Baju Kedah

Blouse (Top) Loose Fit: The baju kedah top is a loose, straight-cut blouse designed for ease and comfort. It has a relaxed, boxy shape, allowing for better airflow and comfort in tropical climates. Length: The blouse usually falls to the hip or slightly below, making it shorter than some other traditional Malay attire like baju kurung. Sleeves: The sleeves are often three-quarter length or full-length, providing modest coverage. Neckline: It typically features a simple, collarless neckline, sometimes with a slight "V" or small slit at the front. This lack of a collar adds to the simplicity and comfort of the outfit. 2. Skirt (Kain or Sarong) Wrap-around Style: The blouse is traditionally paired with a wrap-around sarong, known as kain sarung, that is tied or wrapped at the waist and reaches down to the ankles. Patterns and Fabrics: The skirt often features intricate batik, songket, or floral patterns that contrast or complement the top. These designs can vary in detail, from simple prints to elaborate traditional motifs, making each piece unique. 3. Fabric Lightweight and Breathable: Made from materials like cotton, linen, or silk, the baju kedah is designed to be breathable, which is ideal for the warm, humid climate of Southeast Asia. Patterns and Colors: The blouse can come in solid colors or with subtle patterns, while the sarong usually has more detailed patterns, including batik or floral motifs, adding a touch of elegance and cultural richness.
