What can I wear with a pleated skirt?

Surely, at the mention of a pleated skirt, only images of school times appear in my head, when it was necessary to observe a strict style of dress. Many girls associate pleating with school. Over time, this stereotype collapses, and then a new, immense space for self-expression appears in the form of creating original images.

By choosing the right length, material and color, and then complementing the skirt with the right clothes, shoes and accessories, you can get different styles - romantic, sporty or business. In this article, we will describe how to create a beautiful pleated bow for different occasions.

We propose to consider in more detail the options for bows with pleated from different materials.

• Pleated tulle skirt. Small, soft mesh looks very gentle on a fragile girlish figure, so it is used to create a romantic look. Pleated tulle is included in the trends of the season - it can increasingly be seen both on young girls and on mature, business women. The accordion tulle goes well with a knitted bodysuit, a tight-fitting T-shirt or a loose blouse.To complete the look from a mid-length skirt and a blouse, you can use shoes or stiletto sandals; pumps are especially good options. In the fall, ankle-length pleating can be complemented with flat shoes or moccasins, as well as a loose knit sweater. In autumn, this image will look very romantic - from a girl in such an outfit, it will breathe comfort and warmth.

• Chiffon pleating. Chiffon is a very light and airy fabric that dances weightlessly at the slightest breeze. Accordions made of this material are most often worn in the summer, combining them with T-shirts, T-shirts, sleeveless blouses or light shirts. Neat stiletto sandals will be good shoes for pleated knee lengths - they will add weightlessness to an airy summer look. Nevertheless, an image with a chiffon wardrobe item can be used in the off-season, complementing it with heeled ankle boots and a stylish leather biker jacket.

• Velvet pleated skirt. Velvet makes the feminine image very stylish and expensive, so it is necessary to select the top and shoes for pleating, observing the aristocratic bow. Velvet products look best in autumn and winter, because their texture adds warmth and comfort to the image. It is better to choose the top for an accordion of the same tone or a little lighter; it will also be reasonable to give preference to plain products without a pattern, so as not to interrupt the play of light on the velvet fabric. A knitted sweater, loose pullover or short sheepskin coat is perfect for such a skirt. A good length of the product is just below the knee, because this way it can be supplemented with different types of shoes, for example, youth moccasins, bold heeled ankle boots or expensive suede boots.

• Knitted accordion. Knitwear is a good choice for autumn and winter looks, and also looks great in a business style. In the event that you are choosing a top for an office skirt, you can opt for a comfortable shirt that needs to be tucked in, or a fitted turtleneck that emphasizes the pleats. Shoes in this image should emphasize business style - it can be neat ballet flats or closed shoes with not too high stable heels. For autumn and winter bows, the selection of clothes and accessories for a plain knitted accordion is less strict - it can be a loose sweater, a short fur coat or a laconic pullover, complemented by a jacket. Finishing off the final look with a neat brim hat and flat boots will make you look like a romantic Frenchwoman.

• Leather pleating. Fashion designers never cease to amaze with new, unusual trends, one of which is leather pleating. A stylish wardrobe item turns a girl into a beauty who has just stepped off the world catwalk. Leather products look chic in the fall when combined with turtlenecks, loose sweaters, sweatshirts and shirts. You can beautifully complete the look with leather boots with heels, a woolen coat and a soft cap with a small visor - such a bow is thoroughly imbued with the aristocracy and romance of German girls.

• Denim skirt. Denim wardrobe items have been consistently fashionable over the years, and pleated skirts are no exception. Pleated denim skirt is suitable for both summer and off-season, because with it you can create the most daring looks. The most popular top is a blue striped shirt, which will perfectly accentuate the bow of a self-confident girl ready for unexpected adventures.A white T-shirt and sneakers are an ideal addition to a denim wardrobe item in summer, and to make your look more business-like, you just need to change your sneakers to neat ballet flats or pumps.

Color matching is a very important detail when creating a beautiful bow, so it is important to pay special attention to this nuance. Let's take a closer look at what you can combine with pleats of different shades.

White and black are considered the most successful colors in addition to gray - a combination of clothes with one of these tones will create an image of a restrained but interesting girl. And also with a gray skirt, you can combine both colors at once, then the bow will look less strict, but quite calm to go both to an official meeting and for a walk with friends. Complement the pleating with a light top, black leather jacket, boots and a neat matching handbag to create the look of a stylish urban lady.

However, gray does not only work well with white and black - cyan and blue are also great complements. A combination of gray pleating, a white top and a denim jacket will look very stylish. You can complete the look with a small shoulder bag and stylish sneakers.

There is another option for a gray pleated skirt, when it is made of a metallic fabric of a light or dark shade. These skirts are suitable for the off-season, as they go well with both light tops and soft sweaters. A light-colored knit sweater and white sneakers work well with a light silver pleating.

To create a bold, memorable style, try pairing the tops with different colored skirts. With pleating of the same color, you can come up with several interesting bows at once. Let's take a closer look at several options for an image with models of different shades.

Based on these shades, choose loose shirts, blouses and tops for your pleats, and tight-fitting pullovers tucked under the skirt are also good options.

A loose knitted blue sweater, a beige cropped jacket and neat light sandals will create a bright image that attracts the eyes of others. Dark shades of blue look great in a business style with a light blue, white, or beige top.

• Printed skirts. Pleating can be not only monochromatic, but also with various patterns, for example, leopard, checkered or striped. And also quite often there are styles with a floral print - they look very gentle and feminine.

Despite the fact that recently many girls consider skirts to be exclusively a summer wardrobe item, there are many models for autumn and even for winter. If you choose the right clothes, you will not be cold even on the coldest days. Let's take a closer look at how to create a beautiful pleated bow at different times of the year.

In hot weather, it is best to choose pleats made from thin, breathable materials such as chiffon, mesh or silk. When creating a business style, combine a midi skirt with a loose shirt, tucked into the belt, and sandals with stable heels. When you're heading out on your first date, a pink chiffon skirt and white blouse will help create a gentle and romantic lady. For informal occasions, meetings with friends and long walks in the shops, a combination with a T-shirt and sneakers is suitable.

In the fall, it is still important to wear clothes in bright colors, but pastel and “dusty” shades will also look spectacular against the background of yellow trees.During this period, it is better to give preference to materials that retain heat well - it can be knitwear or wool. In early autumn, sports style is at the peak of popularity - a sweatshirt or hoodie beautifully complements the skirt, and lace-up sneakers or boots complete the look.

For a fall business look, a pleated skirt can be worn with a fitted turtleneck, coat, and high boots. A also for the office, pleating is complemented by a monochrome blouse and a contrasting jacket - this image will look like a formal suit.

In this case, it is better to give preference to muted shades of fabric and shoes with not too high heels. For walks and solving everyday affairs in the city, a free jacket and leather jacket will be an excellent addition to pleating. After finishing your look with comfortable shoes, you can go shopping or go to the movies with friends.

On frosty days, warm outerwear becomes a permanent wardrobe item, but even in such conditions, a pleated skirt can create a beautiful image. It is very important for girls not to get cold in winter, so choose skirts made of leather or wool - they will help to keep warm. When choosing shades of an image, give preference to darker, deeper tones. When picking up the top, do not strive to get a neat look - negligence and simplicity are the main selection criteria for a cozy winter bow. An oversized jumper or sweater is perfect for a midi skirt, as well as warm tights and high boots.

When choosing clothes to attend a celebration, a pleated skirt is a great choice. An elegant look with velor or velvet pleating looks very interesting - these materials shimmer and "play", creating a feeling of celebration. It is best to complement such options with silk or satin blouses, which will also shine beautifully in the light. For special occasions, accessories should be appropriate - a neat monochrome clutch bag and stylish ornaments with patterns.

A pleated skirt can also be worn for a wedding - silk models in light shades look very solemn, so they are an excellent choice. For such an important holiday, stylists advise choosing a top made of guipure or lace - in combination with a corrugated skirt, it looks amazing.

Many designers say that pleated skirts are best for tall, slender girls. Folds add volume to thin young ladies in the hip area, therefore they are a good wardrobe item for body shaping. Shirred and pleated items make a fragile figure more feminine and voluminous, therefore, when choosing clothes with such processing, this nuance must be taken into account.

Girls of short stature can also wear corrugated models, but when choosing a length, you need to focus on mini or midi. Floor-length styles are not suitable for short women - they will make their legs visually shorter. And also high-heeled shoes become an obligatory attribute of the image - they will help to visually lengthen the legs and emphasize the slimness of the figure.

Images with a pleated skirt are also available for overweight girls, but it is better to choose styles with folds widening downward - they will visually make the figure slimmer. The length in this case is recommended midi or maxi - bows with such styles of clothing will look aesthetically pleasing and beautiful on an imperfect figure.

There is no need to choose a top that is too fitted or too loose - each of the options can negatively affect the overall look of the image. Choose clothing that is the right size and also made from thick materials. For a plump woman, pleating can be combined with a T-shirt made of natural material, a denim blouse, a thin pullover or a leather jacket - all these things look good on any figure.

Avoid knitted clothes, as they can highlight the flaws of a plump body. Despite the fact that overweight girls should not wear loose clothes so as not to seem overweight, you can do a little trick to hide flaws: put on a straight-cut blouse and wear it outside. If you do not tuck in the top, the figure will appear more neat and slender.
