Pleats a Plenty!

{American Apparel}

This spring it's all about lady like looks and what could possibly more ladylike than a pleated skirt?! However, pleats can sometimes be difficult for some women to wear. They may feel that if they are a little heavy in the hip area then a pleated skirt is out of the question. But this is simply not true! Just pair it with a longer style jacket or a flattering wrap style blouse that can be worn on the outside of the skirt. This will flatter your hips and elongate your body. The pleats create a fun flirty look. Think pleats are old fashioned and remind you of your grandmother? Well, who says that's a bad thing?? Grandma was quite stylish in her day! Now it's your turn to put your spin on the pleat. How will you wear this trend this spring?
