Workplace wardrobe revival: Pleated skirts reemerge, offering a blend of elegance and utility

In the world of fashion, the pleated skirt is making a comeback, transforming from a school uniform staple to a chic wardrobe essential. This trend is gaining popularity among influencers, street stylers, and top brands alike.

Miu Miu's checked skirt is a hit among the fashion elite, while Mango's pleated style is suitable for the work wardrobe. For those seeking a sporty twist, elasticised minis paired with T-shirts and trainers are part of the tenniscore trend. The gingham trend, reminiscent of school days, adds a playful touch to spring-summer wardrobes.

For those looking to experiment, consider black and grey tones, check and tartan prints, or different fabrics like denim or leather for a more statement update. Acne Studio's tartan skirt, designed to look like fuzzy wool, is a standout choice that won't overheat.

The chocolate brown skirt is suitable for wear now through to the colder months, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Róhe's midi skirt with larger-sized boxed pleats that maintain their shape while moving is another stylish option.

The pleated skirt trend is not limited to spring and summer. For Autumn Winter 2025, pleated skirts are set to be embraced in even more variations. Pair them with fluffy jackets for a cosy look, or opt for check pleated skirts reminiscent of Scottish kilts and vintage punk designs.

Tweed and tailoring, worn alongside pleated skirts and loafers, are part of the grown-up twist on traditional school style (dark academia trend). Cardigans, once considered uninspiring, now have the cool girls' approval in cropped lengths, sheer iterations, and classic styles.

Top brands commissioned for pleated skirts for spring/summer 2025 include Pleats Please Issey Miyake, Maison Margiela, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Saint Laurent, Versace, and The Attico, among other luxury and designer labels.

Pleated skirts were a firm favourite among street stylers at Copenhagen Fashion Week, with many opting for mini styles, barn jackets, T-shirts, and loafers. This lightweight knit style is a potential staple for Autumn Winter.

In conclusion, the pleated skirt is shaking off its sartorial stuffiness and is becoming a must-have item in any fashion-forward individual's wardrobe. From the runway to the streets, this trend is here to stay. Keep scrolling to see more of the best pleated skirts ready to shop right now.
