Pleated Skirts: FAQs

What top goes with a pleated skirt?

A fitted knit and a tucked shirt keep the waist defined so the pleats can move.

What shoes go with a pleated midi skirt?

Knee boots and loafers in winter, and slingbacks and trainers in spring.

How do you keep pleats sharp?

Hang the skirt by its waist, steam it gently, and have it professionally pressed when the pleats soften.

Are pleated skirts flattering?

Yes; pleats fall from a flat waistband and skim the hips.

What is the difference between knife and box pleats?

Knife pleats all face one way for a slim line; box pleats fold towards each other for more volume.
