Tips for Choosing Baju Melayu: Life and Experiences

In Malaysia, the baju melayu is synonymous with Muslim male clothing making it always in demand especially on Hari Raya. There was a time when this shirt was only worn by men when praying at the mosque or to celebrate the moment of Hari Raya. But now baju Melayu is often seen worn at special events and occasions.

The styles of baju Melayu are increasingly diverse as if they don’t want to be outdone by the development of women’s Muslim clothing. But, how do you choose a baju Melayu to make it look fashionable and modern? Let’s take a look at the following tips for choosing a modern baju Melayu

1. Choose a baju Melayu with a minimalist design

We recommend that you choose a baju melayu with a minimalist design or even if it has a modern design, choose one that is simple and not crowded. It would be much better if you choose a plain baju melayu for a modern impression.

 2. The size of must fit the body

This does not mean that you have to choose a baju melayu with a slim-fit cutting. However, make sure the baju Melayu you wear fits your body nicely and doesn’t look too big, both in terms of the length of the shirt, the width of the shirt, as well as the length of the sleeves.

Moreover, if you don’t wear it with a proper sampin, the baju Melayu is usually not tucked into the pants, so it will look bad if you wear an oversized baju Melayu. If you shop online, make sure you ask for details on the size of the baju Melayu so that you can adjust it to your body size.

3. Choose a baju melayu that is made from a comfortable material

The best materials for a baju melayu are cotton and linen. Both of these materials feel comfortable while also able to absorb sweat well. So, it won’t make you hot or sweaty when you wear it for prayers. You can also choose baju melayu with materials that are very modern and contemporary. This baju Melayu is more casual, so you can also wear it to the office on Fridays.

4. Choose a neutral color baju Melayu

This doesn’t mean you can’t choose bright colors. However, a baju Melayu with a neutral color will give a man a modern minimalist impression. For example, the neutral colors of earth tones. Another advantage, you can easily match the neutral color with your partners.

5. If you shop online, don’t forget to read the review

This is the most important step! If you want to buy baju melayu online, make sure you read the buyer’s review.

Read and research the quality, the delivery period, and the seller ratings. Do not just be tempted by pictures, read the reviews, and do proper research on the baju melayu that you want to buy. Note whether the material is easily torn, comfortable to wear, or flexible and match it to your needs.
