Pleats pleeeease

If you are going to buy one thing this week, make sure it is a pleated skirt. For now, buy a bright colour to pop against black ankle boots and jacket. When it gets a bit warmer, start mixing tonal colours and pastels for the hottest trend of the summer (pun intended).

Olivia palermo has dressed down this dramatic skirt with flats and a simple block shirt.

Embellishment on Kate Bosworth's top and key accessory changes take this skirt in a more dressy direction.

Keira Knightley's length is less intimidating and is more on trend for this season where skirts fall just below the knee. Here is a selection of some the best available to buy now.
