Pleated miniskirts are having a moment, but you can strike a fashion-forward twist with Off-White’s daring soft leather take – complete with a waist belt and patch pocket

Balmain’s pleated virgin wool miniskirt will pair with anything, Thom Browne offers a cute, preppy take, and Chopova Lowena’s chequered skirt spots a crystal-embellished belt

The pleated mini is having a moment and to show that we picked not one but four designs in different styles and fabrics …

Balmain

Balmain’s pleated virgin wool miniskirt will go with everything from skin-tight pieces to smartly tailored blouses and is decorated with the maison’s signature gold buttons. Available at Mytheresa.

Thom Browne

We love this pleated wool miniskirt from designer Thom Browne. The preppy design features multicoloured checks, inverted pleats and the American designer’s iconic red, white and blue tag. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Off-White

Crafted from buttery soft leather, Off-White’s pleated miniskirt features a buckled waist belt and a patch pocket on the back. Style yours with a crisp white shirt. Available at Farfetch.
