It’s all in the cut and how your style your pleat-front pants, or even pleated shorts.Style Points:
There’s a bit of slouch to them this time around the pleats are softer and more drapey rather then the hard-edge, crisp pleating of years ago. Drop-crotch pants look better with pleats too.- The drape continues to a tapered leg rather than the boxy and matronly hem of years ago.
- They are worn with clean and simple tops to let the pleats be the style focus.
- A rolled hem makes them super cute, modern and casual.
- Attention goes to your feet with a tapered leg, be sure your shoes are fab!
- Platform sandals make them perfect for dressier occasions.
- Keep the look off-handed to avoid a dated feel.
