Plisirano krilo/Pleated skirt

Ponovno se začenja šola, zato tokrat nekaj o večnem kosu z 'old school' pridihom, to je plisirano krilo.

Gre za enega izmed kosov, ki smo ga skoraj zagotovo nosile kot majhne deklice, potem nanj za nekaj časa pozabile ter ga ponovno odkrile v odrasli dobi. Zadnjih nekaj let so plisirana krila zelo v trendu, najdejo pa se različice v vseh mogočih materialih, kar si jih lahko zamislimo, od volne do usnja, ter celotni spekter materialov vmes.

Mlajše in bolj drzne bodo izbrale dolžino plisiranega krila do sredine stegen, ki ima vedno pridih 'pridne šolarke' in njenih manj pridnih izpeljank. Če nismo več stare dvajset in prisegamo na dobro krojeno klasiko, ki jo lahko nosimo leta, bomo izbrale dolžino tik nad koleni; fashioniste pa vedo, da se trenutno nosijo krila 'midi' dolžine, torej do sredine meč. Tudi plisirana krila do tal iz lahkotnega šifona so popularna izbira, še zlasti za poletne dni in večere. Kar se tiče oblike postave, plisirano krilo pristaja širokemu naboru postav, od tistih v obliki peščene ure pa vse do pravokotnih postav ali postave v obliki obrnjenega trikotnika. Zakaj je tako? Zaradi vertikalnih gub ima plisirano krilo to lastnost, da hkrati deluje oglato in do določene mere togo, a med gibanjem se gube razmaknejo ter razporedijo po morebitnih oblinah, zato pristajajo tudi ženskam z večjimi boki.

Kako bomo plisirano krilo stilirale v prihajajočih jesenskih dneh? S srajco in puloverjem na V bomo dosegle rahlo 'piflarski' videz, ki nikoli ne gre iz mode; z balerinkami in usnjeno jakno pa se dotaknile francoskega šika. Ko se bo ohladilo, bomo dodale debele žabe in gležnjarje ter okrog vratu ovile voluminozen šal. Svoje plisirano krilo pa z lahkoto oblečete tudi za večerno ali svečano priložnost, če dodate elegantne čevlje s peto in jo kombinirate na bluzico ali poseben top.

As the school year has begun, let me write something about an eternal piece with 'old school' allure, that's pleated skirt. This is a piece that we almost surely wore as little girls, then perhaps forgot about it and found it decades later in our groun-up lives. Pleated skirts have been very much on trend for the past few years, regardless of the season, and we can find all sorts of different kinds of pleated skirts: from wool to leather and everything in-between.

Younger and those who dare will choose a shorter, mid-thigh pleated skirt which inevitably evokes 'good schoolgirl' image, or perhaps a bit naughtier version. If we're no longer twenty and we trust in good old classics that can be worn for years without losing its appeal, we will choose a knee-length pleated skirt. However, the true fashionistas will surely invest in a mid-length skirt which will look spot-on according to current trends. Floor skimming pleated skirts also tend to be popular choice, especially for long summer days and nights.

As far as body shapes are concerned, pleated skirts look best on hourglass figures, rectangular figures and inverted triangles. Why so? Vertical pleats are at the same time stiff and fluid, therefore accentuating narrow hips and also flattering fuller hips because of the motion that pleated material gives.

How to style our pleated skirts in the upcoming days of fall? The shirt and v-neck pullover combination will result in the slightly 'nerdy' look that never goes out of style, while adding ballet flats and a leather jacket will evoke the 'french chic' look. When temperatures drop, we will add opaque tights, ankle boots and a voluminous scarf. Your pleated skirt can easily be styled for elegant and evening occasions, too. Just add high heels and a special top or silk blouse and you're ready to go.
