Batik (still) rules Idul Fitri fashion

For many Indonesians, the post-fasting festivity of Idul Fitri, locally known as Lebaran, is often associated with new clothes. The new attire is worn when people visit relatives and friends.

Having regained its popularity in the last few years, batik remains the fashion trend for the upcoming Idul Fitri, as some local fashion designers and apparel manufacturer bring batik to the catwalk.

Local producer Allure Batik, famous for its color gradation style, for example, bought tunics on stage during the Exobatika event, held in mid-August at Plaza Indonesia shopping center.

The collection is quite simple and uses a palette of earth colors. The tunics are easily matched with other clothes and are suitable for both formal and casual occasions.

Allure uses sheer fabrics and puts some unique touches on the sleeves and necklines, making them strikingly feminine.

Take the sheer violet tunic with its wide sleeves and batik detail on the neckline, or the long brick-red sheer tunic, which is paired with a brown camisole and black pants.

A formal look can be seen in a combination of the red-and-pink silk batik tunic mixed with black leggings, while a sheer tunic with asymmetric decoration on the forearms in a color gradation of green, brown and red gives a feminine look.
