Hey girl, hey. I am sharing with you today this pleated midi skirt styled 5 different ways. A pleated skirt is a closet staple and can be worn so many different ways! Here are 5 ways to wear a pleated skirt.
It is the best when you find a good clothing item that you can wear year round and with other items you already have in your closet. I have a total of 2 pleated skirts. Shocking right? This year I am planning on adding a black one as well.

This maroon pleated midi skirt is the cutest and its so affordable too! I found it at Target. I love shopping at Target for cute clothes.
It comes in other colors as well, but don’t worry, if you are catching this at a later date, I will link some other pleated skirts down below as well.
Have you seen these mini pleated skirts come back in style again? I used to wear these as a teen! These are just a few ways you can wear your pleated skirt.
Winter Inspired Look
The best thing about pleated skirts is that they can be worn year round. This look is inspired by the winter season. I paired it with a white fuzzy sweater and added a belt.
For the shoes I used heels but knee high boots are another option especially for colder days and nights. You could even pair them with some tights to keep warm.
This would be a cute Christmas option. It can be paired with a cute Christmas sweater too.
Fall Sweater
Leopard print is always in season in my opinion, but it seems like more women wear animal prints in the fall. As I have mentioned before in this leopard print post, it seems like everyone and their mom wears leopard in fall. To stand out, try a different animal print.
This zebra print sweater is perfect for the fall! Here in Houston, if we are lucky it gets slightly cool enough to wear a thin sweater every 5 days or so.
For this pleated midi skirt look I tucked in the sweater since it was thinner into the skirt, paired it with these nude heels.
This is such an easy outfit to put together. For a more casual option, try swapping out the heels with sneakers. Adding a mid length jacket for even colder nights would be a great option as well.
Try wearing a pleated skirt with a chunky over sized sweater too!
Buttoned Down Shirt
Transform this pleated skirt with a button down shirt. For this look I used a flannel shirt for a more casual style. For a work wear option, try adding a work button down shirt and heels.
The look I am sharing is more of a fall and Christmas look but any coordinating button down shirt would work for this look as well.
This flannel has been a staple for me this season! I will share all the ways I have styled it soon so stay tuned.
Valentine’s Day Inspired Look
Valentine’s Day seems so far away right now but as time flies by, it will be here in no time! For this look, I styled the maxi pleated skirt with a blush pink lace camisole.
This cami comes in so many other colors and will be available to a long time! They occasionally go on sale for nearly half the price, but even the regular price isn’t too bad for a closet staple.
Pleated skirt: Casual Style Option
Going for a more casual option? Try adding a graphic tee to this pleated midi skirt. You could even add band tee and a faux leather jacket. I haven’t been able to shoot this one yet, but I will try to get it up here soon.
