I tried out the tennis skirt trend

When it comes to trends, I’m not really the first one to hop on them. But when I saw the first post on a fashion blog saying “pleated skirts are making a comeback” I was quick to get excited. Pleated skirts were one of my favorite things growing up and now, as a more experience woman in fashion, I could style them without looking like a dorky school girl with braces.

I’ll be honest; it was much harder to find this skirt than I anticipated. I ended up getting an Adidas tennis skirt off Poshmark, but I found and linked a few similar ones below.

I struggled with the styling at first because the outfit inspiration I found just didn’t seem quite like my style. But when inspiration strikes, damn, does it come in hot.

Because this skirt was a little tighter in the waist, I paired it with my favorite sculpting bodysuit from Pinsy. Let me tell you – this bodysuit is a game changer. I got rid of my other solid black bodysuit after getting this one because it does the lord’s work. It supports the girls and snatches you in at the waist without being too restrictive! (You can use the code KIRSTEN for 15% off your order too!)

Lastly, I paired it with some round sunnies, a secondhand jacket I thrifted from thredUP, and my favorite Golden Goose Sneakers.
