When you incorporate cultural elements in your event, it gives off respect for your partner’s culture and family. Just like in a multicultural wedding, when a groom wears a barong, there is a sense of respect and appreciation for the culture. Thus, non-Filipino guests and relatives will learn about the traditional suit that men wear during this special event. Also, it displays the diversity among different cultures, promoting great understanding and appreciation of Filipino cultural dress.

The fashion history of the Philippines is a rich tapestry of cultural influences from various civilizations that have settled in the country. Traditional Filipino clothing was characterized by bright colors and intricate embroidery, with garments made of native materials such as abaca, piña, and jusi.

During the Spanish colonial period, European influences started to shape the fashion landscape. The Filipiniana dress, a traditional formal dress with butterfly sleeves, became popular among the upper class, while the barong tagalog, a formal shirt made of piña or jusi fabric, became a staple for men.

In the early 20th century, American influences introduced Western-style clothing and sportswear to the country. The Japanese occupation during World War II also left its mark on Filipino fashion, with the kimono-inspired terno becoming a popular style.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the hippie movement influenced Filipino fashion, with the introduction of bell-bottom pants and tie-dye shirts. The disco era in the 1980s brought about sequins and shoulder pads, while the 1990s saw a return to minimalism and grunge fashion.

Today, Philippine fashion is a blend of traditional and modern styles, with designers incorporating indigenous textiles and designs into contemporary fashion. Filipino fashion designers are gaining recognition globally, with their works being showcased in fashion shows and events around the world.

Dark Gray Barong Tagalog 3137-43510 Special Size

In general, us guys are very simple creatures. Especially when it comes to clothes, any standard wear goes into the washer. As for anything fancy, well, we’re off to the dry cleaners then. But while there are plenty of great commercial and professional services out there who can take care of our Barong Tagalogs (and with most having that translucent look, we are hard pressed to see them as nothing else but delicate fabrics), it also pays off to know a little bit more about what it takes to properly maintain a barong. After all, proper cleaning is only one aspect of having good maintenance.

[barongtagalogs-blog]

For most men, the go-to of formal wear usually meant taking the safe choice of the suit jacket and tie combo that everyone is very familiar with. The colors are just as predictable: gray, blue, or the ever-so-expected black. Black stands out since it goes well for all occasions: from business meetings, to weddings, opera nights, funerals, inaugurations, and more. But what if you wanted to try something different? Enter the Filipino favorite: striking, exotic, and cultured, this is the Barong Tagalog. And before you ask anything else, yes, it comes in black.

[barongsrus1]

Choosing the suitable fabric is the second step in making a Barong Tagalog. Again, we are very mindful of how the material would fit kids as they are compassionate about their clothes. Our barongs mainly consist of Jusi, Cocoon, Jusilin, Piña, and Organza. These fabrics are the best types as they are comfortable and not itchy for kids.

When it comes to modern day dressing, we’ve all come to love the Western fashion’s type of things to wear such as crop tops, jeans and blazers. But as Filipinos, we also have our own ways to highlight our local heritage and integrate it into today’s modern fashion. We all know that a Filipiniana is a decades old fashion inherited by the Philippines from the Spaniards, but today’s generation has come up with ways to freshen up the history a bit – all for the name of fashion.

Here are some sartorial inspiration for you to see (and try) when wearing the modern Filipiniana outfit:

When it comes to attending weddings, gone are the days where you have to wear a dress just to fit into the occasion. Nowadays, you can wear your preferred outfit and still be on “theme”. For @kathleenross__, she definitely wore something she was comfortable wearing as a guest during a wedding. Here she’s seen wearing a pink Filipiniana-inspired top matched with some peach-colored trousers.

If you’re looking to up the ante of your outerwear game, then find inspiration from @justineabigail who wore her white Filipiniana dress as an outerwear piece. It’s definitely a fashion hack if you live abroad – wearing a dress as a blazer. Steal her style with one of our barong dress, too!

It’s no secret that the barong Tagalog is an exceptional piece of Filipino traditional clothing. It can be worn on formal occasions, such as weddings, baptism and special events. Whether you’re looking to stand out amidst the crowd or just want to look polished with your attire, we all know that a good barong Tagalog will surely make a mark.

But what happens if you don’t wear the barong Tagalog properly? What if you didn’t pair it with the right trousers… or unfortunately sent it to the dry cleaning? Well, in order to prevent any unwanted circumstances in the future, we will share with you the top common mistakes to avoid when wearing a barong Tagalog. Take out your pen and paper and start writing down some notes, gentlemen!

MISTAKE #1: NOT OPTING FOR CUSTOM-FIT

The most common mistake when wearing a barong Tagalog is not having your clothes tailor-made or customised to your body shape. This mistake is really common among men who don’t know how to fit a barong Tagalog properly. Sometimes, custom tailor-made barong Tagalog are not available so we end up purchasing the ones at department stores or other retail outlets that are readily accessible and available. In this case, it’s important that you first know if what you bought has a good fit and style. If the sleeves are too long or short, it won’t look nice on you. Also, if the waistline is too low or high it will also look funny on you. Be sure to have your barongs custom-fitted to your size so that at the end of the day, you’ll be able to enjoy the event you attended.

MISTAKE #2: NOT BUYING THE REAL DEAL

The barong Tagalog is a “must-have” for Filipino men due to its versatility when worn to events. However, if you want to wear it on many formal and informal occasions, you must learn to buy the real deal. The most common mistake that most men do is not getting a real barong Tagalog due to a tight budget or just lack of knowledge in getting the real one. What you have can be a fake one with cheap materials (like rayon), and it won’t be good for long-term use. Here at BarongsRUs, you can make sure that what we sell online are made of premium and high-quality materials that are definitely worth keeping in your closet for years to come. Save it for your #wedding day!

MISTAKE #3: WRONG UNDERSHIRT & SHOES

Aside from the common mistakes we discussed above, there are other things to consider when wearing a barong Tagalog. For one, not having the proper fit is a surefire way to ruin your garments. You should also be aware that guys need to wear matching socks that go with their dress pants. To keep things safe, we highly suggest wearing black pants, black socks and black shoes. Also, whether or not you should wear an undershirt underneath your barong Tagalog again comes down to personal preference. Be sure to wear a comfortable shirt underneath the barong Tagalog so that you don’t get burned from the sun while you’re out and about in events. Also choose your shirt with care, as it should be made of lightweight cotton and should not have a collar or cuff.

HOW TO AVOID THESE MISTAKES

While we’ve already discussed this in another blog post, it’s good to rehash some information that might help you to avoid these common barong Tagalog mistakes.

Select the perfect fit for you. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: the proper fit is everything. You can’t just wear whatever barong is at your disposal as long as you can fit in it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to move much, or the excess fabric will keep getting in the way.

Choose an undershirt that matches your barong. Nothing fashion faux pas than by wearing a red shirt underneath a white translucent barong. Barongs are made with breathable and translucent fabrics such as abaca, cocoon, jusi, and piña which means that what you wear under your barong is visible, and that’s why it should be put into consideration when you’re dressing up.

Feel comfortable with your barong. We all know that a barong is just a piece of clothing you wear to an event, but if you’re not comfortable with it, the whole event goes down with you. So you have to keep in mind that you need to be able to breathe, relax, enjoy and have fun in your barong Tagalog.

There are many factors to consider when wearing a barong Tagalog… but at the end of the day, you just have to feel comfortable and enjoy the moment while you’re wearing it. If you’re looking to custom-fit your barong Tagalog, BarongsRUs is here to help!
