Here are a couple of advices from Fashionising on how to style pleats for colder weather.

♥ Pair a sunray pleat maxi-dress with socks or tights and heels, and some cosy layers on top. Having your soft, pleated gown flowing out from under a coat or jacket is simple yet effective.

♥ Play it down in a rock-chic pair of boots instead of heels.
♥ Mix styles for contrasts, like the dreamiest of pleated skirts with a bohemian fur or a tough biker jacket.
