For this month’s style tips, we’ll be discussing different ways to style a long pleated skirt. I’ve recently developed a love for pleated skirts, but they can be a bit tricky to style! It’s not a very forgiving article of clothing. You truly need to know if it works for your body type and height! Style tip<\/strong>! Typically if you’re on the shorter side, long skirts and dresses will actually make you look shorter so it’s better to opt for a shorter skirt. However, if you love it and don’t mind, then by all means you ROCK that pleated skirt! \ud83d\ude42 I’d also be careful with ‘cheaper’ options for this item.

Whenever I see a pleated skirt on someone else, it’s often a dressier look. Well, it doesn’t have to be! You can easily throw it on with a graphic tee, some sneakers\/flats, and call it good. It’s feminine, fun, but still casual. It’s a great alternative to the basic pair of jeans if you’re wanting to look nicer, but not fully dress up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tend to be a little extra, so I paired mine with some heels (which you can switch out!) and a vintage silk scarf tied around my neck. I can’t tell you how badly I wanted to run down the streets and live out my twirling fantasies! However cobble stones + heels = disaster… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
