Fall 2010 Fashion Trends: Evening Pleats for a sophisticated look!

Tags: Dresses | Evening | Fall 2010 | Shopping

The Fall/Winter 2010 runway was full of interesting draping and pleats, and this is a closer look at pleats for the evening..

As summer nights turn cooler, strappy tropical print summer dresses should be moved to the back of the closet, and replaced by a fresh new evening look for the new season. And that's where pleats come in.. anything from traditional box pleats, to subtle pleated accents combined with elegant draping. You can choose from razor sharp geometric styles, or adopt a softer red carpet-ready goddess look.

Scarlett Johansson rocked this 3.1 Phillip Lim draped & pleated dress on Ellen while making the rounds to promote Iron Man 2, and this is a perfect example of the trend. Pleats can be found everywhere - dresses, skirts and blouses.. check out the very best of pleats below, a who's who of new-season designer treats online!
