The last-minute Hari Raya edit: Beautiful pieces you can still buy

Raya celebrations can stretch across a month of visits and gatherings — so one outfit rarely is never enough. These last-minute modest fashion finds will carry you through the season in style.

The first weeks of Ramadan have a way of slipping through your fingers before you’ve even caught your breath. Between the pre-dawn meals, long work days, and the particular kind of tiredness that comes with fasting, thinking about what to wear for Raya can feel like a problem for future you.

But Hari Raya is worth dressing for — not for the photos, not for the relatives, but for the way the right outfit can make you feel present in a moment you’ve been working towards for a whole month.

Whether you grew up reaching for a kurung, a kebaya, a sari, or something that doesn’t fit neatly into any category, modest dressing for the festive season looks different across Singapore’s Muslim communities — and that’s exactly what makes it worth exploring. Ahead, we’ve pulled together pieces that speak to that range: considered, wearable, and genuinely beautiful. Consider this your cheat sheet to shopping with intention.

Whimsigirl

Amelie two-piece linen kebaya top, $117 and knot skirt, $107.77

Whimsigirl caused a stir last year. This year, the internet practically lost its mind — and honestly, fair enough. The Great Estate Collection is three volumes of Whimsigirl doing what she does best: putting the woman at the centre of everything. The clothes don’t dress her. They respond to her. Case in point: the Amelie. A fresh take on the kebaya with a structured flap lapel, full sleeves, and a separate camisole — fully lined with cotton, because looking this good shouldn’t require suffering. It’s the kind of piece that makes you walk into a room like you already own it. Which, if you think about it, is very on-brand for The Great Estate.

SAOI

Suzy in Sakura, $171

SAOI knows how to show up for a moment — and A Soiree Affair is no exception. Built for Eid gatherings and the kind of evenings worth remembering, the collection lives in SAOI’s sweet spot: soft where it counts, structured where it matters. Their Suzy is a stand-out: mandarin collar neckline with a button-up kebaya front finished with frog knot buttons.  — the kebaya equivalent of walking in already knowing.

Nothing Changes

Isadora Lace Kurung, $147.67

Nothing Changes builds on a simple but quietly radical idea: that luxury and affordability shouldn’t have to be negotiated. The brand trades fleeting trends for minimalist, elevated design — pieces that don’t need a season to justify their existence. Their structural silhouettes definitely command attention, we love the little nod to a more avante garde style while still keeping it in shades of spring.

Our Second Nature

Floral Flared Top & Skirt, $95 each (sold separately)

Our Second Nature’s Raya Edit isn’t chasing trends — it’s chasing something that actually lasts. Textures and floral motifs woven together with the kind of intention that mirrors what family does best: finds harmony in the mix. These are pieces built for milestones and mundane Tuesdays alike, because the love that holds a home together doesn’t clock out after Raya. Wear them accordingly. Bonus: they’ve actually got pieces for the men and kids too!

Nimbu

Tara sets, from $79.90 for kids sets and $139.90 for adults

Even though there’s quite a sizeable Indian Muslim community in Singapore, desi clothes during Eid don’t get the same front and centre mention — but if you want to pay homage to your roots, Nimbu does it well. The best part is they have matchy sets for the whole family.

Henne Made

Printed kebaya sets $180 and wrap skirt $65 (sold separately)

Henne Made started the way the best ideas do — personally. The designer, Dahlia Mohd, had long been mixing batik and heritage wear into her everyday wardrobe and figured other women deserved it too. Every piece is made with women-led workshops and artisans, every fabric is deadstock — which means limited runs, higher costs per unit, and a deliberate choice to put the planet before profit. Their short-sleeve modern kebaya with midi wrap skirts in seersucker is currently their best seller, which feels about right.

Hanya

Sora Kurung, $170.13

The Hanya team named their Eid collection Alma, the Latin word for soul; and unironically, the collection isn’t interested in beauty at full volume. It’s drawn to the moment just after peak bloom, when colours soften and something more honest comes through. Less performance, more presence. It was personal off the page too. For the first time in years, founders Veen Dee and Jaja designed everything themselves — a return to the instinct and feeling that started Hanya in the first place. Some things are worth going back to. The Sora Kurung embodies just this — feminine, sleek and versatile, all in a set worthy of space in your Raya rotation.

Petit Moi

Camelia Organza Skirt, $83.84 and Camelia Top, $100.02

Petit Moi is known for matchy clothes for mums and daughters, and this year, it’s no different. They’ve leaned into the romanticism rhetoric with frills, beading, polka dots and florals.

Arared

Jeanne set in Aqua, $194

Arared is never not drenched in a myriad of colours and their Raya collection this year is no different. We love the flutter sleeves and rippling hem in this number.

Petra


Idalia Kurung Kedah in Soft Yellow, $129.23

Petra knows how to do grown up femininity and they do it well. We love the pario-style skirt paired with the organza top which can be worn as separates beyond Raya.

Batika

Lace kebaya in teal, $289

Batika pays homage to your Nusantara roots with their range of kebayas. Made from delicate yet structured lace, this kebaya features a fitted silhouette that elegantly contours the body. Intricate lace detailing adds refinement, while the precise tailoring creates a sleek, flattering finish.

Batika

Hani Mokta

Gilded Structured Kimono Set in Lapis, $194.68

Few brands pull off colour and print as exquisitely as Hani Mokta does. If you’re unafraid of clashing prints, bright, bold colours, this structured kimono set is one that’s Tiktok transition worthy.

Umbi

Lorina Beaded Kurung Set, $155.20


Umbi’s  Lorina Beaded Kurung Set features a Mandarin collar tunic and satin column skirt, elevated with delicate organza beadwork for an elegant Eid fit.

Mimpi Kita

Ruby Kedah Modern Kurung Set, $211

The Ruby Kedah Modern Kurung Set reimagines the classic Baju Kedah with a clean, structured silhouette in a vibrant satin-blend print. Paired with a matching organza selendang, you’d be serving kuih and slay for Raya and beyond.

Mimpi Kita

Innai & Co

Sienna, $243.38

Almost worthy of a Bridgerton set, this Kurung Kedah flows with an airy, fluid elegance. Lace panels and puff sleeves introduce subtle texture and romantic volume for a relaxed yet polished silhouette.
