Pleats are from the 90’s but they have somehow managed to stick around. This style is not generally accepted by all because it is believed that pleats don’t flatter figures and shapes. But they are wrong. Like every other thing fashionable, pleats come in different lengths, colours and styles.
Some of these styles include the box pleat, the foil pleat, hem pleats and so on. The rule to try them all and stick with that which works perfectly for your body shape, skin colour and height…obviously.
Most importantly, choose pleats that you love and feel confident and beautiful in. You can totally make them work for you as they are very versatile and can be worn for several occasions including work.
Wearing pleats to work
Here are some things to consider;
1. Accentuate your waist: It is essential to show off the waist band of this skirt otherwise you’ll just look shapeless. Showing off the waistband also gives you a slimming effect. So, whatever top you decide to wear with it should be tucked in.
2. Know what works for you: It is best to know the type of pleat that suits you. If you are curvy, go for a light weight pleat as this won’t add bulk to your hips. If you are not-so-tall, go with the styles that have a higher hemline in the middle as they won’t cut you off at the calve.
3. Heels: When wearing pleats to work, depending on the length of your piece, pair it with heels. This not only compliments your look, but also creates an illusion of height and class.
