When it comes to versatile fashion staples, pleated skirt outfits stand out for their timeless elegance and adaptability across all seasons.

Whether you're dressing for a crisp autumn day or a sunny summer afternoon, here’s a guide on how to wear a pleated skirt for every season.

Styling Pleated Skirts for Spring

Spring is the best time to incorporate lighter colors and fabrics. Floral patterns would also be darling at this time of year as a pleated skirt.  

Styling tips: 

Our Minnesota springs aren’t always predictable- having a few light colored sweaters on hand to mix and match with pleated skirts will help with the transition. For really chilly spring days you can throw a light wash denim jacket over the sweater. 

Sneakers would be the perfect shoe for the chill spring days. Warmer spring days (maybe for those of you outside of MN) sandals or ballet flats play together beautifully with the elegance of the skirt. 

Styling Pleated Skirts for Summer

Pleated skirts in the summer are a must. The delegate look the pleats add pairs beautifully with the summer weather. 

Styling tips: 

Opt in for a light airy and fabric to beat the heat. Bright colors are a summer staple and will help your skirt stand out.

Swap out the sweaters that paired with your skirt in the spring months for an Essential Crew Basic Tee. Minnesota girls, dust off your sandals and flats,  you will be needing them! 

Styling Pleated Skirts for Fall

Fall is all about layering and rich, warm colors. Transition your pleated skirt into the fall season with cozy knits and structured layers.

Styling tips: 

Styling pleated skirts in fall is all about layering and transiting. This Pink Pleated Floral Satin Maxi Skirt is the PERFECT transitional summer to fall piece. Earth tones and rich colors are fall staples and this skirt plays into them just enough. 

Chunky knit cardigans and denim jackets are fall layering classics and that is no different when pleats are involved. 

Styling Pleated Skirts for Winter

It is crucial in winter to balance warmth and style. Pleated skirts can be styled to maintain style while incorporating warmth. 

Styling Tips:

Similar to fall, in winter it is important to layer. A fitted sweater creates a perfect base for layering. This Light Pink Soft Open Coat is the perfect layering piece for winter months.
