The pleated skirt is a wardrobe staple that has never steered us wrong. The classic piece has grown up with us. We all have a memory linked to it maybe it’s a school uniform, a summer essential from days spent on the tennis court, or the outfit of choice worn to a successful job interview.
After recently adding a new pleated skirt to our collection, we’ve been considering the best ways to wear it. Join us in honoring the iconic style and shopping some chic ones.
How did pleats originate?
We can thank the ancient Egyptians for popularizing this classic style. The time and effort that went into creating such a garment gave it upper-echelon status, as it had to be resewn after every wear. Talk about sacrifice in the name of fashion! Since then, pleats have continued to make a statement throughout history, from Queen Elizabeth’s classic ruff to Issey Miyake’s timeless Pleats Please collection.

Eye-catching plissé and pleats are the key to a stylish and forgiving outfit this summer. Following wow-factor electric blue dresses in Versace’s spring/summer show, and the much-loved Pleats Please collection by Issey Miyake, it’s no surprise the trend has hit the High Street.
