#trendlooks

I am loving the metallic pleat skirt mini trend that is sprinkling off that catwalk and into the stores right now.  It was here a couple of years ago but didn’t really take off…. but there is something a little different this time around so…. I AM EXCITED! 

It is exciting because this season the new twist is not only about wearing metallic pleated skirts in a dressy manner, but you can also casualize the look (and YES….whist continuing to have a chic and en trend vibe).  Remember to pick the style that works for YOU.  Super romantic and whimsical, to a feminine edgy style, to casual la femme. Go with that fits in with your style mantra and lifestyle and OWN it. 

Style Tips

- The key is to be careful not to over style and allow the skirt speak for itself. 

- Pair with simple black or white cami and pumps or mules for a dressy look

- Chose a length that compliments your height and shape.  Long skirts can sometimes look like they are gobbling up shorter frame gals and flowy silhouettes can be all too overwhelming. Go for short or just below the knee styles.  Taller frames can go for longer.  

- The most flattering position for your skirt to sit is at the waist above the hips or wherever your most slimmest part of your waist area is.

- For a casual song from look, pair with Tees (conversation tees/printed can work too) and white or black sneakers. NOTE: (make sure your sneakers are super clean to maintain a sophisticated cool look.  Dirty kick are a no no ladies….cool edgy elegance is what we are after here…got it? )

- Oversized plain knits with an ankle boot for a wintery casual look

- Team up with outerwear such as fitted or boyfriend blazers, satin bombers, longline felt coats.
