Cwardrobe heights. To start again without any stress in the new year, fresh and clouded by the holidays, the secret is to focus on some undisputed must-haves. Among these, the pleated skirtblack or dark, the seasonal protagonist of the outfit.
In winter or spring, it doesn’t matter: what matters is to always have it within reach of the wardrobe, to resolve any Hamlet-like doubts in no time.
Where we saw her
A passe-partout piece that often reappears on the catwalk: and in fact the everlasting trend has also been spotted at Autumn-Winter 2023/2024 fashion shows. How to recognize it: straight and slightly flared cut, high waist, thickly pleated. The thin folds radiate from the belt and then open along the entire length: a light and vaporous effect accentuated by the movement, which gives gracefulness to the outfit despite the dark tones. Plissé soleil, the French define it: precisely because the cut and folds mimic the sun’s rays. Every fabric is valid, as long as it has a certain thickness and remains rather rigid.

The black pleated skirt spotted on the catwalk of Sacai it is a shining example to keep in mind when choosing your next midi skirt, perhaps taking advantage of the 2024 winter sales. The nylon material, the knee-length midi length and the patch and concealed pockets give the skirt a touch utility trendy, which transforms it from a romantic piece to an emblem of a refined rock style.
How to match the pleated midi skirt in 2024
The final result in the outfit can be achieved with any pleated midi skirt, black or dark. What to match with to have the same allure, elegant but not too much, rigorous but with a decisive attitude? First of all, the mix with a short sweater matching crew neck creates a visual contrast of character, which also has the advantage of slimming the figure. Two weights and two measures: the cropped knit can be worn, like on the catwalk, over a light turtleneck, to make the combination stand out even more – and gain a layer of warmth which, in winter, doesn’t hurt.

It goes without saying that with this ensemble the ideal shoe is a amphibian leather, classic, chunky and/or as high as a cuissard, for those who want to stand out. The choice of a high boot overcomes climate problems and slims down the calves: to be considered even in the more traditional guise, with heel or flat, to bring the look back to the daily level and also make it suitable for office corridors.
Yes why It’s really time to get back to fighting: and with the stylish ally who never betrays, the return mission is decidedly simpler.
