#FashionTips: How to make your metallic pleated skirt look more stylish

If you have a metallic pleated skirt in your closet then you understand how difficult it can be to style them.

First off, where exactly are you supposed to be going? What length is considered appropriate? What colour matches your skin? So many questions with so few answers. All you need to remember is that these pleated skirts can be worn on any occasion, any day.

Most metallic pleated skirts come in a safe midi length that will suit any height. And best part about all this is that it will have you feeling girly and sexy at the same time because of how free they are.

Unfortunately this gem has a good number of ladies scratching their heads on how to style it. Here are some tips that will help you style you metallic skirt like a pro:

Of course metallic skirts are more or less a rock star look and you can either go big or go home. By adding a leather jacket, you are going to be going all rock star on your outfit.

The best thing about this outfit is that accessories will be totally unnecessary if you don’t want to add any. The shoes you choose will totally depend on you taste and style too.

Romantic blouses are those vintage feminine tops that really bring out your features. Basically you can’t share them with your boyfriend.

A good example of a romantic blouse is the French pussy bow, when you match your skirt to your romantic blouse the blend is priceless.

Romantic blouses are meant to elevate your girlie side and what better way to do it than to pair it with a pleated skirt. To crown your outfit, you can also add a vintage belt that matches your outfit, the final look will be to die for.

This might seem like an odd combination but nothing will scream high fashion like matching your pleated skirt to a metallic skirt.

A sweater is subtle and large and it will tone down your skirt which is smaller and snugger.

When it comes to matching outfits it is all about balancing and getting your proportions right. The trick to make your outfit pop is to try and get a sweater which is of the same colour shade as your skirt.

When in doubt, always match your skirt with a blazer, to make it look more chic try and match it with a blazer that it slightly oversize in order to give your outfit some structure.

Since your metallic skirt is already shining, you can go for a blazer with a solid colour or something neutral to gravitate your look.

You can either do a neutral coloured crop top on the inside or a tank top, either way your skirt outfit will still look amazing.

When all is lost and you have nothing to match with your metallic pleated skirt, always go with a basic T-shirt.

Depending on what colour your skirt is, you can either match it with a black, white or any other neutral coloured T-shirt.

If you feel your outfit will be too frumpy, you can add a belt to the combo to give it some edge.

The kind of shoes you decide to match with your metallic skirt can either break your outfit or make it. At this point you need to be careful with the shoe type you go for.

However, if ever in doubt and you don’t know what shoes to match your outfit with, always go for white sports or rubbers shoes. They are simple and will match with every outfit.

If you are going for a more edgy look, go with ankle length boots but if you want your outfit to look chic, make them knee length. So that the skirt covers the length of the boot.
