Fashion + 50 years: pleats on my clothes! : Current Woman Le MAG

Not always easy to take on these folds that seem a bit outdated? No, brought up to date, they are beautifully available on the favorite pieces of your wardrobe. More modern, more colorful, these clothes have everything to please and will enchant your summer.

The pleated skirt

First you have to choose the right length! Exit the models above the knee, which give a little look "preppy " English schoolgirl. Ditto for the too long versions, a bit bohemian, which pack the silhouette. As you can see, the ideal pleated skirt stops at the knee for an impeccable fall. Question morphology, it will be your ally if you have wide hips because its high waist will elegantly hide your small flaws. Suddenly, it can easily be mixed with all your T-shirts, tops, denim shirts or fine woollens that you will slip into your skirt, adding a belt like an Obi model to tie. For a trendy touch, wear it with a pair of comfortable sneakers or rope wedge sandals. Finally, it can be worn in the city as well as in the evening, adorned with brilliant accessories or in the summer version by the beach, accompanied by flip-flops and a straw bag.

The pleated dress

When the folds invite themselves on the dresses, they gain momentum and are suitable for all body types. Opt for models with vitamin tones to enhance your complexion, such as orange, yellow or green, very prominent this season. The knee-length dress, tightened at the waist or belted to properly structure the silhouette, will always be more elegant. Book the long version for summer evenings. As for accessories, avoid sneakers and favor pretty flat or heeled sandals. Finally, to assert a look "French Riviera", add a natural straw capeline and movie star sunglasses.

The pleated top

For a city look, the pleats are not only the prerogative of skirts or dresses, but they also dress up tops. If you want to add a touch of couture to your figure, go for a wispy pleated top with balloon or shorter sleeves. It will modernize your look if you wear it with jeans or ankle length cigarette pants. Then, depending on your style, opt for sneakers, sandals or chic sandals. Anything is possible as long as the style is not lacking. We love the fluidity and lightness that pleats can give to a silhouette. These are the ultimate summer clothes to wear without moderation, because they offer a style without wrinkles and a perfect look. Think about it!
