If the last time you wore this colour was after your favourite white piece found its way into a dark wash, you’re missing out. This collection of grey pleated skirts brings together the back-again pleat and a gorgeous, versatile hue.
Opt for a softer look with grey pleated skirts
Grey is the ultimate in understatement, a gentle midway point between the occasionally brash contrast you can get from pure whites or blacks. Choosing a simple grey pleated skirt is a great way to pull off a minimal, block-colour look. The narrow folds in this collection of pleated skirts in grey offer a subtler look than their wider counterparts, and are especially flattering on pear-shaped figures. When you don’t dare to bare in a mini skirt but still fancy something a little racier than a traditional midi, keep an eye out for longer styles with semi-transparent or mesh material near the hem. Elastic waistbands give a pleasing simplicity to a grey pleated skirt (no fiddly belts or buckles needed here) and make for easy pulling on as you dash out of the door.
Say it loud with grey pleated skirts
Metallic knife pleated skirts in grey have caused a stir on the catwalk in recent years and have since been adopted by a host of Hollywood A-listers. Team with a slouchy jumper in electric blue or green and platform shoes. The strong box pleats in this collection are a statement in themselves and add substantial shape and volume, so pair with a tight crop top on a night out or a slim fitting, long-sleeved T-shirt to keep a balance. Floral prints come in monochrome shades for an office-appropriate look or with splashes of colour in painterly designs that blossom in pinks and purples. Continue the demure aesthetic with black kitten heels.
