Kebaya used to be worn only on official occasions like weddings and national events. But it's now commonplace for every day use. You can wear it at parties, celebrations, or other social gatherings. It is often paired with a skirt, sarong, or kain panjang (a wrap-around skirt).

The batik shirt, a popular piece Indonesian national clothing, is also very well-known. This shirt has been in use since over 1000 years. This type of fabric is traditionally hand-dyed using wax resist processes and is available in beautiful colors that vary from one region to the next.


This fabric is very popular in Indonesian men’s clothing, particularly on Java and Sumatra. These shirts can be either long- or short-sleeved and are extremely comfortable.

A sarong is a wrap-around skirt that drapes over one shoulder and is often worn with the batik shirt. The sarong or kain panjang may be embellished with embroidery and beads, as well.

The fashion of Indonesian men has changed dramatically over the past decade. A result of Islamic influence the traditional sarong was replaced by a more conservative design.

The batik shirt is Indonesia's most popular male costume. The shirt can either be long-sleeved, or short-sleeved. It can also be paired with a Sarong, which can be a wraparound skirt or cloth that can be draped over one side.

Some men sport the peci, which is a black cap with the shape of an Egyptian fez. This cap is often worn to ceremonial and official functions by the Indonesian President and other government officials.

Although the peci symbolises Indonesian nationality it is not required that Muslim men wear it. They may choose to wear it for another reason, such as support of a political cause or interest in the religion.

A variety of Indonesian designers have created amazing collections inspired by traditional textiles and costumes such as Tex Saverio, Biyan Wanaatmadja and Biyan Wanaatmadja. This collection is a testament to the beauty and elegance of these designers, which are also heavily influenced by local culture.

How To

How to choose the best shoes for you

There are a few things you should remember when choosing shoes. It is important to select the right size shoe. If you're buying your first pair of shoes, you need to know what size you are. Also, make sure that they fit well. They are unlikely to last long if you feel uncomfortable in them.

Another important thing to think about is the type of shoes you would like to wear. Are you looking for casual, work, sport, or dressy shoes? Are you looking to find shoes that suit different occasions? Formal shoes, for example, are most commonly worn at weddings and parties. Sneakers are more appropriate for sports activities. Your personal preferences and lifestyle will dictate the kind of shoes that you choose.

The third is the material. The most durable and timeless shoes are leather, but they are costly. Although they are less durable than leather shoes, synthetic materials like rubber, canvas and mesh are much cheaper than leather. While plastic might seem cheaper than leather, that doesn't necessarily mean they don't look great. There are many different types of synthetic materials such as suede, nubuck or microfiber. They are inexpensive and easy to maintain.

Last, consider how much money are you willing to spend. Quality shoes will cost more but there aren't many differences in the prices between brands. Don't be afraid to spend a lot on shoes. You'll get great value.
