The Peranakan retained most of their ethnic and religious origins (such as ancestor worship), but assimilated the language and culture of the Malays.
The Nyonya's clothing, Baju Panjang (Long Dress) was adapted from the native Malay's Baju Kurung. It is worn with a [[batik]] [[sarong]] (batik wrap-around skirt) and three kerosang (brooches). [[Peranakan beaded slippers]] called ''Kasot Manek'' were hand-made with much skill and patience: strung, beaded and sewn onto canvas with tiny faceted glass cut beads (known as ''[[Peranakan cut beads|Manek Potong]]'') similar to ones from [[Bohemia]] (present-day [[Czech Republic]]).

Traditional ''kasot manek'' design often have European floral subjects, with colours influenced by Peranakan porcelain and batik sarongs. They were made into flats or bedroom slippers. But from the 1930s, modern shapes became popular and heels were gradually added.

In Indonesia, the Peranakans develop their own [[kebaya]], most notably ''kebaya encim'', derived from the name ''encim'' or ''enci'' to refer to a married Chinese woman.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Agnes Swetta Pandia |last2=Nina Susilo |date=13 January 2013 |title=Tantangan Bisnis Kebaya Encim |url=http://female.kompas.com/read/2013/01/13/10574438/Tantangan.Bisnis.Kebaya.Encim |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116064114/http://female.kompas.com/read/2013/01/13/10574438/Tantangan.Bisnis.Kebaya.Encim |archive-date=16 January 2013 |access-date=19 January 2013 |website=Female Kompas.com |language=id}}</ref> ''Kebaya encim'' was commonly worn by Chinese ladies in Javan coastal cities with significant Chinese settlements, such as [[Semarang]], Lasem, Tuban, [[Surabaya]], [[Pekalongan]] and [[Cirebon]]. It marked differently from Javanese kebaya with its smaller and finer embroidery, lighter fabrics and more vibrant colours. They also developed their own batik patterns, which incorporate symbols from China. The ''kebaya encim'' fit well with vibrant-coloured kain [[Batik#Pesisir Batik (Coastal Batik)|batik pesisiran]] (Javan coastal batik), which incorporated symbols and motives from China; such as dragon, phoenix, peony and lotus. For the Baba they will wear baju lokchuan (which is the Chinese men's full costume) but the younger generation they will wear just the top of it which is the long-sleeved silk jacket with Chinese collar or the batik shirt.
