Did you know that this autumn the pleated skirt will be a hit? Styles with a pleat, popular in the 80s, don't have to have a vintage vibe. If you're not keen on nods to past decades, we have a few modern suggestions for you. Find out what to pair a pleated skirt with. The autumn/winter styles will surely appeal to you!
The pleated skirt became popular in the 80s. In those years, skirts of this type were made of heavy and thick materials. You can find more about this decade in the article "Power Dressing Style: the power and nonchalance of the 80s".
The pleats for 2021 are completely different: light, modern, and worn with an idea: unlike those from the 80s, they don't have to add volume and centimeters to the hips at all. Are you considering a pleated skirt? Elegant, classy and extremely feminine styles, both for work and after hours - this is what we propose in this short compilation. Pay attention to the three outfits from Vitkac fashion house and decide on the skirt whose style you like the most.
Pleated skirt: elegant style like Balmain
If you want to wear a pleated skirt, elegant styles with a pleated, light blue Balmain skirt will be just right. Such a skirt can be combined with other elements in cool, subdued colors: a beige top from Michael Kors on straps and a blazer from AllSaints, which you can boldly throw off after hours.

Perfect accessories for the Balmain skirt will be this Furla shoulder shopper in a light gray color, suede heels from Jimmy Choo and, matching the "pleated" skirt, silver Bottega Veneta earrings with ornate carvings.

What if you don't get along with heels and prefer bolder, unconventional outfits? For you, too, there will be a suitable pleated skirt. You can wear the OffWhite skirt to the cinema or to the vernissage of an exhibition. See for yourself.
Pleated skirt: avant-garde style like OffWhite
When you don't know what to wear, black is the solution to the problem. Just a few styling elements in this color, which vary e.g. in the texture of the material, and discreet jewelry, to create something interesting from black "nothing". You wouldn't be ashamed of such a styling with an OffWhite skirt, e.g. Annie Hall from Woody Allen's film of the same title. This model resembles a bit school skirts that girls wore in the 80s and 90s at the beginning of the school year. However, we combine this skirt with something other than a starched white shirt - with a tight striped Saint Laurent turtleneck.

The skirt is decorated with a logo embroidered with white thread. Besides, the only decorations and jewelry in this outfit is a panther, which sat on the frames of Anna Karin Karlsson glasses, and a silver plate, chain and buckle of Salvatore Ferragamo loafers. Not much, but the effect is extremely stylish. You can also put an interesting book under your arm. :-)

Pleated skirt: autumn 2021/winter 2022 style in color
Autumn is a great time to take out bright, energetic colors from the wardrobe. An asymmetrical and light Balenciaga skirt with small pleats will look great contrasted with a soft, cashmere Agnona turtleneck and a burgundy, rock'n'roll leather jacket from Acne Studios.

What about accessories? High-heeled boots will look great with a Balenciaga midi-length skirt, providing the right proportions. Such a skirt, combined with heeled shoes, will certainly not shorten the silhouette. Take a Tory Burch bag to your hand or shoulder, like the jacket, in burgundy.
