Pleated skirt is back in fashion

The first pleated skirt appeared more than 4-5 thousand years ago. At first, it was sewn exclusively for men, oddly enough, but they began to consider it primordially female only in the 18th century.

Once again, fashion remembered the classic pleated skirt last season, and since then it has not let go of all fashion lovers. This year, the peak of its popularity - fashion designers put the pleated skirt on a pedestal, continuing to bring to life the combination of pleated fabrics and their combination with various accessories.
