What to wear for raya visiting and open houses
Visiting is the heart of the day, and the common advice is simple: dressing modestly signals respect. For guests, that means covered shoulders and knees, and avoiding very tight, sheer or revealing clothes. Flip-flops and tank tops are discouraged (The Honeycombers).

Baju raya, batik and kebaya: how they fit
Many Singapore families wear baju kurung (a long tunic and skirt) or baju melayu (the men's traditional set) for hari raya. Batik and kebaya are not a replacement for those, but they sit comfortably alongside them, especially for open houses, office gatherings and friends' homes, where smart and modest is the aim. See baju kurung vs kebaya for the differences.
The kebaya is a front-opening upper garment worn across Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and southern Thailand, and was inscribed on UNESCO's list in December 2024 as a joint submission by five countries (Wikipedia). That shared heritage is why a kebaya top feels at home at a Singapore raya gathering.

Kebaya for women: easy options for Singapore
For women, an embroidered cotton kebaya blouse such as the Celina long-sleeve kebaya gives full-arm coverage in a breathable cotton. Pair it with a long skirt or a batik wrap skirt. The wider women's tops collection includes both long- and short-sleeve kebaya tops.
If you prefer short sleeves for the heat, wear a light cardigan or outer over the top for visiting, then remove it for photos. For non-Muslim guests, The Honeycombers notes you can wear baju raya if you own or borrow one; otherwise, dress modestly.
Matching family outfits and sarimbit sets
Matching outfits are a way of showing togetherness. The green linked with Raya is associated with Islam and stands for peace and harmony, per The Honeycombers, though families choose many colours. A simple way to coordinate is one shared colour family rather than identical prints.

Men: batik shirts for raya visiting
For men, a long-sleeve batik shirt with dark trousers is a smart option for open houses. Browse the premium cotton collection or the long-sleeve dobby collection. Indonesian sizes run one to two sizes smaller than Western labels, so check the size chart before you order.
Ordering to Singapore
Delivery to Singapore takes 3 to 5 working days from dispatch, and shipping is usually under IDR 100,000 (about SGD 8), with free international delivery above SGD 100. Clothing carries no customs duty in Singapore, and air parcels with a CIF value of S$400 or less can qualify for GST import relief (Singapore Customs). Delivery counts from dispatch, so order early rather than close to the date.
