Actually, the traditional clothing for Malay in Malaysia are not such complex as others. Therefore, traditional people like to wear it on doing their daily work life. For man, actually there are 2 type of dress named Baju Melayu Cekak Musang and Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga. The different between both are where they are from and the appearance itself. Both can be matched with a hand woven songket sarong with floral design and a headgear known Tanjak.
The lady is beautifully dressed in a flowery songket Baju Kurung Telok Belanga matched with a sarong neatly tied in the ombak mengalun technique or translated as flowing waves. The outfit is complemented with a shawl. For some place like Kedah, Kebaya will be their traditional outfit. basically, dress for women will be based on their work and status.
