Tips on how to pull off the pleated skirt:
1. Cut it short
Not all of us have long lean legs, so if you’re someone who isn’t that confident in height, then cut that skirt short.
2. Make yourself look preppy
The original idea of pleated skirts came from the preppy school-girl look – so if you want, keep it classic and get going with the preppy look.
3. Bold colours
Don’t just stick to the usual colours of black, dark blue and white, go crazy with the colours. Pick out a red, a yellow or if you dare, a hot pink would look really good too. But be sure that the colours also suit you’re skin tone.
5. Make sure it flatters
There are several different types of pleated skirts – so be sure to get the cutting that really suits your body shape. You don’t want it to look bad on you, right? Know want suits your body before you put it on and strut your stuff.
6. Pair it with heels
Wearing a skirt like a pleated skirt can some what be a little un-flattering to the legs because of all the clutter that it brings, so pair it up with heels and bring on the classy.
