Summer definitely isn’t the time to be feeling blue, but it might just be the time to be wearing it. This collection of blue pleated skirts taps into a look the runway's main trailblazers are all over this season, with a range of hues from vibrant ultramarine to classic navy.
Give a new look a whirl with these blue pleated skirts
No longer the preserve of your granny or schoolchildren, pleated skirts in blue bring those folds in line with some of the hottest contemporary trends right now. A glossy or iridescent design from the collection signals catwalk awareness and is a great piece to contrast with a slouchy boyfriend cardigan. For a rustic approach opt for muted tones, matte material, soft gathering or floaty hemlines. Alternatively, go full flower power with a floral-print skirt. Just make sure it’s short enough to float above the swamp of festival mud and remember your wellies. Deep blues can be your all-year staple, or look for pale, sky hues and patterns laced with pinks and whites for a breezy summer look. Keep an eye out for sheer material at the hem of your pleated skirt to bring some sultry sophistication to the proceedings.
Absolutely classic with blue pleated skirts
Rigid, top-to-bottom knife or box pleats give you a smart, structured vibe - perfect with a simple, tucked-in blouse for work. A blue pleated skirt with wider folds is a statement look and is a majestic style for ritzy garden parties. Remember, pleats add volume, so opt for something simple and uncluttered up top; a form-fitting T-shirt tucked in at the waist is always a good option (just make it one with a slogan). When looking across this collection of pleated skirts in blue, keep the hem in mind, too: a straight cut is a smart choice for work, while dramatic scoops and curves are head-turning flourishes for glamorous events.
