Pleated Pants, Pretty Please!

They were all over the runways: pleated pants made a huge comeback this year, becoming a wardrobe staple for the coming winter. They're chic (perfect to go to work), but can adopt this cool laid-back style when worn with a large crop top and brogues. I'm sure you have a pair, and if you're lacking inspiration, just imitate our bloggers!

Pleated pants from Zara, matched with a stripped cardigan from Mango, Marni heels, Uterque clutch, vintage leather jacket and a tee from Topshop.

"Well, I love pleated pants because they're comfortable to wear. These are actually my very first pair, my one and only, and favorite as of the moment! In this outfit I mixed my favorite shade last summer - dusty pink and gray.

Going back to wearing pants, it's been a really long time since I wore some and I love that I was able to get this pair. I also thought of more ideas on how to wear this pair of trousers during fall"

"For me, pleated pants are the item you never knew you had to have... until you find the perfect pair that is. After you have found the "one" or "ones"... it's like your first love, the boy that will forever make an impression in your life. Cuffing them (like I did here) and pairing with your favorite spring/summer shoe or layered with boots and chunky knits... they can take action where any skirt or dress did before. Living in San Francisco, it's Fall 9 months out of the year.... it's a must have item in any woman's closet."

"I love wearing pleated pants because they are both slouchy (in fit) and refined (with the pleats). They are the perfect mixture of masculine and feminine, fitting in effortlessly alongside sweet silks and pretty lace. I was going for a classic and minimalistic look, playing around with the season's soft and romantic blush tones. I threw on a leopard cuff to add a quirky, unexpected touch. My pleated pants are so comfortable and I know that I will be living in them forever and ever."

"I think the pleated pants is definitely an item every girl should own this fall. It's easy to combine and you can create a lot of differents looks with it. I can wear it on a shopping spree with a friend combined with a oversized sweater and brogues, on a first date by combining the pants with a bustier, a cardigan and a pair of heels, even on a job interview wearing it with a blouse or a blazer!"

"I love the feeling of pleated pants. They can be dressed up & down so easily, just add a sheer blouse and you instantly get a chic feeling. Or wear them with your All Stars for a cool casual look. The versatility is great, the possibilities endless! Oh, and have I mentioned they are just supercomfi?"

"I love pleated pants because they are a nice alternative to jeans. They have an air of sophistication about them - there's something classy about crisp sharp pleats. They have a certain quirkiness that allows them to form the basis for a wide variety of creative outfits - dressed up, they can be worn with heels, gladiators for a daytime look. I am looking forward to moving mine into the Autumn season paired with worn-in utility boots." Fifi

A hat is always a good idea to make a nice outfit into something a little bit more extraordinary!

"I love pleated pants because they have this old working girl feel to them and they make shorts look so much more polished and suitable for formal wear." Michelle

"Pleated pants look elegant and classy but can be too mature sometimes so I decided to cut them off just to add a bit of energy to them" Twee
