With hit movies such as ‘The Edge of Love’ hitting the silver screen with their vintage 40’s costume, and D&G conceptualising a whole collection on the Queen, it was inevitable that the pleat skirt would be back in town.

Heritage chic is set to be a big look next season and whilst tweed will be a key fabric, a good staple piece is a basic black pleat skirt. Perfect for work and play, it can be dressed up or down depending on your schedule.

Few people will be brave enough to make like D&G and copy the queen so closely, so on a lesser in-your-face level, make like Land Girls and team with tough boots, loose layered knits and scarves for 1940’s wartime chic.

For a highstreet bargain grab this black pleat skirt form Esprit for £48. If you have the cash to splash hit Net-a-porter for Alexander McQueens High-waisted pleated skirt for £670.
