Know the main styles

A few classic cuts suit Raya beautifully: the kutubaru (with its signature front panel), the encim (a lighter, embroidered style), and modern kebaya tops designed to pair with today's wardrobes. Choose the silhouette you feel most yourself in.

Pick a festive colour

Soft pastels, earthy neutrals, and gentle jewel tones all feel right for Raya — celebratory without overpowering. If you are coordinating with family, agree on one palette and choose your shade within it.
