How cool does Kate look here? I'm officially sold on both the mirrored sunglasses and thick framed eyeglasses. Check out the rest of the campaign over on Who What Wear.

TWO WAYS: BRIGHT SUMMER LOOKS WITH PLEATED DETAILS

Super Sunglasses Gals Sunglasses // Need Supply Cross Over Crop Tank // Balenciaga Papier Neo Handle Bag (similar here) // ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt // Enrico Lucgani Checked Pump

Veronique Branquinho Sleeveless Blazer // Olivia Palermo x Westward Leaning Sunglasses // Smythson 1887 Collection Tote // French Connection Chelsea Colorblocked Tote // Pinko Contrast Hem Pleated Skirt // Aquazzura Mayfair Peep Toe Booties (also here)

Elizabeth Minett and Olivia Palermo look stunning in two bright summer looks with pleated details. I'm crushing on Olivia's orange sleeveless blazer, which she wore over a pleated maxi skirt turned dress. Just wish she had switched the heels and bag for simple black options. As for Elizabeth, I love how she gave her pink pleated high-waisted skirt a minimal feel with a black crop top and Balenciaga clutch.
