The pleated skirt is reminiscent of schoolgirl outfits. It is one of the basics of the preppy style dear to Blair Waldorf in the Gossip Girl series.
This must-have for women’s wardrobes is making a comeback this spring. The pleated skirt adapts to all body types, provided you find the right model and accessorize it well. It will also be necessary to choose the right length and the right cut according to its silhouette.
Explanations with 6 skirts to shop at Boohoo, which is currently offering an exceptional 40% reduction on all its products.
The belted faux leather mini skirt at the heart of the trend
The Boohoo faux leather mini skirt brings an elegant touch with its matte finishes, metallic effects and asymmetric hems. Wear this belted pleated skirt with a close-fitting top, to show it off as much as possible. For an even more chic look, accessorize it with square-heeled sandals and a handbag in a matching color. It can also perfect more casual and sportswear looks, provided you combine it with white platform sneakers, a backpack and a cap.
Pleated midi skirt with leopard print
Leopard print is also making a comeback this season. It’s very trendy, provided you make it more casual than ever to avoid a fashion faux pas. No need to play the femme fatale card, the animal print loves simplicity. We bet on streetwear or sportswear pieces to give it back its nobility. We will therefore wear this pleated midi skirt with leopard print with a basic white T-shirt and sandals or flat tennis shoes in a solid color. Also bet on a maximum of accessories with a pair of white sunglasses and a short denim jacket for the first days of spring.
Sportswear-style pleated tennis skirt
Tennis players aren’t the only ones who can rock a pleated miniskirt. This season’s big trend, the pleated tennis skirt will be perfect with a shirt worn under a slightly loose sweatshirt, white socks, moccasins and a cap. For a preppy look, we opt for a university sweatshirt that features the name of an American team or faculty. We love the oversized Buffalo slogan sweatshirt. We give a feminine touch to the set with jewelry, such as earrings or pretty rings, and an elegant mini bag, to wear on the shoulder.
White pleated miniskirt
The white pleated mini skirt from the Petite range flatters petite women. With its perfect, slightly flared cut, it also hides curves at the hips. We avoid the total white look and we wear this skirt with a nude top to be right in the color trend of the season. In the evening, pair it with a draped bodysuit or a silky or satiny top and a faux leather biker jacket, for a nice retro effect. For shoes, go for black ankle boots or platform loafers for a rock or preppy look.
The pleated maxi skirt in silk muslin for a romantic look
Boohoo has clothes for all styles, all body types and all occasions. Elegant, the pleated chiffon maxi skirt is perfect for formal evenings and big festivities. For a chic style as desired, pair it with a black top, such as a corset or a racerback bodysuit, heeled sandals and a clutch, to be worn under the arm.
Beige pleated miniskirt
Adjusted at the waist, the beige pleated mini-skirt is the ally of fashionistas. This Spring-Summer 2023 must-have will enhance women of small or medium height, with shapely legs and slim waists. Combine it with a basic white top and a slightly loose camel blazer jacket, for a masculine-feminine look with the most beautiful effect. To give it style and fantasy, we opt for beige cowboy boots. They will give a boost to this fairly classic-looking skirt.
Each body type has its own style of pleated skirt
To balance your silhouette, remember to opt for the cut and the length of the skirt that suits your morphology. Don’t forget to highlight your strengths. If you have nice legs, prefer a short skirt. Short pleated skirts will suit 8 body shapes, while H silhouettes will prefer long pleated skirts.
Tall women with a slender body will prefer long skirts, as they will tend to highlight their slender silhouette.
Silhouettes with curves at the level of the belly will prefer, for their part, low-waisted skirts. High-waisted models tend to reveal the curves located at the hips.
Take advantage of the mini prices at Boohoo to find the trendy pleated skirt that will suit your body type and your style!
