Eid is just around the corner and you’ve yet to decide on what to wear for Hari Raya. Panic looms. But not for long because you’re just in time for the next Eid-appropriate trend suggestion in our back-to-back Fashion for Raya series – Pleated Skirts.
Ultimately, when it comes down right to the underlying meaning of this celebration, we ought to know better than to be too obsessed right in the wardrobe department right?
Now that’s been made clear, this piece is dedicated to the regular fashionistas who can’t help but desire to appear extra lovely on the outside (as well as on the inside) during Hari Raya Aidifitri.
Below are a few selected pleated looks that have been rounded up for your perusal and hopefully they inspire that perfect Hari Raya outfit.
Pleated detailing on a skirt like this epitomizes a very demure look. I love how the whole outfit is pulled together with the practical bag, skinny belt and simple loafers – all in a muted earthy brown shade. That cutout shoulder tease top is too splendid for words!

If a cream colored pleated maxi skirt seems too girly, toughen it up with a monochrome striped top and leather jacket. If you’re in a sweltering humid country which is what Malaysia is like all year long with the bouts of violent thunderstorms, lose the leather. Bring an umbrella instead.

To get a dark mysterious look, team your golden brown skirt with a plain black top. For added interest, throw on a pop of leopard in the form of a hand-carry purse.

For ladies infected with a love for pastels, this sweet lavender shade is as refreshing as a stroll in a garden filled with aromatic blooming flowers.
