Maxi, midi, bodycon, printed, layered…there has been tons of different trends when it comes to skirts. But one of the hottest ones this summer has to be the pleated skirt. It’s fun and it can easily be dressed up or dressed down. This Fashionista does a great job of styling her navy pleated skirt to be fun and casual for a day of hanging out on campus. The length of the skirt is perfect because it’s short enough for the hot, mid-summer weather, but still long enough so that she doesn’t have to worry about it being too revealing. The high-waisted look has also been popular for a while now and she pulled it together perfectly with the tucked in graphic T-shirt. Speaking of her T-shirt, how “RAD” is that?
The Fashionista’s T-shirt already took the outfit into a more casual direction, but what really pulled it together was the worn, classic Vans. The shirt and shoes complemented the pleated skirt in a way that made it look effortlessly cool. Her minimal jewelry and natural looking skin and hair also worked to make the look appear simple, trendy and cute.
The way she styled her pleated skirt shows that as long as you have the right skirt, you can still be just as casual and comfortable as you would be in a pair of shorts or pants. However, if she did want to dress up a little more, this same skirt could be warn with a form-fitted top and heels to give it a completely different look.
