I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled.

I used to take ballet when I was little, so it's no surprise that I'm partial to the sweet ballerina look. I've been looking for a soft accordion pleat skirt, like this Mauro Grifoni Light Gray Pleated Skirt ($128, originally $315), to re-create the chic ballerina look. But unfortunately, the price and the hemline aren't quite right.

When done right, pleats can be a beautiful thing. Check out how chuchu223 did it. To bring structure to her flowy skirt, she paired it with a boxy black jacket.

Pleated and folded handbags are popping up all over, and they're kicking the butts of structured purses. I predict this Bally Leather Zip Pocket Slouch Bag ($1,195), which also comes in nude, is going to be the next coveted accessory. Look at it; doesn't it scream the bag to have?

Time to get into the fold. Pleated, tucked, furrowed, whatever you want to call it, these gathered handbags will add depth to your look. The real beauty is you have options: tight, accordion-like folds have a rocker vibe while simple incisions stay crisp and clean.

We've chatted about pleats. We've oogled over ruffles. What do you get when you combine the two textural forces?

Remember when I redid my closet? That is when I realized I oft feel blue when it comes to clothes. Which is ironic because clothes make me very, very happy.

Pleats can scare even the most stylishly inclined but fear not as this season's nip and tuck offers a fresh look for even the most wary customer.
When embarking on a pleated adventure in the lower region of your body, look to crisp colors, a mid to loose fit, and high heels. The top half can stay fresh in crisp neutrals or go funky with multicolored options.

OK, is it just me or is something seriously wrong with this Alexander Wang Pleated Pant ($276). The cropped leg and super baggy cut is quite clownish — and those pleats? Seriously unflattering.
