Pleats Please Issey Miyake Basics Pleated Midi Skirt

Product Insights & Style Tips

Issey Miyake's Pleats Please signature garment-pleating locks in a flattering, fluid silhouette with surprisingly low maintenance. This Basics Pleated Midi Skirt gathers in at the waist and blooms into a soft, directional drape that resists wrinkles for a polish that travels. The center front length is 32 1/2 inches on size 3, giving a lean line, while an elastic waist provides easy, everyday ease. Made in Japan from 100 percent polyester and unlined, it moves with you without heaviness.

With its elastic waist and airy pleats, the skirt sits smoothly and freely over the hips, then falls with controlled motion as you walk. The unlined fabric keeps the weight light, so you can tuck in a lightweight top or layer over a sweater without creating bulk. It transitions from desk to dinner and street to cafe with footwear changes, staying polished whether you lean into sneakers or elevate with a heeled sandal.

An enduring Pleats Please statement, this midi marries sculptural movement with practical, everyday wear. Its simple, refined form anchors a modern wardrobe, echoing Issey Miyake's Japan-made heritage and the brand's love of intelligent drape.
