How are we already about to celebrate Hari Raya? And is it just me, or do Eid celebrations post-COVID-19 seem bigger than they ever were? I’m not here to complain; instead, I am rejoicing in the fact that we can celebrate such occasions with family and friends.
What I love most about Hari Raya is not just the incredible spread that often comes with house visits but also everyone’s tremendous efforts to look their best. For some families, matching outfits are a must, and thank goodness for our local brands because they understand how important it is to be sedondon-ing with your loved ones.
Here are 12 brands to get you started with planning your outfits.

Get yourself in the mood for Hari Raya with Petra’s chic and bold designs that will have you receiving compliments left, right, and centre. Their Lebaran collection, as always, evokes the power of colours through different silhouettes. If you feel like matching with your little ones, Petra Petite has some great options.
2. Alia Bastamam
A powerhouse name in the local fashion scene, Alia Bastamam wows again with her Eid 2024 Collection. If there is one word to describe this collection, it would be magical. Doing what she does best, each piece complements a woman’s duality. From dark hues to a soft shade, there is a colour to suit everyone.
