Pleats are generally widely applied and accepted in many designs of clothes, whether it be Eid-related or not. A number of fashion designers such as Rico Rinaldi and Rizman Ruzaini incorporated pleats in their collections of baju raya 2021. But even before those designers introduced their pleated creations, pleats are already popular and fashionable because of a wave of Korean fashion – you can see Malaysian girls wearing pleated skirts, pleated blouses etc.

Pleated shawls have been around for quite a while, but are only getting massive recognition since last year (that was when a lot of people took a liking to pleated shawls from various hijab businesses including dUCk, Naelofar, TudungPeople, Poplook, and XO Hijab). This year, pleated shawls are very much still in style, many hijab businesses still sell and promote them especially since Eid gets near and nearer, so that explains why I think pleated shawls will possibly be in Eid 2021 fashion trend.
Also, pleated shawls are so easy to style.
Next, satin/silk scarves. They’re my favorites! I always feel the prettiest (and rich) wearing anything satin. I actually believe they’ve been in style for many years now and never actually became irrelevant, so it definitely makes sense if they stay during Eid 2021. All types of satin/silk scarves: plain and printed, shawl and bawal are pretty and popular, but if I have to bet which of them will have the biggest influence on Eid fashion this year, I’d put my money on plain satin/silk shawls.
Once again, my predictions may be inaccurate, and I apologize in advance. Do know that you can wear whatever else you want without following the trend. Have fun!
