A pleated skirt is one of my favorite pieces to wear in fall. The movement feels feminine and elevated, and with the right layers, it becomes incredibly versatile. This season, I’m reaching for cozy sweaters, classic jackets, and the perfect mix of boots, flats, and Mary Jane’s to style it in fresh, effortless ways.
1. Sweater, Reversible Belt & Tall Boots
For a polished fall outfit, a soft knit sweater over your pleated skirt with a leopard belt on top of the sweater to define your waist without tucking. Finish the look with tall boots. It’s chic, comfortable, and just right for a day at the office or Sunday brunch.
2. Denim Jacket, Tall Boots & a Clutch
Denim is very in this fall so anytime you add denim to any outfit, you will most definitely be on trend! A denim jacket layered over your pleated skirt brings an easy, casual vibe that’s perfect for fall. You can wear the jacket as if it’s your top, and pair it with tall boots for a structured finish. Add a suede or leather clutch for a hint of polish—this is such a good balance of relaxed yet elevated style.
3. Leather Jacket, Mesh Mary Jane’s & Belt
For an edgier spin, start by adding a belt over the skirt to give your outfit structure. Layer on a cropped leather jacket for contrast, and finish with mesh Mary Jane’s to bring in a touch of playfulness. The mix of tough leather with feminine pleats feels fresh for fall and is such a chic look for less if you’re recreating designer-inspired outfits.
4. Blue Sweater, Layering & Denim Flats
Fall is the perfect season for layering, and this look is all about soft tones and texture. A cable knit blue sweater belted over your pleated skirt gives a cozy yet effortless feel. Pair it with denim flats for a chic, casual finish that works from morning coffee runs to afternoon errands. Add a long coat or scarf for extra warmth when the temperatures dip.
