Putting on different clothing
Contexto cultural
Indonesians often bathe and change clothes twice a day (morning and evening) due to the humid climate. Not changing clothes after a day out is often seen as unhygienic. The 'Paes Ageng' ceremony involves multiple 'ganti baju' sessions where the bride and groom change into different traditional fabrics and colors, each with its own meaning. Modesty (Aurat) is important. People will 'ganti baju' into more covering attire before praying (Sholat) or entering a mosque. The 'OOTD' (Outfit of the Day) culture is huge in Indonesia. Young people might 'ganti baju' specifically for social media photos during a single outing.
Use 'Dulu'
Always add 'dulu' (first/for a bit) when you say you're going to change. 'Ganti baju dulu ya' sounds much more natural and polite.
Avoid 'Saya'
In casual speech, you can often drop 'Saya'. Just saying 'Ganti baju dulu ya' to a friend is perfect.
