Starchild: Malaysian children share their fashion choices

Chloe Leong Xizhen, 8

When at home, most children would wear a T-shirt and shorts or pants – not only are they comfortable, they are also easy to move (or jump) around in. Some children don’t mind wearing hand-me-downs from their older siblings while others prefer to have their own clothes that reflect their own fashion sense.

There are also many who like wearing traditional costumes such as baju kurung, cheongsam and salwar kameez, whether at home or when going out. We all have our fashion preferences but for many, the most important criteria when choosing what we wear is comfort.
