Pleats are the secret miracle workers of the fashion industry. These guys can change the silhouette of a garment, make something more figure-flattering and add a whole lotta visual interest to an outfit. While we’ve already professed our adoration of accordion pleats, there are a ton more players in this pleat-filled game (box, knife and penny, to name a few). Here are 17 fabulous ways for you to fall in love with ’em all.
Pleated Midi Skirt in Floral Print
midi would be great for a fun summer outing. We’re lovin’ the color scheme of this outfit.
Loosen Up Pants
billowy pleated pants. Tuck in a cute blouse and you could absolutely wear these to work.
Saya Shorts in Print
awesome print, but these shorts are extremely pleated. As in, they’re completely made of pleated fabric.
Vintage in Shape Shorts
’80s, shall we? We’re seriously crushin’ on everything this outfit has to offer, from these fantastic shorts to those metallic sandals.
Big Box Pleat Skirt
New Years! Although, we’ll probably end up wearing it many, many times before that. Sometimes, all you need is a single pleat (and a little gold).
