The kebaya for women in Solo is generally more elegant and graceful, often combined with batik fabric or jarik wrapped as the lower garment. This kebaya is frequently adorned with accessories such as a shawl and traditional jewelry, adding a luxurious and graceful impression. As a symbol of beauty and modesty, the Solo kebaya is commonly worn for ceremonial events, weddings, or other cultural celebrations.
In addition to the main garments, there are distinctive accessories such as the blangkon, keris, and flower garlands that enrich the overall appearance. The blangkon, available in various shapes and colors, reflects the wearer’s social status, while the keris, aside from being an accessory, holds symbolic meaning as a sacred object that embodies power. The garland of jasmine flowers symbolizes purity and honor.
