Pleats are a classic texture that has stood the test of time.
The 'trend' is seeing a resurgence as of late and having a ripple effect on the fashion world as seen on runways and style stars alike.
According to ELLE, the curve-hugging, divinely stretchy texture of a finely pleated “plissé” polyester garment is wildly flattering on a variety of body types, moldable into a number of playful forms, and practically ageless.
There are many ways to rock the pleated look with pleats, from shimmery metallics, printed, colourful, sheer to monochrome.
