A pleated skirt will always be on trend, and it will go with almost anything for a quick put-together outfit idea. When you wear these type of skirts, they are always great with a plain top to make the skirt stand out. They also are perfect for spring and summer weather where you want something that is comfortable and won’t make you burn in the summer heat. Even though these are amazing and many women can wear them, sometimes people make certain mistakes when wearing skirts with pleats.
If you want to find out what mistakes to avoid when wearing a pleated skirt, as well as give you some style ideas, then keep on reading.
Wearing The Wrong Underwear
Many women tend to wear the wrong underwear when wearing pleated skirts and this could be embarrassing. Depending on the type of material of the skirt you can sometimes see the elastic of the underwear and it could mess up the whole look. The last thing we want is people to be able to see our underwear.
Also if you’re wearing bright-colored underwear too you can see the color through the skirt. So when wearing these skirts stick to the no-show panties with no lining and neutral colors.
Wrong For Your Body Type
Not every pleated skirt is going to look good on everyone, sometimes we look at the model and it’ll look great on her but on us completely different. This is why brands are using models of all shapes so we can see how merchandise looks on all types. In some pleated skirts, the waistband might be too tight on our curves, or the material of the skirt might make our curves stand out more. So be careful when buying these and make sure they go with your body shape.
Choosing the Incorrect Length
One of the many rules of fashion is that if you are short, you shouldn’t wear long skirts because maxi skirts will make you look even shorter. So if you aren’t very tall, try to wear pleated skirts that are above the knee to avoid your legs being covered up. They also will make your legs stand out more!
Matching it With a Bad Top
Pleated skirts are definitely stylish which is why you shouldn’t have to worry too much about your top. Usually, when wearing a bottom that stands out you should stick to a plain blouse or shirt on top so the look isn’t overwhelming.
Wearing a Bad Pattern Pleated Skirt
Some of these skirts will come in different styles, some are plaid or just a solid color. Sometimes not all of these patterns will look good on us so make sure your paying attention to which patterns look good on you. Plaid for example, not a lot of people can pull it off and will kill the whole look. Pay attention to different patterns and how they look on you to avoid this.
Look Out For the Wrong Weather
These types of skirts when you walk flow with the wind, so try not to wear them in certain weathers. If it’s a day where there is a lot of wind you might want to wear something else because if not your going to have to be holding the skirt down. It’s also a skirt that’s better for summer or spring when you can wear it with a cute cardigan or jacket.
Horrible Material
A lot of stores that women shop in might sell pleated skirts made with bad material. The cheap fabrics will make the skirt look awful and not very stylish. Make sure when your shopping for these that you are feeling the material and seeing how it makes you look.
How to Rock a Pleated Skirt for Every Season (in Every Color)
