Fashion advice: pair the short pleated skirt with a top crop and sandals for a casual summer look. Or a button-down shirt for a more polished look, with white trainers. On the other hand, we will prefer high heels for an evening or at work (boots or pumps, depending on the place).

We like to pair this trapeze skirt with basic tops, if possible white, ecru or cream to stay in shades of white, or black if you want to slim down your bust. A pretty black leather bag with golden ties and a beautiful pair of black patent pumps create a sublime look.
3. Midi pleated dress
The long skirt is never as beautiful and sublimated as when it goes perfectly with the top of your outfit. How about a graphic pleated dress designed in two elements: a dark asymmetrical top covering a loose mid-length pleated midi skirt in immaculate white? Definitely a chic and original outfit!

For a more casual look, pair it with flats or sandals. For a dressier look, add heels and a trendy necklace. Don't forget to accessorize your hair! For example, soft waves will perfectly complement a pleated dress.
While the orange color alone is the highlight of your outfit, navy blue gives you the audacity of an additional touch of color, as an accessory for example. Scarf, belt, handbag, or shiny shoes: the color or the glitter will make your outfit stand out.
When in doubt, less is more. A pleated dress is all the more beautiful if it is not overloaded with accessories. Let the dress be the star of your outfit, and keep the rest relatively simple.
