It’s May! Not only that we’re one month away from reaching the half of 2021, but our Muslim community is also gearing towards the celebration of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Every year in this period, we’ll see many people buying new clothes, cleaning their houses, preparing good foods, and planning for their visitations.

This year, nonetheless, the travel restrictions applied by the government following the need for social distancing in times of pandemic are going to change the way we celebrate this festive season.

Despite the circumstances, that doesn’t stop us from buying new clothes to make ourselves look good and show them off on social media as well. We could get the Malay traditional outfits in any clothing store out there as people are selling them for the trend, but it isn’t easy to locate a place that delivers perfect Raya clothes for you.

Without further ado, here are four outlets in Malaysia that you could visit for Raya Outfits this year.
