What are the tips on styling a pleated skirt? 

We love to see people wearing their pleated skirts around. However, there are some tips that you should be mindful of while styling with this skirt.

Pleated skirts highlight the waist and create a slimming effect. It helps to tuck in the top to accentuate the effect. A belt is recommended to cinch the waist if your top is worn outside the skirt.

The balancing of colour is important as well. You can pair your patterned skirts with a solid colour top or a bright skirt with a neutral or toned down top to get a perfect colour balance.

Heels are commonly worn with pleated skirts, but sneakers and flats can be your alternative choice if you are looking to have a casual or a moderate look. You can also pair pleated skirts with ankle boots to add some length while wearing a midi or maxi pleated skirt too.
