Spring
is fast approaching, and it’s high time to start getting ready for the
warm weather. I know — it's freezing out, and it seems a little crazy
to be daydreaming about spring clothes. But this Spring/Summer is all
about bright colours and bold prints.
So, it’s the right time to ditch the dark and heavy Winter clothes and
go for something colourful and trendy, must-have pieces of the season.
Pleats:
Whether
they have knife, box pleats, accordion, or superfine crystal pleats,
these precisely folded tops, bottoms, and dresses take on a
sophistication that goes beyond the pleats on private-school uniforms.
they are romantic-looking, feminine and just plain fabulous. Pleated
skirts come in different lengths, fabrics and colours, and the
possibilities of how to wear a pleats are pretty much limitless.
Pleats
are flattering to many body shapes, making them a great spring fashion
trend! Pleats create volume without being bulky or accentuating bulges.
The vintage-style pleats follow the body lines to flatter curves.
pleats
create a breezy look as they are featured on long maxi dresses or
short, flowing skirts. Both skirt lengths are trending this spring.
Pleats also accentuate the flared pants that are popular this spring;
the pants create the appearance of long legs as hemlines fall to the
length of the floor.
For
dresses, the pleats accentuate curves and define feminine style for
spring. The pleats are matched with wide belts that replace the thin
ones popular earlier in the year.
Pair
the pleated skirt and cinched waist with a crisp white shirt to create a
flirty, fun look. Layer the shirt with a light sweater if spring
weather in the local area is cooler and pair the outfit with a pair of
colourful pumps.
Pleats
are a major fashion trend for spring. Even some handbags include
pleats! Wear these pieces in bright, bold shades and use colour blocking
as well to make a great fashion statement this spring.
