WHY PLEATS ARE THE KEY TO YOUR WARDROBE

Pleats do not ever seem to go out of style and they have been reappearing on the fashion scene for decades. This flattering design has been a royal staple for as long as I can remember.

This timeless and feminine style continues to inspire designers and influencers this season adding not only fluidity of movement but also a sense of grace and elegance to outfits.

Let’s take a look as to why this trend constantly boomerangs in and out of fashion.

FEMININE

As a synonym of sensuality, the tight and sinuous pleat became the signature style of Marilyn Monroe (who wouldn’t remember one of the best-known scenes in the movie The Seven Year Itch).

Pleats provides maximum impact as they generate not only more movement but also a more fluctuating silhouette as it expands and contracts. The pleated skirt is one of the most flattering and girlie styles evoking an image of elegant and sensual fashion.

VERSATILE

Pleated style is incredibly versatile and there are a number of different lengths and colours to choose from, whatever style suits you the best.

Pleats can be dressed up or down and easily transitioned from day-time looks to night with flats during the day and kitten heels for a more petite frame and higher heels to elongate a curvier figure.

EXPENSIVE LOOK AT AFFORDABLE PRICES

If you find yourself searching for ways to trick people into thinking you spent more on your outfit than you really did, pleated clothing is the new luxe look.

The unique pleated structure with a variety of available pleats, lengths and hues it’s definitely more eye-catchy than most one dimensional fabrics. They’re the perfect way to bring movement and drama to an outfit.

The crinkled effect obscures any wrinkles, so you always look fresh and put-together even if you’ve been wearing the garment all day long.

AGELESS

Yet the greatest quality about pleats is that they are sophisticated and age appropriate for women both young and older.

EAT ALL YOU CAN

Pleats are used to create volume in a garment and they allow for freedom of movement and airflow within a garment. Thanks to the many pleats you can hide the flaws of the figure or make the figure even more perfect, which many ladies will be very happy.

But when it comes to styling, be careful with proportions. As pleats add volume to your silhouette it’s wise to balance things out like styling a pleat skirt with a slim-fit top.

If there is a trend you definitely don’t want to miss this season, then it’s a pleated skirt. Pleated skirts and dresses express class, and you cannot help but fall in love with this design.
