How to Style a Pleated Skirt
Bottom
A pleated skirt works because it holds structure while staying easy to style — especially when you ground it with pieces that add intention. Pairing it with a leather jacket or silk blouse keeps the outfit from reading too precious, while loafers and a structured tote anchor the look with polish. Even a baseball cap lands well here, cutting any risk of the skirt feeling overly dressed.
