A male object that has become an ode to a ladies silhouette
Like many other wardrobe items, a pleated skirt was originally the subject of a man’s suit, or rather, its roots go back to the things that the Pharaohs must wear. Gradually, Egyptian warriors began to imitate their overlord, from whom the pleated skirt was borrowed by other peoples.
Over the following centuries, this style was either forgotten or returned again until the 19th century arrived. It was then that the pleated skirt firmly entered the romantic style of clothing that was becoming at that time.
Time passed, and today a pleated skirt has become a universal wardrobe item due to the combination of length, fabric and color
Many faces
To choose your pleated skirt is quite simple, it is enough to know the little tricks inherent in each of its types.
Length . Mini knee-length is suitable for young women and girls. The length to the knee (of course, with the plug at a distance in the palm of your hand) is ideal for the office and for school uniforms. A pleated skirt on the floor is designed for all beautiful ladies to create one of the city images or business casual.
The material . Traditionally, woolen and chiffon fabrics are used for pleated skirts . But most fashion designers prefer to expand this set with knitwear (for winter models) and silk, linen, cotton (for summer options).
Based on these two characteristics, a look should be formed.
Winning images
A pleated skirt looks best in casual style. To create your everyday urban look, it’s enough to pick up a midi model of a gentle pastel color and combine it with a white cotton top, a gray thin elongated cardigan, as well as sandals and a bag of bright metallic shades.
It is worth noting that the more “lightweight” version created for the hot summer also looks interesting. To do this, you need a skirt, the pleated model of which has a knee-length or floor length, a chiffon or silk top and massive jewelry.
For a working wardrobe, a knee-length skirt will be indispensable. In the business kit, you should avoid the "overload" of the image. And therefore, you need to combine a skirt with plain turtlenecks, sweaters or classic blouses.
For bolder ladies, designers recommend creating an image with a pleated skirt, built on oppositions. So, thin floor-length chiffon and silk models are complemented by elegant high-heeled shoes or ankle boots and massive sweaters and cardigans. This option is ideal for fans of the street chic style.
No matter how beaten the pleated skirt in the image, it is worth remembering that it is always the center of the composition. Therefore, you should know the two rules of combination.
Rule 1 The floor skirt should be solid. Then it will be easy to combine with other prints that make up the image of objects.
Rule 2 The office skirt of this style is best picked up by midi lengths. Of course, this does not apply to creative workshops.
A pleated skirt is a very feminine wardrobe item and just as “moody”. Therefore, a tastefully selected set will emphasize the style of its owner.
