The Pleat

April 27, 2012

Pleats are in many different garments, not just skirts. They look lovely and feminine in dresses and you never know, this style could make a perfectly practical summer outfit for you this year.

If you are looking for a dress for the summer, then you may be drawn to a blue sleeveless crochet collar pleated skirt dress with a striped top half. Combining this with heels and flats can turn it from a daytime to an evening look in no time. Combined with the correct accessories you could achieve many great looks with pleat dresses.

A bold blue pleat skirt dress in a halter neck style can be a great party dress. These delicate pleats mean that you dont want to be adding loads of bold accessories - instead combine this dress with platform black heels, a simple clutch bag and either a decorated ring or bracelet to add some bling.

Some of us loved the maxi dresses last year; once again it is a hit for a sophisticated summer look. You can now combine the two styles together and create a fabulous fashion piece. A pastel blue crinkle pleated maxi skirt combined with a plain black vest, a necklace with similar colours to the skirt, sandal wedges, a simple shoulder bag and a pair of sunglasses can turn out to be a perfect summer daytime outfit.

If you love the vintage look, then you may be intrigued by a dotty netted pleat skirt 50s style dress. This delicate-looking dress can be great for day and night-time occasions. Combining this with simple black heels, a vintage style clutch and simple jewellery may make your perfect summer outfit.
