Literally, Everyone At Who What Wear Is Shopping and Styling This Pretty Skirt Trend Right Now

There are a lot of places I look towards when I'm trying to track down new season trends. Of course, there's Instagram and street style images, but my absolute favourite is right under my nose, in Who What Wear's very own office. A revolving door of new-season trends and timeless staples, the Who What Wear team know a thing or two about what makes a great buy, so naturally, when I spotted so many of my colleagues wearing the very same skirt trend this week, I knew we were onto something very special.

Twinning in box pleats, I locked eyes with four of Who What Wear's very own styling the pleated skirt trend. Wearing them with comfortable knits, form-fitting tees and matching sets, this elevated skirt has officially found a few new fans in the heart of London.

And for good reason. Employing a pretty pleat detailing that offers a swishy finish and smart design, this skirt has all the hallmarks of becoming a wardrobe classic. Where concertina pleats have dominated in the past, this more minimal take on the look also taps into the soft structure and neat finish that make it perfectly aligned with spring/summer 2025's move towards to tailoring.
