Matching family outfits is something that never goes out of style. Whether it’s matching shirts for your family vacation or even your annual festive holiday family photoshoot session, having everyone glammed up in outfits that complement each other just makes everything so much more fun and memorable. 

Festive holidays such as Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year are perfect occasions for dolling up your family in batik wear. For families who want to truly showcase their personalities or have little ones with strong style opinions of their own, why not change it up a little with shirts in different prints but similar colour palettes instead? That way, you’ll keep things exciting and everyone gets to choose their own favourite print while still matching with the rest of the family — and that’s a win-win solution in our books!

Thinking about how to style your family in batik shirts and dresses for your next family OOTD or vacation snap? We’ve got you covered with several suggestions for batik couple sets and family outfits too!

Masterpiece Series for the Gentlemen

A gentleman is always well-dressed, but dressing up doesn’t have to mean settling for stylish but uncomfortable outfits, especially if you’re a dad. Being the pillar of the family doesn’t often leave much time or energy for dressing up, so let’s keep it simple with batik shirts and outfits that will help keep you cool as you go about your Super Dad duties, be it capturing precious moments on camera during holiday trips with your family or even making sure everyone stays safe when out and about. The Masterpiece series is the perfect fit for busy dads no matter the occasion. Take your pick between short sleeves for fun outings or amp up the luxe factor with a long sleeved version for romantic days when you need some time off as a couple, there’s no set rules for dressing up. Our versatile Masterpiece series is crafted from breathable fabrics, designed by Kapten Batik’s in-house artists and hand-blocked by batik artisans for the perfect look no matter the occasion. 

Dads often set the tone for their families, and that tone can even extend to their style, especially when it comes to their teenage sons. As sons grow, they naturally gravitate towards their dads, often mirroring their interests and mannerisms. Why not extend that to their wardrobe? Matching batik shirts create a heartwarming sense of unity, a visual representation of the special father-son bond. But for budding style mavens who crave a touch of individuality, there's no need to abandon the family theme entirely. The Maharaja series offers a range of contemporary batik designs in cool pastels and soft colour combinations, allowing them to express their unique style while still rocking a coordinated look with dad.
