O f all the rapidly recurring fashion trends — see also kitten heels, which seem to return to favour every time the wind changes; and grey, which is for ever more “the new hot colour” — the kilt is perhaps the most consistent. Certainly the Highland failsafe is never out of fashion’s favour for long. Or ever, depending on who you’re talking to.
This skirt (if I can call it that), which is distinguished by its wide pleats and sturdy belted fastening, is a wardrobe staple for many. It’s also fashion gold this winter, with high street retailers and luxury labels offering great ones in their new collections. From M&S to Dior, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a brand that isn’t paying some sort of homage.
