Malay clothing

Malay men and women wear colorful clothes. Malays have their traditional clothes, called dresses. Dresses are worn on formal occasions and grand festivals. The more popular dress is "Buddy" (batik). Badi clothing worn by men is called Malaysia's national costume. Buddy has exquisite designs, various patterns and unique styles, and some knitting techniques are quite fine. Buddy is a long-sleeved shirt with a symmetrical pattern, but one with an asymmetrical pattern is not the real Buddy. Buddy is made of batik cloth and silk with different textures, but most of them are wide, big, thin and cold. "Buddies" have long sleeves and short sleeves, and those who attend dinner wear long sleeves. Traditional Malay women's dresses are divided into tops and sarongs (tube skirts), which are as wide as robes and have long sleeves. The apron is very wide, usually as long as the ankle. When Malay women wear traditional clothes, they wear a thin and gorgeous scarf over their shoulders or chests. Their dress code forbids topless and bare arms. The modeling and design features of Malay costumes have strong national feelings.

Malaysians prefer bright colors such as red and orange. They think black is a negative color. Therefore, Malay clothing always gives you a happy and unrestrained feeling, showing tropical customs everywhere. Malay men usually wear "Balu" on weekdays, and their lower bodies are surrounded by "sand cages". Women wear long jumpsuits without collars and long-sleeved headscarves, which is a perfect combination of seriousness and gorgeousness.

People who have been to Malaysia remember it vividly. Teams of Malay women dressed in colorful sarongs are like bunches of flowers blooming in spring, dressing up small towns in Malaysia.
