Every girl needs a useful styling piece in their wardrobe and we love this pleated cape - very Richard Nicoll. Work this little gem with jeans or a dress for evening

The mix of graphic but delicate pleating gives this dress a strong look. Perfect with chunky black wedges and layered bangles

The simple top makes this dress an easy pleat look. The colour can be tricky on some skin tones but looks great on olive and dark skin. Wear with tan leather and wooden heels

Not the easiest dress to wear but the maxi length creates the illusion of a taller silhouette. This dress can be worn with or without a skinny belt to give a waist. We recommend high wedges and a pendant necklace to finish off the look

We love the suggestion of the pleat trend on the collar of this blouse. Go for the whole ladylike look and wear with an A-line cream skirt and wooden sandals

Delicate and girly with a front ruffle in the prettiest of nude tones. All that's missing is a field of country flowers and a Flake. This skirt is the perfect travel companion - tie in a knot and pop in your weekend bag

This skirt has been a hit with the fashion pack. We adore the colour but this is not a skirt for pear shapes as the pleating drops from a high waist. However, this is the perfect skirt for a boyish shape. Dress down with pumps or flat sandals

A printed pleat is the perfect way to wear this trend; the print moves with the pleats. Wear with a bright green vest and black sandals
