In the closet now, how the hell batik clothes do you have? One two? How often you wear it? Is your dress has become the choice of daily, or only when a formal occasion he came out of the closet? On October 2, the world community celebrated every year as the International Batik Day. Are you wearing today batikmu proud? Did you find reasons to love the cultural heritage? If not, Lauri Lahi could explain the reason why you should be more often wear batik. This article under his own creation, and written on his personal proposal. Hopefully with this we are so much respect batik, yes! It has been more than three years I lived in Indonesia. In many ways I tried to show respect to my new home. One of them is wearing a traditional Indonesian clothing, batik. Now is the International Batik Day. It feels good when I share the reasons why people should be more frequent Indonesian batik wear. Perhaps the perspective of a foreigner can make you look amazing clothes from a new angle.
1. Batik was amazing
First time I went to Indonesia, I was surprised to see many people wearing colorful and patterned "crazy" (in a good sense). I see men wearing floral and blue-purple. In other countries it may be a strange sight. But Indonesian men who wear this outfit just looks dignity and adults. Colorful clothes are more "crowded" again if used by females. One can have an orange shirt at once green. Motive was various. There is a picture of a bird up (I've heard) herbs. Wah. I was surprised and proud. How can outfit with a "concept" as busy as it looks suitably worn everyone? Sometimes until now if I want to see women berkebaya stopped him and said, "Your clothes really beautiful."
2. Batik connecting thousands of people from different backgrounds
I usually wear batik every Friday. Every time I wear it people around me would smile wider. I thought, "This is a good way to start my day." Not only connect strangers with Indonesian citizens only. Indonesian batik is also unify the one and the other. From Sumatra to Papua. All tribes have indigenous cultures different. But all know what it is batik. Batik is the collective identity of the people of Indonesia.
3. You can show that you are proud of Indonesian
Batik is the easiest way to show your pride as an Indonesian. You do not need to be an Olympic athlete and won gold. You do not have to be traditional dancing and sent abroad. Simply open your closet and wear traditional clothing that you have. Anyway it would not hurt.
4. Buying batik equal to encourage local economic wheel
This time, I was struggling in the economic sector. I got into the habit to estimate the impact of an item with the local economy. Including batik. Every time you buy batik, you support the economic advancement of the country itself. Make a plain fabric to be "well" in the form of ready made garments and took a long time. There are people who work preparing textile, there are prepared pengecapnya, no taste, no cut so dress material, no sew, there are added buttons, there are delivered to the store, there are keeping the shop, and there was a cashier who smiles to you when receiving money that you handed it to buy batik shirt. Everyone is connected through the clothes alone. Not to mention if you buy batik. You do not only support the economy, but also art. If you want, when you buy directly from the manufacturer batik local time, let them take profit more than usual. They deserve it.

5. Grateful had traditional clothing that can be worn everyday
In my country, there are people who rarely go out with our traditional clothing. It could even be said no. Unless there is a party of the people, a wedding, or event like. Our traditional clothes too impractical for everyday wear. Better we wore modern clothes only. It's not like batik just your stay and buttoned up. In addition, the color of our traditional clothes are also more innocent. Unlike the rich batik style, tone, and expression. I think you may be grateful to have clothing that can be so beautiful yet practical if worn.
6. Batik can channel your creativity
Colors and patterns are endless. The shape can vary, from fancy dress to a football shirt. (I did not really like football shirt motif, but each person has their own individual tastes). You really liberated creativity channeled through batik. Want to carve any image, any dip in ink, not prohibited.
7. Introducing the world on Indonesian cultural heritage
There are some disturbing questions in my head. Why could Hawaiian shirt famous around the world, but batik is not? Could it be because the Hawaiian-style shirt marketed better? So, how do batik can be as famous as Hawaiian shirts? One that we can do is wear it more often. If you go abroad, always bring your best batik clothing. Believe me, many people will come to you and ask, "What is this colorful thing you are wearing?" If you want to promote Indonesia, there is no better time than when you answer it. Well, after reading the above Lauri, never embarrassed to wear batikmu. Take out of the closet and memacaklah! When else try, you can be stylish at the same time expresses pride in the country?
