Pleated skirt on the floor: is it relevant this summer?
In the spring and summer of 2017, pleated skirts are again in trend. This time, the designers slightly pushed into the background the daring length of the mini, pushing maxi and midi to the favorites of the season. The characteristic pleated pleated pleats can look impressive on almost any material, however, for the warmer months, we recommend that you give preference to chiffon, silk and other lightweight materials. A double chic and an accurate hit in fashion trends this summer will be considered a skirt with a metallic sheen. In the picture you see a photo from a fashion show. The pleated skirts presented on them are combined and combine several textures at once: the effect of a compressed material, lace. The general idea of how to wear a long pleated skirt this summer is also reflected.
Does a pleated maxi length skirt suit everyone?
So, you are delighted with the even folds of the pleated skirt and certainly want to see it in your wardrobe, and in a variation of maxi length. However, the first thing to think about is how successful such a choice will be for your figure. The style is in fact not capricious, but there are several significant nuances that should not be overlooked. Learn all about a pleated maxi skirt before you buy it. Stylists on this issue give the following recommendations.
- A pleated skirt to the floor is full, adding a few centimeters of the waist and hips. This should be remembered by women with magnificent forms. It is best to opt for a skirt of a different style, for example, A-silhouette.
- Vertical folds visually stretch the figure, add growth. The paradox of a pleated skirt is that this property only works on girls with average height and above average. Short ladies should refrain from buying this model. If you like pleated, give preference to the length of the midi, which is also relevant.
What to wear?
A long pleated skirt in the wardrobe is a fairly wide field for a fashionable “activity”. Depending on what you add to it, you can create a romantic, casual, evening look or in the style of sporty chic. There will be no problems with the choice, since almost every brand in its new collections has maxi-skirts in pleated floor: Quelle, H&M, Mango, Zara, etc.
It is mistakenly believed that this model is only suitable for summer. A floor pleated skirt will be relevant in the spring and autumn. Even in winter it is possible to wear it, but you need to choose the right material and color. A pleated long skirt harmonizes with many basic things: leather jackets, shirts, shirts, blouses, sweaters and sweaters.
So, we offer you six options for a stylish and relevant combination of this model with other elements of the wardrobe. Use, change and transform!
Option number 1: with a leather jacket
Just a couple of years ago, the streets of our big country were full of girls and women in a pleated skirt on the floor. Acid shades, cheap fabrics, poor tailoring and a standard black leather jacket - all this “made” the bad glory of this model. Her lightness, beauty and charm were lost. How not to repeat the same mistakes? Carefully approach the choice of color, give preference to good materials. A high-quality pleated skirt on the floor will serve you more than one season and will not lose its relevance.
As for the leather short jacket, it is absolutely out of place here. Black, blue, brown, any. Color harmony is important. The image with a leather jacket is contrasted a priori due to the difference in materials. The color palette should be selected carefully.
On the first photo you see a light and delicate spring look with a pink pleated skirt and a short plum shade jacket, on the second - an urban and more casual set in pastel colors.
Option number 2: with a regular T-shirt or t-shirt
The airy and flying pleated skirt on the floor will be in perfect harmony with a regular tank top. A striking example of the relevance of such a combination is the image of actress Jennifer Lawrence (photo above). Neutral tones, chiffon and knitwear - all this "works" 100%. In case of cool weather, just throw a bulky sweater or sweater over your shoulders.
The t-shirt option is also quite simple. Please note that the classic combination of gray and white is used. In addition, the T-shirt is partially tucked in, there is a belt and this allows you not to lose the waistline.
Option number 3: with soft, loose sweaters and sweaters
To create a romantic look, the pleated pleated skirt in the floor is ideal for this season. With what to wear it to emphasize fragility and femininity? The answer is simple - with loose and voluminous sweaters and sweaters. In this case, we again see the original combination of lightweight fabric and coarse wool. For example, a pleated skirt with a floral print, which, incidentally, is also in trend this summer, is easily complemented by a loose top in a deep blue shade. He is supported by flowers in tone on the hem.
This image is designed for the colder season. A long pleated skirt is not the best option for winter, for this period we recommend replacing it with a midi length. However, spring or fall is the time. A modest but stylish urban look. In this kit you will be convenient and comfortable. Here we see that the voluminous black jacket with a high collar is not tucked in, but is worn on the issue. However, a short fur vest emphasizes the waistline.
Option number 4: with a shirt
Complementing the long pleated skirt with a shirt, you will create a set for the office: moderately strict, but in the summer light and charming. The top can be completely different both in style and in color. The only thing that stylists recommend is not to wear a shirt for graduation, but only tucked and it is best to emphasize the waist line with a neat strap.
A universal option that is recommended to everyone and everyone is a white cotton or silk shirt of a classic cut. Pale blue, as if borrowed from a men's wardrobe, is also allowed. With such a top you will never lose, since the bottom can have absolutely any color.
A combination of light pleated skirt with denim is not inferior in popularity. It can be represented as a denim jacket or a shirt. We are for the second option due to the fact that it is the most summer. For example, as in the photo above. Blue denim is complemented by a neutral beige skirt and stylish leather accessories.
A skirt as light as a feather in the photo, pale pink, will be a great alternative to a dress or jeans in the hot summer. To create a stylish urban look, complement it with the same weightless shirt in pastel colors, possibly with an unobtrusive print. The nobility and elegance of the kit is given by leather accessories (handbag, belt) and shoes.
Option number 5: with a white sleeveless blouse
Alternatively, on a very hot summer day - a white blouse or sleeveless T-shirt. Pay attention to the picture. Classic wedding staged photo. How difficult it is sometimes for bridesmaids to choose a color, because they are all different. The solution is universal - a white top and any bottom. A pleated skirt is suitable for almost everyone, it is easy to sew it, possessing even minimal knowledge in cutting and sewing.
Option number 6: with a tight top
A fitted blouse, turtleneck, slim cardigan will look great with a flying pleated skirt on the floor. In the photo above, a bold version in which there is nothing extraordinary or unusual, but nevertheless it looks great. Its main highlight is a skirt of fuchsia color, clean and bright, which is complemented by a neutral and modest turtleneck of a graphite shade.
A floor pleated skirt can be a great alternative to an evening gown. Pay attention to the photo: a neat and tight-fitting top is in complete harmony with the bottom. At the same time, the skirt is quite simple, there is no splendor, which is a plus. Its main highlight is the dark color on the inner surface of the folds, which creates an interesting visual effect when moving.
If you want to keep up with fashion trends, do not copy them blindly and recklessly. Give preference to what can "settle" in your wardrobe for at least 2-3 seasons. In particular, again pleated skirt pleated to the floor this summer. What is the best way to wear this style, we told you, offering at least five options.
