Pre-Owned Liz Claiborne Navy and White Pleated Satin Midi Skirt | Shadow Pleated
Movement-made contrast in a polished midi silhouette!
This skirt is a classic example of late 1970s to early 1980s vintage fashion, specifically drawing from the popular nautical and preppy trends of that era. This pre-owned Liz Claiborne skirt is a lightweight satin midi with shadow-pleating style that creates a beautiful navy-and-white duo-color effect. At rest, the skirt reads as navy; the moment you move, the white pleated sections reveal themselves and blend back into the deep navy ground. full button-down front closure and hidden inner security button add thoughtful detail, while the unlined construction keeps the silhouette light.

The Silhouette & Cut: The 33-inch midi length combined with a rigid, tailored waistband and a full button-down front is a textbook late 70s / early 80s design. Modern revivals rarely feature a fully functional button-up placket on an accordion/knife-pleated skirt quite like this.
-
The Colorway: The crisp navy blue contrasted with stark white in a geometric, shadow-pleat style was an incredibly popular color scheme during this era, heavily influenced by sportswear-inspired "country club" chic.
-
The Details: The round, white buttons stitched all the way down the front placket serve as a prominent design element characteristic of daytime workwear and casual separates from this peri
~ Who is for:
For the vintage-inspired dresser, workwear minimalist, occasion stylist, or anyone who likes classic silhouettes with a little visual surprise. The movement-activated pleats make it especially fun for dinners, events, office dressing, and everyday outfits that need more personality.
~ Why you need it:
This skirt gives you two moods in one: an understated navy base when standing still and a flash of white texture in motion. The midi length is easy to dress up or down, and the button-front detail adds a crisp, tailored finish.
~ Style tips:
-
Pair with a white blouse and pointed flats to highlight the white pleats.
-
Wear with a navy knit, belt, and ankle boots for tonal polish.
-
Add a fitted black top and silver jewelry for an evening look.
-
Try a simple tee and sneakers for a more relaxed modern contrast.
