Runway to Reality: How to Pull Off Pleated Skirts For Spring - All Under $100

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:30:32 PST

Pleats may come in a range of styles - box, accordion, and knife pleats are just a few - but no matter what size or shape you opt for, it's a remarkably stylish look for Spring. We saw pretty pleated skirts on the runways at Prada, Jil Sander, and more, proving just how easy it is to look pulled-together and feminine - with little effort required. Just throw on one of these floaty pieces with a simple tee or blouse, then add a chic topper like a knit cardigan or blazer (we especially love the look with a leather jacket to edge up an evening ensemble). When it comes to shoes, pleated skirts look just as great with pointy-toe heels as they do with a pair of round-toe flats; you can also throw a pair of lace-up brogues into the mix for a boy-meets-girl, totally on-trend daytime outfit.

Thanks to Coco Chanel, one of our favorite things about Fall – besides pumpkin lattes - is tweed.

To prove it to you, we collated our favorite tweed pieces all under $100 for you to shop to your heart's desire. Just read below for a few quick styling tips, then start shopping.
