Pleated Pants are the Latest '80s Trend to Make a Comeback
The elegant silhouette is a must for your summer wardrobe.
Though summer is typically the time to go sexy and daring, the latest trend leans more sophisticated. The pleated trouser, which was a big trend in the 1980s, is back, and 2021's version is not unlike its '80s counterparts.
The high-waisted trouser has caught the attention of street style stars like Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and looks great whether paired with a simple tank or dressed up with a blazer.
Pleated pants also easily transition from day to night—it's no coincidence that Danielle Haim wore the trend to the Brit Awards. The trousers were a bold red carpet choice fit for someone who marches to the beat of their own drum.
