I like most pleated pants and some simple pleated tops, skirts, & dresses. But, pleats aren't always a favorite of mine.

(I like this, but maybe more in a different color)

I do like the pleated tops and some of the dresses.. However, I am not a fan of the fashions that have too much pleating and a few of the dresses are in that category.  I love the shoe!!!!  All in all a nice look at what pleats are trending in fashion wear!!!!

I'm not big on pleated clothing myself, but some of the examples are pretty nice. Thanks for posting all the photos!

NO!!! Back in day when you had to iron everything, pleats were a nightmare.

I am extra-short....pleats make me look dumpy

Thanks for posting.
I like the first RL pleated short and the trousers in #4. The solid pleated skirts (#5 & #14) are nice. I also like the camisole (#18).

I like the pleated skirts, whether they're on their own or part of a dress.  There's something so pretty about the way they flow when you walk in them.

The examples that were posted are exquisite. I think pleats are beautiful until I put them on my body. Then, oopsie!

Unfortunately I am too short and fluffy for pleats to be a flattering look.

I love pleats, but I realize not all pleated garments work for me.
