With Ramadan well underway, we’re already thinking of what to wear for Hari Raya – particularly for our kiddos!
It’s true what they say about mamas: they tend to put others’ needs ahead of theirs. And in this case it’s no less true, because although we’re still weeks away from the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, we can bet you’re already thinking of the family outfit colour theme.
But first, kids’ clothes! The art of staying comfortable throughout a whole day of visiting relatives is a hard one to master, but made much easier when you’ve got a stylish outfit that’ll make the family swoon. From gorgeous threads for girls to colourful sets for boys (complete with Marvel Endgame-themed buttons, omg!), check out our list of fave local and regional labels for kids’ Hari Raya fashion!

Started by a stylish grandmama who we’ve often seen dressing her too-sweet-for-words granddaughter, PickADillyBaby is a humble local label that stocks beautiful flouncy tops, dresses and sets. Previously based only on Instagram, they’ve now launched their online store for easier shopping. This year, they’ve created matching sets for bubbas in collaboration with Katt Ibrahim RTW. The colours and bold prints are absolutely irresistible, and can go beyond just special occasions like Hari Raya. Wear them as separates with sweat pants or jeans and your little one’s good for the weekend. PickADillyBaby also stocks clothes for boys!

With cute rompers, mini kaftans and baju kurungs in lovely shades, we’re all for a more ethically conscious Hari Raya this year!
