Perfect styling of a metallic pleated skirt
by the fabulous Amanda Tur from A Fancy Affair
You know how much I love the continuing metallic trend. One of my favorite pieces to emerge from this shiny scene is the metallic pleated midi skirt. It is similar to a tulle skirt: weirdly able to skew casual even though it's fancy. As for the midi length? It's both flirty and demure at the same time.
But don't take my word for it. Here's what Natalie Matthews, Senior Editor of Elle Magazine, recently said:
"For a statement piece, it's weirdly versatile: with sneakers and a T-shirt to a party or with heels and a silk camisole for a wedding. Of course, the look became sort of a trendy thing last year, with Gucci and Proenza doing their own versions of metallic pleated midi skirts and fast fashion brands like ASOS following suit. For me, it's a piece that's got staying power."
Fashion multitasking? Win-win!
