The Most Flattering Skirt That is Suited for All Ages. It's an airy and lightweight midi one. As seen in the latest street style of London, to your front row access seats at New York Fashion Week. It is a lazy girl's guide to looking like a model that is off duty. Some may call it an accordion skirt. Because.... hey it looks like one. Right? Others call it a knife pleated skirt. Because it can kill you even by just looking at it (*Kidding! Hahaha*) Just keep your fit relaxed and casual. Don't over-do or combine voluminous tops with your pleated skirt. You might look like a Christmas decoration (*laughing my heart out here*). It's better to choose light fabrics to create a contrasting silhouette to your body.
All pleated skirts can be different. There are wide-cut pleats, knife-pleated, super bright color with different hues, midi/maxi and even patterned pleated skirts.
It can also be worn with different types of shoes: from white sneakers, to kitten heels, to ankle booties, to a strappy sandals or just a simple flats.
To bring more edge or toughness to my look, I added a little bit of "OMF" factor. So I incorporated a black scarf around my neck.
Style Tip 101 from me: Don't be afraid to play with your pleats! If it's too cold outside, a sweater or a leather jacket as for your top can also be pertinent with pleated skirts. Just make sure to tuck it in. So may it not look like you're a decorative trash bag (HAHA). However, if the weather is too warm, then that's your chance to experiment. Because there are really tons of ways to wear pleated skirts. And you'll notice that most of these are really fun and cool pieces when worn.
That's why I'm here. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR.. (I know you're singing right now). Well, STOP it. Focus on me now! Because I'm here to give you, ladies some gist and awesome line-up of do's/don'ts on wearing these accordion skirts.
DO's
Let the skirt do the talking. Let it be comfortable and accentuate your whole physique.
For short women: To make an illusion that you're "tall" choose the length that is just above or below your knee. Trust me, maxi pleated ones are not for you my dear (you'll going to look like a trying hard midget) and you don't want that, ofcourse.
For petite women like me: Stay away from anything too full. Actually you're lucky because you can wear just about anything.
For the always "busog" kind of women: choose dark colors and matte finish textures to somehow hideaway those bumps.
DON'Ts
For women with large legs/thighs: don't wear super tight A-line skirts and/or super miniskirts. It will just accentuate your bottoms heaviness.
Too baggy tops. If you want to wear big shirts, just tuck it in.
Don't invest right away on pricey pleated skirts, if you don't know what kind of pleats that suits you.
Don't risk on playing with patterns. Because these kind of skirts can be very dangerous if matched with the wrong top (they don't want to be played).
