The skirt, the staple diet of the Autumn trends, the must have of winter. But which skirt style is for you? I'm not talking length - I'm not talking fabric, I'm talking PLEATS.
I'm sure you all own a pleated skirt but this season we are being struck by various types of pleat. Depending on the weather and depending on your outfit - there's a skirt for everyone.
1. Contra pleat ( Ted Baker £119 ) - The contra pleat is my current personal favourite, these extremely pleated skirts use contrasting colours to add depth to the material and create unique and interesting garments. They're naturally a statement piece so no need to worry too much about the rest of your outfit. This particular piece is great with the shades of grey accentuating the length of the leg, simply add knee high boots to create the on trend 70's vibe.
2. Traditional pleat ( Jaeger £165 ) - This style is the traditional style of the pleated skirt, with a loose fitting creased pattern making an a-line skirt all of a sudden a statement piece. We see this in both mini and maxi styles. The piece I have shown here is Jaeger's take on the traditional look, taking a knee length skirt and making a classy feminine look.
3. Inverted pleat ( ASOS £30 ) - This ASOS example shows the inverted pleat. The inverted pleat is essentially the box pleat in reverse, making the depth of the pleat on the inside of the skirt rather than the outside. This type of skirt comes in various materials, leatherette's and silks are used on a regular basis as they exhibit the pleat the best.
