Fall Fashion Trend Alert: Long Pleated Skirts for Muslim Women Fashion
Move over long frumpy skirts! Muslim women who are fashion conscious can now look to the long pleated skirts trend that is making waves on the fashion runways this Fall! Read on to find out more on how to incorporate this look into your fashion style this Fall.
“This season, pleated skirts have gotten a fashionable update from their schoolgirl or stuffy secretary association,” says stylist, Afiya Francisco. “Pleats are thinner and fabrics are lighter.”
How to wear it
“A fashion-forward option is to pair longer skirts with hip-length tops in contrasting fabrics,” says Francisco. Try it with a looser fit blouse that’s tucked in. Fit is crucial, says Francisco, so be sure that the pleats are sharp and lay flat. Vivid brights are a bold option but lighter taupe and grey is also polished and feminine.
Accessorize it
A medium to thin belt is a must. Try something in the same tone or a complementing shade, says Francisco.
Day to night
Wear it with slightly heavier shoes like wedges to counterbalance the floaty material – these are a great casual option for day. Feminine heels make a sophisticated option for evening. Fabrics like silk, chiffon and satin also look appropriate for evening events so opt for a skirt that can work for both.
