There is something that is incredibly classic and sexy about a white shirt paired with a red skirt and black shoes. The coupling of these pieces is a style that has withstood the test of time. 50’s sock hops, 80’s offices, and current day football fields have all been witnesses to red skirts and white tops.

While I love the combination, the plain red skirt, whether pleated or straight, can get a little boring. Why not mix things up by wearing both at the same time. This pleated crossover skirt is simple, yet complicated, classy and sexy. A knee-length hemline makes this skirt more demure and appropriate than its 80’s counterpart and the pleated front panel adds flair and style. And get this: NO ZIPPERS. The pull on waistband makes the machine washable bottom extraordinarily comfortable. The straight silhouette may be troublesome for pear shaped women with large hips, but beyond that, I say rinse and repeat to this design.

Paired with a red jacket, this skirt turns into a colorful business suit that can be toned down for the evening hours by a simple removal of the jacket. Try the black one with a pink sleeveless blouse for an update on a classic date night look. At 24.99, anything is possible.
