Pleated Maxi Skirts

Long pleated skirts are a great way to look breezy for Summer, as well as cover up your legs in style during Fall. So let's look to three celebrities — Jennifer Lawrence, Daisy Lowe, and Mena Suvari — who have all mastered the trend. Jennifer toured Paris this Summer wearing a classic ivory pleated maxi skirt with a gray tank and a Tory Burch bag; Daisy worked her midi turquoise pleated skirt in an edgier way with a black leather jacket and black biker boots; and Mena kept it sassy in an orange pleated maxi with a white crop top, oversized clutch, and Vince Camuto sandals ($50, originally $69). Whether your style aesthetic is classic, rocker, or trendy, work a pleated maxi skirt into your Summer and Fall wardrobe. Keep your other items minimal for now, then layer it way up when the weather chills.

Amber Heard was spotted leaving lunch at Urth Caffe LA wearing a long black pleated skirt. Pleated skirts tend to look matronly, but Amber showed off a sassy new way to work it. She paired her pleats with an ivory lace strapless corset top, brown belt for contrast, a tan bag, and strappy black-and-tan flat sandals. Then she finished off with edgy accessories: a silver cross cuff, silver ring, and spiked earrings. Inspired by Amber, bust out your pleated maxi skirt and match it up with a strapless corset-style top, strappy sandals, and edgy accessories. To get Amber's exact look, shop similar pieces below.

Jennifer Lawrence popped in Paris wearing a fabulous fashion formula that must be mimicked pronto: a gray scooped tank tucked into an ivory pleated maxi skirt. What's great about this outfit is that it can be easily re-created with so many different color combinations. You can pair a white tank with a black pleated maxi skirt for an edgy look, a nude tank with a gray skirt for something subtle, or a bright tank with a printed pleated maxi skirt for a sassier flair. No matter which you choose, finish your look with oversized sunglasses and this structured Tory Burch crossbody bag ($333, originally $475) just like Jennifer did. Choose flats for when you're on the run or wedges to give you height. To get started on Jennifer's Parisian fashion formula, shop our favorite tank and pleated maxi skirt pairings below.
