How to Wear a Plisse Skirt

Plisse skirts are pleated midi-skirts that usually hit at about mid-shin. These skirts have become super popular lately because of their light and flowy fabric that can be dressed up or down. Try your plisse skirt with a few different items in your wardrobe to make this versatile skirt work for you.

[Edit]Keeping Your Plisse Skirt Casual

1. Tuck a cute tank top into your skirt to show off your figure. Plisse skirts usually sit on your natural waistline, creating a chic hourglass shape. Use a spaghetti strap tank top to accentuate your silhouette by tucking it into your skirt.^[1]
   
   • Keep your outfit simple by using a black lacy camisole, or add a pattern to your outfit by putting on a striped tank top.
   • Pair a white tank top with a dark green or blue skirt for a nice contrast.
2. Go with a fitted T-shirt for a simple, everyday outfit. Try on a V-neck or a scoop neck top and tuck it into your plisse skirt. The tight fit of your shirt will accentuate the flowy fit of the skirt and create a nice balanced look.^[2]
   
   • Try pairing a light blue shirt with a black skirt for a flattering outfit.
3. Wear a crop top if you want to show some skin. If you're comfortable showing a little skin, try wearing a cropped shirt that hits at your natural waistline. You can throw on a cropped T-shirt during the summer to stay cool or wear a cropped turtleneck in the winter for a cozy outfit.^[3]
   
   • Pair a black cap-sleeved crop top with a green plisse skirt for a classic look.
   • Add a bright red or pink crop top to a cream plisse skirt for a cute contrast.
4. Throw on a denim jacket to keep warm without obscuring your waistline. Jackets that hug your waist keep the natural waistline of the plissé skirt. Use a denim jacket to keep your arms warm during the spring while adding an element of fashion to your casual outfit.^[4]
   
   • Add a denim jacket to a black T-shirt and a blue plisse skirt for a matching outfit.
   • Pair your denim jacket with some small gold earrings for a casual accessory.
5. Create a fashion-forward look by pairing the skirt with a bomber jacket. Bomber jackets also generally hit your natural waistline. To make your outfit casual and cool, put on a silk bomber jacket to add a pop of color to your plisse skirt.^[5]
   
   • Pair a pink bomber jacket with a black plisse skirt and sneakers for a cute outfit on a fall day.
   • Wear a dark green or blue bomber jacket with a tan or cream plisse skirt for a nice contrasting look.
6. Wear sneakers with your plisse skirt for a casual streetwear vibe. Plisse skirts can easily be dressed down with a pair of sneakers. Put on some low tops for a cute and casual outfit that you can take out to lunch or to a friend's house.^[6]
   
   • Pair your sneakers with a loose white T-shirt and some large sunglasses for a summer outfit.
   • Add some tall patterned socks to your outfit to make it even more casual.
7. Complete a beachy summer outfit with a pair of strappy sandals. Show off your pedicure by wearing some cute sandals with your plisse skirt. Wear it with a spaghetti strap tank top before you hit the beach or pool.^[7]
   
   • Put on a large sun hat to accentuate this summery outfit.
   • Hold a large handbag to store your bathing suit and sunscreen with this outfit.

[Edit]Dressing up Your Plisse Skirt

1. Wear the skirt with a long-sleeved button-down for a pretty vintage look. Put on your plisse skirt and then throw on a button-down shirt, but don’t tuck it in. Instead, leave the bottom 2 buttons open on your shirt so it flows over your skirt in a pleasing design.^[8]
   
   • Use a white button down over a solid-colored skirt for a cute contrast.
   • Wrap a belt around your waist to accentuate your curves in this outfit.
   • Wear a small tan fedora to complete this look.
2. Tie your shirt tails in the front to create a cute bow accent for your outfit. Throw on a long button down and button it to your waist. Pick up the hanging pieces and tie them together in a loose bow. This creates a cute summery look that you can dress up.^[9]
   
   • Use a white button down to add a cute accent to a brown plisse skirt.
   • Wear some chunky heels to dress up this look.
3. Throw on a turtleneck and tuck it in to stay warm and look chic. Turtlenecks pair nicely with a plisse skirt because of the contrast in textures. Tuck your turtleneck into your skirt to create a nice waistline.^[10]
   
   • Add some kitten heels to your outfit for a dressy and stylish look.
   • Pair a brown turtleneck with a red or pink skirt for a cute color combination.
4. Wear a matching structured blazer for a professional outfit. You can take your plisse skirt to work by adding a blazer. Throw on a button down shirt or a plain white T-shirt and a gray or black blazer on top.^[11]
   
   • Add a chunky belt over your shirt layer for a fashion-forward outfit.
5. Keep your ensemble classy and formal with a pair of matching heels. Plisse skirts go well with thin heels because they are so light and flowy on their own. Stick with this theme throughout your whole outfit by wearing some skinny heels.^[12]
   
   • Put on a long overcoat with some stiletto heels for a night out on the town.
6. Add sheer black tights to keep your legs warm in chilly weather. Plisse skirts generally hit at about mid-shin. If your legs are cold but you want to retain a dressy vibe, try wearing sheer black tights underneath your skirt.^[13]
   
   • Wear a black long sleeve shirt and a green plisse skirt with your tights for a color coordinated outfit.
7. Put on a matching skinny belt to accentuate your waist. If you really want to draw attention to your hourglass figure, tie a small belt around your natural waistline just above your hips. Choose a black belt for a neutral look, or go with one that has a large belt buckle for added flair.^[14]
