<\/p>\nIt\u2019s time to start preparing your party outfits as the festive season is fast approaching, and there\u2019s no better time to add a little sparkle to your look than during party season.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re not one for sequins and can\u2019t bear the trail that glitter leaves behind, then metallic fabrics are the ultimate way to add a little glitz and glamour to your ensemble, and they can instantly elevate any outfit into something chic without looking like you\u2019ve tried too hard.<\/p>\n
With similar statement-making metallic pieces appearing on the runways of designers like JW Anderson, Bottega Veneta and Valentino, it\u2019s no surprise that the metallic pleated midi skirt has become one of this season\u2019s most coveted styles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One skirt that\u2019s been trending right now is Maje\u2019s Jonaely High-Rise Metallic-Pleated Midi Skirt,<\/b> \u00a3167.40 here<\/u> <\/b> (was \u00a3279),<\/b> with the silver pleated skirt being so popular there are currently only two left on the Selfridge\u2019s website. <\/p>\n
Although the luxury skirt comes with a matching luxury price tag, we\u2019ve found the perfect affordable alternative from high street fave La Redoute, and its Recycled Pleated Lam\u00e9 Skirt,<\/b> \u00a338.50 here<\/u> <\/b> (was \u00a355),<\/b> is perfect for getting the designer look on a budget. <\/p>\n
La Redoute\u2019s version has a similar metallic sheen to Maje\u2019s version, with the same high waistband and midi-length pleated design, however the high street version has swapped out the wide black waistband for one in the same fabric as the rest of the skirt, which actually makes it look more expensive and elegant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Despite dropping from \u00a355 to \u00a338.50 on the website, you can still snap up La Redoute\u2019s Lam\u00e9 Skirt in all sizes, with the range spanning sizes 6-24.<\/p>\n
Perfect for those upcoming Christmas parties you just can\u2019t say no to, you can pair it with a satin blouse and heels for a chic evening look, or keep it more casual with a pair of loafers and an oversized knit for more relaxed events, making it one of the easiest items in your wardrobe to style. <\/p>\n
If silver\u2019s not your colour, you can also snap up a similar version in a whole host of festive hues, including & Other Stories\u2019 Relaxed Pleated Midi Skirt,<\/b> \u00a349 here<\/u> <\/b> (was \u00a385),<\/b> in a deep purple-hued bronze shade, or the gold Mia Pleated Midi Skirt from Monsoon,<\/b> \u00a370 here<\/u> <\/b> ,<\/b> for a warmer-toned festive colour. <\/p>\n
