Alright,the first one is for the male..Baju melayu is the traditional attire for male. Baju Melayu is divided into two parts, clothing (long sleeve shirt) and trousers pair with  'sampin' and 'songkok'.Baju melayu is divided in to two parts of neck line which is 'Teluk Belanga' and 'Cekak Musang'.It is usually worn as everyday clothing, especially for prayer at mosque,to the office,formal occasions, and as custom clothing.

The first type of Baju Melayu is Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga.
