The Skirt Is the Look: Pleats, Pencil Lines & After-Dark Shine

Fall’s most expressive skirt shapes make a simple top feel intentional. Pleats bring movement, pencil lines sharpen the silhouette, and sequins, metallics, checks, stripes, ruffles, and asymmetry add personality from the waist down.

Why skirts are leading today’s look

Vogue’s Fall 2026 shopping guide puts sculptural, printed, and pencil-thin skirts front and center. Its September 26 skirt styling report highlights pleats, pencil shapes, embellishment, texture, and color, while InStyle’s October 9 Paris stylist report calls pencil and long skirts especially relevant for fall.

DKNY Women's Pleated Skirt Size L

Gold pleats give this DKNY maxi skirt movement and polish without making it difficult to style.

At $28.00 compared with $109.00, it captures fall’s renewed skirt focus with standout designer value.

The gold tone works like a rich fall neutral: dress it down with a tucked knit and loafers, or lean into the shine with black, burgundy, or cream for dinner and seasonal events.
