This spring pleated skirts swooshed into action in airy fabrics all over the runways.  Skintight pencil skirts are terrific, but not always high on the comfort scale.  Pleats- whether box, knife, or accordion- will bring an effortless swing in your step.  These breezy bottoms in metallics, tweeds, or bright, cheerful colors have an effortless elegance that's sure to sway you in their direction.

How to wear them...

1. Skirts with pleats that are stitched down the waistline visually flatten the tummy.
2. Assymetrical hemlines edge up this school girl style.
3. These skirts can swallow you if don't reveal your waist.  Tuck in a silk blouse or pair with a cropped top.
