One of this season’s most-wanted styles, this beautiful satin skirt combines two key looks: bold red and elegant pleats. It’s sophisticated enough to wear after dark, yet also understated when teamed with a classic tee for day.
Whistles excels at taking a considered approach to the season’s key looks, delivering refined, everyday style, without slavishly following here-today-gone-tomorrow trends. With small but perfectly-formed collections, Whistles is a mainstay for women wanting high quality, carefully considered design, for every day of the week.
'Another Whistles mainstay: a pleated skirt. Layer now with mid-calf boots and a polo-neck, slip into sneakers and a T-shirt for Spring.' 16 February 2018.
Telegraph.co.uk head of fashion, Lisa Armstrong says: "Some women find skirts bothersome – all that accessorising. But think of the versatility. If your body isn’t standard (and whose is?), dresses can be impossible, fit-wise. If you like head-to-toe neatness, seek skirts with co-ord options. The most flattering shapes are not bias-cut, but soft and fluid (there’s a reason the pleated skirt is a modern classic)." 2 March 2018.
