to a plaid skirt, and not only a short one: a neat, slightly fitted model will suit midi and maxi lengths. It looks especially good with a circular pleated bottom, and tartan is unbeatable. Reminiscent of the image of a schoolgirl and is associated with youth and carelessness.
In the hot summer, such a set will be self-sufficient, and when it gets a little colder, you can replace the T-shirt with a long sleeve - the silhouette will be even slimmer. A long sleeve with its ability to fit the torso will be in place with fuller models of skirts like a tutu, and with pleating.
With a silk blouse
A silk blouse will turn any version of a pleated skirt into a formal one - for a schoolgirl or student it is enough to wear it with a tartan or black skirt, for a business woman - to complement the office “pencil” with this option on a pre-holiday day.
Advice! The combination of a long cream bottom with a top in pastel shades will help create an outfit that is festive and modest at the same time.
With a sweatshirt
A fairly spacious sweatshirt will be an excellent addition to moderately full pleated skirts in your everyday wardrobe. Looks great paired with:
- short skirt of different colors;
- pleated midi and maxi options.
The latter is a fashionable combination, which is best not to be overloaded with layers and an abundance of jewelry. Simplicity of form in this case is first and foremost!
With a biker jacket
This is not the first time that the composition, evoking thoughts of rock and roll and reckless youth, has come into fashion. If earlier a leather jacket had to be black, now it can have any color, be decorated with embroidery, and not just chains, spikes and rivets.
However, black remains a classic.By complementing the ensemble with black tights (you can also take a closer look at leg warmers) and a fashionable backpack, you get a stylish look!
Important! The color of the shoes in this case must match the color of the jacket!
With a jacket or cardigan
Both the jacket and the cardigan are ideal for all types of pleated fabric; it is only important to wear shirts and blouses that are not too voluminous under them. An ensemble with a midi length will also be successful. A floor-length skirt made of heavy fabric and with a large pleat can be combined with a short jacket. A cardigan will make the look too “heavy”.
What shoes go with a pleated skirt?
You need to choose shoes depending on the hem length, body shape, external characteristics and personal preferences. For example:
- The mini version requires shoes with heels, but for those with long slender legs, both ballet flats and sneakers are suitable. With the onset of cold weather, in addition to warm tights, you will need either high boots (with or without heels) or deliberately thick-skinned boots with laces.
- The midi model, which visually shortens the legs, requires a heel - thin or stable. A wedge heel would also work. Classics are beyond competition here, be it pumps or neat boots. Sandals and ankle boots can be an alternative.
- With floor-length models, any shoe option is perfect - with or without heels, with wedges and platforms.
