The Box Pleated Skirt

The Box Pleated Skirt can be worn high waisted to create a very edgy but classic fun look!  It can also be dressed up or down depending on the need.  This skirt is inspired by the school girl look but can be taken to an entire different direction using accessories and the right pumps or thin heels:

The Layered Skirt

The layered skirt is a beautiful expression and visualization of the multifaceted nature of a woman.  She ascends to higher and higher heights in her growth, shockingly springing forth unrevealed qualities of her being.  This is the New 21st Century Woman.

Dennis Basso's Spring 2013 Line reveals the beauty of graceful power.

 

But, the same layers can be a more free flowing display of tribal ethnicity and unexpected waves of beauty.

And Chris Benz produces another rendition of the same skirt type- a sunshine bright yellow beneath a sheer black combined with a softer floral top and modern pumps.  He's created an eclectic, youthful, yet somewhat "pretty-urban-chic" look.

Recommended Body Type: Layered Skirts Look Best on Banana (Pencil) shaped women due to their fullness, adding a more voluminous dimension.

The Pleated Skirt

The pleated skirt speaks delicacy and femininity.

For a Romantic look, a long, flowing pleated skirt (knee length or ankle length) with soft, gentle heels are key!  The soft shade, rose, yellow and sage green hues are gorgeous yet delicate.

Tadashi Shoji's redition of the pleated skirt is very bohemian and ethnic, graceful and sheer bliss.
