A
pleat is a type of fold that can be done using the fabric on clothing so that a
wide circumference can be narrowed.
However, for modern usage, it is commonly used for stylistic reasons.
While the use of pleats for any type of outfit in a Trinidadian’s wardrobe is not common, I believe that pleats can make a fashion statement without seeming dated if incorporated with just the right accessories.

Below is an accordion pleated top I purchased two weeks ago. There are three reasons this top is simply fashionable to me. Firstly, the turtle neck effect of the top allows the pleats to cascade elegantly. Secondly, the pleats were not overdone. A printed material was used and placed only to the front and not the back of the top and thirdly, by designing as a halter, this pleated top was transformed into a modern day dressy top quite suitable for a party.
Accessorise with a chunky gold bracelet and gold earrings or perhaps the accessories can contain a bit of burgundy to pair with the colour of the top.
What colour accessories do you prefer to wear this accordion top with?
I like the colour burgundy a lot but I'd pair this top with gold accessories to get that bling effect for a party.
