Everett-Ratcliffe explains that most pleated skirts are made of polyester, and for good reason: Flimsier fabrics (including linen and silk) are less likely to keep a pleat. While a lot of the polyester styles on our list are machine washable and low tumble dry, she recommends hanging them to air dry “which will help them keep their shape,” she explains. If they do start to lose their pleats, you can carefully iron them on a low setting. Colorful fair isle patterned skirt that flares from a high waist to midi length.

Leitz-Aslaksen adds the high-rise, lightweight skirt “flows graceful,” is fully lined, and most importantly, is wrinkle-resistant, “making it a low maintenance wardrobe essential.” We also appreciate that it comes in a wide range of sizes, from XXS to 3X, making it essential for all body types. But shoppers do warn that it runs big, so make sure to size down. Styling a pleated skirt depends on the occasion and your personal style, says Leitz-Aslaksen. “For a casual look, pair a mini or midi pleated skirt with a graphic tee or casual top, sneakers, and minimal accessories,” she says. For a more polished ensemble, style a midi or maxi pleated skirt with a blouse, camisole or sweater, heels or ankle boots, and statement jewelry. “Experiment with patterns, textures, and layers to create a unique outfit that suits your taste.”
