The recent evolution of the pleated skirt trend
It’s been around forever and seems to be eternally youthful. Can you guess who it is? We’re talking about that pleated, schoolgirl skirt, of course! This winter, more than ever, it’s been showing up on every It girl’s feed. Even the Grammy winner, singing about “It girls”, wore this trend just a couple of weeks ago. Taylor Swift showed up at Travis Kelce’s game, wearing a plaid pleated skirt, while pairing it with a gray Chiefs sweatshirt and a beanie. One may argue that consequently, the Chiefs defeated the Patriots that day…
Miu miu’s Y2K inspired, pleated micro-mini skirt, was introduced in spring 2022 during Paris Fashion Week and became viral. Now it seems this trend has evolved to include a more decent and classic version of this item.
How to wear it
While being a symbol of the office wear’s increased popularity, the pleated skirt has always been the light, sexy side of that fashion style. So you can pair the office skirt, or it’s Sporty tennis skirt version, with some oversized sweatshirt or sweater, add a cool pair of sheer tights, and you’re good to go!
You can also replace the the sweater with a solid color top and add on a blazer. As a result, you’ll obtain a more elegant look:
However, if you’re looking for a more casual layered look – you can exchange the blazer for a long comfy cardigan or a long coat. And don’t forget to add a cool pair of sneakers!
