Out of all the skirts I own, a neutral pleated skirt is my favorite. They’re feminine, easy to dress up or down, and super flattering. I’ve put together four pleated skirt outfit formulas for you to copy!

I found THIS PLEATED SKIRT at H&M last year and it’s back this year! It’s so gorgeous and classic. I wear a slip underneath because it’s a little sheer in the cream color.

1. Wear your pleated skirt to a dressy event!

A pleated skirt is a great option for a dressy event. Throw it on with a gorgeous blouse and heels, and you have a stunning outfit!

2. Try your pleated skirt for work

A pleated skirt is classic, classy, and sophisticated. Add a button up shirt to the outfit, add some practical and chic shoes, add a blazer or jacket (if needed) and you have a great work outfit.

3. Pleated skirts are gorgeous with a half tucked sweater

We’re heading out of sweater weather, but if you have a lightweight sweater you have to try it with a pleated skirt. A little half tuck in the front (or a whole tuck works too) is stunning and simple.

4. Try dressing down your pleated skirt!

If you add casual shoes and a casual top to a pleated skirt, it can instantly dress it down. I added a graphic tee and fun sneakers and I absolutely love this outfit.
