Fashion editor-approved pleated midi skirts you need in your closet now

Twirl-worthy and flouncy, knife pleats aren’t just for the library

by Her World  /   July 8, 2020

The half-unbuttoned cardigan, studious frames, and modest midi skirt – we have movies and TV series like The Mummy (1999) and New Girl (2011-18) to credit when we speak of the “sexy librarian”. While we totally dig the vintage aesthetic and welcome the return of pleated midi skirts for SS ’20, we’re also a huge fan of the season’s modern and youthful updates. We’re talking bold box pleats and geometric prints from Tory Burch, and a club-ready metallic one from Valentino.

Sweaters and pleats are the perfect fall combination 🍁

And of course, we’re also taking a page from how celebs are styling it: from Olivia Palermo’s French-tucked sweater to Leonie Hanne’s layered asymmetrical ensemble.

Acting busy when we all know I’m just ordering an açai with extra peanut butter. 😎 Here’s the status quo of my Lnd açai research: 1. Juice Baby (Love the Buckwheat Granola!) 2. Farm Girl Soho 3. Raw Press (Chocolate bowl) If you can recommend any other amazing açai/blue bowl/chocolate bowl (Not too fruity – I prefer sweet with granola & peanut butter) 🖤 I tested: Good Life Eatery, Bosyism, Jusu, Pret-A-Manger, Paradise Plantbased and a few others – But I still prefer the above three. 🤗💕🦋💜🦄
