I love a sequin pant, but this holiday party season I'm looking for something a bit more day-to-night versatile, a metallic pleated skirt! From classic metallics such as gold, bronze and silver to jewel tone colors, a metallic pleated skirt makes an instant impression without trying to hard. Celebrities have been stepping out in designer lame pleated skirts to wow the press and fashionistas everywhere know that this trend can be taken for a standout daytime look just as easily.
