Hari Raya Puasa is a day of joyous celebration, feasting, family, and dressing to the nines, but finding new and refreshing ways to dress for this special day can be tricky. This year we rounded up a few simple tricks to help breathe new life into your Hari Raya garb (or any look) this year. Selamat Hari Raya!
Pop Of Colour
Topshop Petite Satin Monkey Midi Dress S$109.00
Topman Blue Check Skinny Suit Trousers $129.00
Topshop Polka Dot Tie Front T-Shirt S$59.90
Hari Raya outfits have traditionally been bright and bold from head to toe, but using colour strategically can be just as, or more, statement making.
We especially like the idea of layering colours, since colour blocking has been a huge trend this season. Get the look by layering all sorts of colours— personally, we’d pair the pastel pink of our Topshop Midi over with pastel blue jeans, or the bright red polka-dot top over a mustard yellow turtleneck.
Prints
BCBGMaxazria Viviane Broken Reflection Maxi Dress $569.00
Topman Funnel Neck Shirt $119.00
Warehouse Lauren Floral Jumpsuit $149.00
Prints add another dimension of intrigue to any outfit, and are great for layering with plain shirts or pieces, making future outfit combinations endless! For a Hari Raya menswear look that’s very on-trend, we opted for the striped funnel neck shirt from Topman, a versatile piece that can take you from day to night!
Accessorising
Topman Attick Retro Sneaker $89.90
Topshop Queenie Velvet Bum Bag S$49.90
Topshop Darla 2 Part Block Heel Sandals S$69.90
Accessories are an easy way to elevate any outfit, but for one that traditionally features bright colours, it’s important we don’t go over the top. A velvet bum bag that cinches the waist can add dimension to your silhouette, and texture to your outfit without seeming too extra.
Layering For The Heat
Topshop Mix Spotted Midi Dress S$119.00
FOX Kids Checkered Blouse $39.90
Topman Pink Twill Long Sleeve Shirt $59.90
Layering in our tropical heat can be a struggle, and we don’t want that while we’re celebrating! A simple tip is to keep your largest layers light and loose, like we did with our breezy mix spotted dress from Topshop. Layered over jeans or a fitted long sleeve top, the billowy dress will keep you feeling cool and looking chic all day.
