It’s not a mini, it’s not a maxi . . . it’s somewhere in-between . . . it’s a midi! Now, most you are probably familiar with the midi. But, as I scroll through Instagram it is hard to miss what a “must-have” trend this skirt is. And to be specific, I am loving the pleated midi skirt and think this is the skirt you NEED in 2020.

If you follow me, you know I have a $20 problem, but I felt that it was important to show you pleated midis at a variety of price points to give you options and demonstrate just how great this style can be. That being said, the skirts shown are all under $60 and most are around $30 or less.
Here is why you NEED a pleated midi skirt in 2020:
It is universally flattering
Fit and length are key. Not all midis are created equal. If you are shorter in stature, you want a midi that hits just below the knee–you still want to see a little leg to give a lengthening effect. Also, look for a good fit and quality waistband that sits at your natural waist. This will highlight your figure and give you a variety of styling options with the top (tucked-in, un-tucked, tied, etc.)
It can be worn year-round.
Change up the top and the shoes and you have an outfit for every season. Try with a tee for spring, a tank and strappy sandals for summer, a cool jacket for fall and a pair of tall boots for winter.
It can be dressed up or down.
From brunch with the girls to the office and then date night, this skirt will take you through your week with ease. Style with a graphic tee or sweater for a more casual look. A pretty blouse looks great for work and then a sexy top is perfect for cocktails or dinner.
I practice what I preach
These aren’t the best photos, but it’s hard to take fashionable pics while sporting a medical boot thanks to my broken foot. However, I purchased my pleated skirt a few years ago from H&M and I am so happy it has become an “it” trend. I look forward to rocking these and many other looks with this skirt in the New Year.
Cheers to 2020. Wishing you a Happy New Year and many fashionable moments in your new skirt!
Danielle
