pleated pleasures ss/11

Guess the pleat trend is pretty hot this Spring Summer, with variations seen across the catwalk from Chloé to Kane. It's easy to get a piece of this crinkly pleasure, and they're summery and versatile enough to brighten up any outfit, working with a vast range of existing pieces.

As far as girly trends go (and I'm no girly girl) this one is without a doubt a workable winner, even for the the eternal tomboy.

Clockwise from top: Chloe x2, Derek Lam, Nicole Farhi x2, House of Holland (all SS11).

My interpretation centres round a summery jumper paired with the pleated dress you can see underneath. For walking in sunshine on windy days!(of which we seem to have many.)
