Pleated skirts, especially those in the midi to ankle length
category, can oftentimes feel either dowdy and dated or too prim and
proper, If you're on the fence or just plain stumped
on how to wear the time-tested style, I suggest you turn your
attention to chic trendsetters who have managed to reinvent the pleated
skirt with just a few modern updates.

Pleats can feel a bit old-fashioned, so to change it up, take a page from style master Jamie Chung's
book. Pair a black and white midi-length striped version with a classic
denim button-up. Since a tailored dress shirt can teeter on too covered
up, soften the look by skipping a few buttons for a sexy, yet elegant
flash of skin.

Mixing prints is tricky, but if you hit the mark, you can look like bombshell Kat Graham.
Avoid getting lost in a sea of fabrics by pairing a colorful,
micro-pleated flouncy skirt with a solid color, structured crop top to
help define your shape. Metallic pumps and grown-up pigtail braids keep
the look fresh and youthful.

Beyoncés baby sis Solange Knowles
throws it back to the '70s in all her burnt-orange glory. The metallic
bronze skirt, gold strappy sandals and shimmery bronze makeup are broken
up by a peachy, fitted shell. Top it off with voluminous teased hair
for a polished look that screams disco-ready.

Kristen Wiig
sure knows how to make an appearance. When you go with a floor-length,
pleated number, you have to take measures not to venture into too-formal
territory. Keep it simple with a bright, loose-fitting sheath on top
for a relaxed take on dressy. A sun-kissed tan and tousled wavy hair are
also a welcomed casual vibe.

Selena Gomez
looks as posh as ever in this all-season appropriate pairing. Team a
grey sweater with a black leather skirt for a color combo that falls in
the neutrals bracket. With two-strap, black, slip-on mules and timeless
aviators, you're out the door in style.
There you have it?
