18 Ways to Style an Accordion Skirt
It’s easy to see why the accordion skirt is a trend that just won’t stop — they’re soft, flowing and super flattering. And honestly, we’re 100% okay with that. By now, you probably know how attached we get to a good skirt. We’ve raved about scuba skirts, we’ve poured over peplum hems and now it’s time to circle back to all those pretty pleats. So here you have it: a collection of 18 ways to wear an accordion-pleated skirt.
1. Quirky: We love the way Steffy Kuncman styles her mustard-yellow mini skirt with a green polka dot sweater. Aside from the fact that it’s adorable, the skirt can also be paired with a crisp button down for a more sophisticated look. Oh, the possibilities! (via Steffy’s Pros + Cons)
2. With Sequins: Saying no to sequins is never part of the plan. The sparkly top shown is a great neutral to wear day or night. (via M Loves M)
