Pretty In Pleats
Having just recently declared my love for pleated pants, I found the feature on “Soft Pleats” in the April 2011 issue of Marie Claire to be particularily well-timed. But rather than focus on pants, Marie Claire looked to pleated skirts, saying the “delicate fanlike folds graduate from schoolgirl skirts to clever grown-up lengths.” It appears the ladylike “trend,” along with these ultra-femme skirts, isn’t going away anytime soon (then again, isn’t dressing like a lady always in style?). According to the New York Times, “so much modesty has never gone so far.”
