Abstract
Clothing is a combination between religion and modesty, an increase in self-confidence, the look of professionalism, culture, identity, social status, values, and many more. In everyday life, clothing provides information of appearance that indicates the origin of the wearer and carries messages with a significant impact on social relationships. Many studies on Malay clothing have been conducted focusing on traditional clothing. This study would lead toward a potential framework of appropriate justification on clothing-content components of perceptual elements as a guideline in describing Malay clothing characteristics. Hence, this complements the prevailing related literature that significantly retains national social identity. Keywords: Malay, Malay Clothing, Content Analysis eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022. The Authors.
