With Ramadhan just around the corner, we telepathically sense the general mood of unrest amongst fashion-minded ladies as they busy themselves in daydreams about just what would they be wearing come Raya.
Worry not as we’re in the business to make it easier for you: We’ll be rounding up a few trending fashion ideas for Eid 2013.
The peplum trend kick-starts this fashion for Raya series. Aided by lookbook, I’ve selected a few peplum looks that can be used for your quick Raya fashion inspiration.
With baju kurung peplum becoming a fast-selling favorite across the country, I thought it would be also interesting to look at peplum blouses and dresses that can be easily incorporated into your Raya ensembles.
Begin, we shall:
Keep it very black and conservative with a ruffly black peplum top paired with a pair of black wide-legged flowy pants. If you’re more comfortable with long sleeved peplum blouses, I’m sure there are limitless of choices to be found in our local boutiques, virtual and offline.
♥ electric blue peplum lace dress by Love
To make a fashion statement with color and texture, electric blue lace dress will be an immediate scene-stealer. With a figure-flaunting dress like this, I’d suggest keeping it minimal on the jewelry end. But you can rebel and wear chunky colorful bling bling instead. Different strokes for different fashion-conscious folks.

Lace peplum blouse in a cream shade is a perfect feminine piece that can be worn with a batik sarong. The cut of the peplum blouse is almost similar to the traditional kebaya that it can be utilized as a chic modern alternative. Mixing up the modern and retro elements is just the way to go as far as the current fashion zeitgeist dictates.

White peplum blouses go with just about anything. If you’re into a casual Raya look, I’d suggest wearing them simply with a colored fitted denim. But if that’s too casual for your liking, wear a fishtail maxi skirt in a pastel shade. And if that’s too boring, make your grandma proud by wearing a batik sarong. Customize your look with dainty gold jewelry and you’re done!

A peplum shirt in white is such a chic fashion staple that it should already be in every style-alert gal’s closet. It can be dressed up or down and if you’re a bit like me, you’d be happy to finish off with a pair of skinny jeans. On the other hand, a pencil skirt would be a dressier option.
