Shopee, TikTok, and Lazada dominate Ramadan shopping in Southeast Asia

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , /

For Fauzi Arif Hutama, who lives in the Indonesian city of Tangerang in Java, the holy month of Ramadan and celebrations for Eid al-Fitr are another excuse to check out deals on Shopee, the most popular e-commerce site in the country.

The 29-year-old electrician buys everything from clothing to food for his four pet cats on the Singapore-based Sea’s Shopee site. For Eid, which falls on April 10, he plans to spend his holiday bonus — equivalent to his monthly salary of 9 million rupiah ($566) — on snacks and refreshments for his relatives and neighbors and to also make charitable donations online. 

“I cannot remember the last time I bought something at a shopping mall,” he told Rest of World. “I do all my shopping online on Shopee.”

Hutama is not alone. Almost nine in 10 Muslim consumers in Indonesia will do some of their Ramdan shopping on Shopee, according to a recent survey by research firm YouGov. Lazada, Indonesia’s Tokopedia, and TikTok Shop are the other favored e-commerce sites, according to the survey, with shoppers saying they plan to buy more clothing, cosmetics, household appliances, and food and drinks online rather than offline and to make more

Ah, Spring! The sun is setting a little later every evening, the birds are evidently hosting a world conference outside my window every morning, and the temperatures are finally starting to warm up where I live. The changing seasons are a fantastic time to look through your wardrobe, clean out the pieces you haven’t worn in a year, and identify the gaps you need to fill.

Just this morning, I thought about—wait for it—shorts. At the tail end of last summer, I found myself reaching for pants and jeans more often than my beloved 5-inch inseam shorts. Blame it on changing trends, an aging body, or just being bored with the options out there, but it seems that overnight, I couldn’t fathom wearing the same styles and silhouettes I’d been donning for years. Keep scrolling to shop some of my current favorite pairs.

My goal for this season? To try and find the styles that’ll take me into the summer (and hopefully the next few summers) and keep me looking fresh—a rebrand

From Arket to Agolde: I Just Tried On 2024’s Best-Selling Jeans

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

The best pairs of jeans are the ones you want to live in and wear again and again – and they get better every time you slip them on. However finding the “perfect style” can be hard, given there are so many different silhouettes, cuts and washes available, plus sizing can vary depending on the brand.

The options are endless, and so to help you with your search, I spent a day changing-room hopping to give you insights on the best jeans you can buy right now. Yes, the options seem endless, but after trying on countless pairs of varying shapes, sizes, and cotton compositions, I’ve realised that the pool of exceptional, stand-out styles is much smaller than you’d think. The age old technique of trial and error has turned me to the classics such as Levi’s, Citizens Of Humanity and Agolde, as well as more contemporary iterations from the likes of Arket, Uniqlo and Ganni. Vintage stores are worth visiting too: Unlike off-the-rack styles, vintage denim offers worn-in appeal, as well as unique details like rivets, stitching and patches that give jeans a beautiful lived-in quality.

My top tip is to always take a change of shoes to the
