If you\u2019re currently wondering how to rock that pleated skirt or dress this season, look no further than these runway inspired ensembles from the catwalks. We\u2019ve compiled a few designer approved ways to rock the trend, well into the colder months of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Casual Chic <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a low key Saturday afternoon where comfort is first and foremost on your mind, look no further than the Tod\u2019s runway. Slip into a dark pleated leather skirt, and pair your edgy piece with a contrasting dark yellow, white and red knit sweater. Meanwhile, the addition of lace-up leather boots lends a rebellious, biker babe effect to an ensemble of mixed textures and multicoloured prints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the business week in full force, turn to longer hemlines and sweet, dainty accordion pleats (as spotted at Valentino). A midi dress with a high neckline, soft velvety texture and fitted long sleeves perfectly captures the pleating trend for Winter 2017. For a weather-appropriate outfit, add a pair of ribbed grey tights and prepare to take care of business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evening <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As day turns into night, turn to full-length skirts and luxurious, royal hues of violet for a refreshed take on the classic pleated frock. At Roksanda, a pleated ballgown cut a dramatic figure with its billowing hem, high halter neckline and velvet band around the waistline. Whether you\u2019re on your way to meet Prince Charming or attending a gala, there\u2019s nothing quite like a voluminous pleated number to leave all eyes on you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Vogue Runway<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re currently wondering how to rock that pleated skirt or dress this season, look no further than these runway inspired ensembles from the catwalks.
