The Barong Tagalog is a traditional Filipino garment worn by men, typically for formal occasions such as weddings, fiestas, and other cultural events. It is also commonly worn as national attire or formal dress in the Philippines.

Jusi is a type of fabric that is commonly used in making Barong Tagalog. It is a fine, sheer fabric made from silk, often with a crisp texture and a subtle shine. The use of jusi in Barong Tagalog adds to its elegance and sophistication, making it a popular choice for special occasions.

The Barong Tagalog is characterized by its embroidered design, typically done in white or cream-colored thread on the front, back, and sleeves of the shirt. The embroidery can vary in style, ranging from intricate patterns to simple designs. The collar and cuffs of the Barong Tagalog are often lined with the same fabric used for the embroidery.

Overall, the Barong Tagalog made with jusi fabric is a beautiful and important part of Philippine culture and tradition, representing the country's rich history and unique heritage.

When it comes to choosing when to wear your barong Tagalogs, we’re pretty sure men out there are a little bit confused if it’s the perfect piece to wear to such an occasion. Should you wear a barong to a baptism? To a birthday? To attend a political friend’s evening party? To your ex’s wedding, perhaps?

Despite common knowledge, we all know that a barong Tagalog won’t fit every event you’re going to. Which is why in this post, we’re going to share with you some different outfit options that will match your specific event such as weddings, evening dinners, birthday parties or baptism. Check out the barong Tagalogs for different occasions:

BARONG #1: A Black Organza Barong

The black organza barong is one of the most popular choices when it comes to the Tagalog traditional clothes. It creates a clean and elegant look that will require no further style adjustments. It is suitable for any type of occasion, even if it is not celebration-related. A monochromatic black organza with embroidery will look perfect on you if you want a modern twist on this traditional Tagalog garment. Additionally, the pattern of this barong makes you stand out in any gathering. It is both practical and comfortable for the wearer. Also, it is ideal for different occasions, whether formal or casual. A black organza makes it look more modern than its counterparts.

BARONG #2: Classic White Barong Tagalog

If you want to go for the “traditional” look, then go for a white barong tagalog. The white barong fits in well with most formal events, whether you’re wearing it in the office, a party or during a wedding. The color white makes it easy to pair with classic pieces such as with black pants or slacks, and black shoes for a clean look. Wearing a classic white barongTagalog will provide a distinguished and respectable look in any occasion.

BARONG #3: Colored Barong Tagalog

One interesting thing about wearing a barong Tagalog is that you can opt for a colored piece if it’s your preference, or if the theme allows for it. You can choose to wear a colorful Jusilyn barong since this type of fabric is made from silk and synthetic materials, making the barong durable and elegant. There will be certain times when you don’t want to stick with a white or black barong just because you’re happy with a colorful piece so a colored Jusilyn barong would be the most fitting solution for that.

ADDITIONAL STYLES

Barongs used to be reserved only for formal occasions, but now they can be seen almost in every occasion! Globally recognized as a symbol of Filipino culture, this formal attire is most commonly worn by men (and women) during traditional fiestas and other special occasions. Traditionally woven from pandan leaves and leaves of banana tree, barongs were originally crafted with beads in the design of roosters (a popular motif among past generations). Today, it is common to see intricate designs on modern barong Tagalog pieces like what we have here at BarongsRUs.

While we’ve already discussed this in another blog post, it’s good to rehash some information that might help you in keeping your barongs in tip top shape:

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!

Wearing a Barong Tagalog for the first time is a special experience that connects you with Filipino culture and tradition. Whether you’re attending a wedding, a formal event, or a cultural celebration, here’s a guide to help you look and feel your best in this iconic attire.

Understanding the Barong Tagalog

The Barong Tagalog, often referred to simply as “Barong,” is the national attire of the Philippines. Traditionally made from piña (pineapple) or jusi (banana) fibers, the Barong is known for its light, airy fabric and intricate embroidery. It’s a versatile garment that combines elegance with comfort, making it perfect for various occasions.

Choosing Your Barong    

                                                  

Fabric

Piña: This fabric is made from pineapple fibers and is considered the most traditional and luxurious option. It’s lightweight, breathable, and perfect for formal occasions.

Jusi: Made from banana fibers, jusi is also lightweight and slightly more affordable than piña. It offers a similar level of elegance and is suitable for many formal events.

Jusilyn: A blend of jusi and synthetic fibers, Jusilyn is more durable and less prone to wrinkling, making it a practical choice for those who prefer easier maintenance.

Organza: A sheer, lightweight fabric often used for its crisp and translucent qualities. Organza adds an ethereal touch to barongs, making it ideal for those who want a delicate yet structured look.

Style

Traditional Barong: Features intricate embroidery and a sheer fabric, usually worn over an undershirt. It’s ideal for weddings, formal gatherings, and official events. Available in traditional loose fit or slim fit for a tailored look.

Modern Barong: Often has a more contemporary design, sometimes with less elaborate embroidery or different collar styles, such as the Chinese/Mandarin collar. It’s versatile and can be worn to a variety of events, with options for both traditional loose fit and slim fit to suit your style.

Color

White: Traditionally not available, but due to high demand—especially for weddings where the bride wants to match her dress with the groom’s attire—we’ve created a white Barong Tagalog using organza or jusilyn fabrics.

Beige: Classic and elegant, beige Barong Tagalogs are suitable for any formal event, offering a timeless look.

Ivory: A traditional Filipino wear choice, ivory Barongs are versatile for both formal and informal occasions.

Colored Barongs: Adding a splash of color can make your Barong stand out. Blue, gray, and other muted tones are great for themed events or to add a modern twist.

How to Wear a Barong

Undershirt

Always wear a light, plain undershirt underneath your Barong. The Barong is sheer, and the undershirt provides a clean, crisp look while maintaining modesty.

Pants

Pair your Barong with well-tailored dress trousers. Black, navy, brown, or gray trousers complement the Barong’s intricate designs without overpowering them. For a more traditional look, beige or cream trousers are perfect.

Shoes

Opt for classic leather dress shoes. Black or brown shoes are versatile and match well with most Barongs. Make sure your shoes are polished and in good condition to complete your formal look.

Accessories

Keep accessories minimal. A classic wristwatch and simple cufflinks (if your Barong has cuffs) are sufficient. Avoid overly flashy jewelry, as the Barong itself is already a statement piece.

Styling Tips

Fit is Key: Ensure your Barong fits well. It should be comfortable and allow for movement without being too loose or too tight.

Button Up: Always button up your Barong fully to maintain a polished and formal appearance.

Untucked: Barong Tagalog should always be worn untucked to showcase its intricate embroidery. Tucking in a Barong is considered inappropriate and takes away from its traditional elegance, even for modern styles with a shorter cut.

Confidence: Wear your Barong with pride. Stand tall and exude confidence, knowing you’re donning a garment rich in history and cultural significance.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning:  Barongs are delicate and should be hand-washed only to preserve the fabric and embroidery.

Storage: Hang your Barong in a garment bag to prevent wrinkles and protect it from dust and damage.

Ironing: If needed, iron your Barong on a low setting with a cloth placed over it to avoid direct heat.

Embracing the Tradition

Wearing a Barong Tagalog for the first time is a unique and enriching experience. It’s more than just clothing; it’s a piece of Filipino heritage that you carry with you. Whether you’re Filipino or simply appreciate the culture, the Barong allows you to participate in a tradition that spans generations.

So, step out in your Barong Tagalog with pride and elegance, and enjoy the admiration and respect it garners. Welcome to a world where tradition meets style, and where you’re part of a beautiful cultural legacy.

Embracing Modern Minimalism

The Philippines will celebrate its 126th Independence Day on June 12, 2024. This occasion marks the country’s freedom from over three hundred years of Spanish oppression and rule. To celebrate this special occasion, many people do a set of activities, including wearing the Barong Tagalog during this time. To learn more about this, continue reading the article!

Historical Background of Philippine Independence Day

The country’s day of freedom celebrates its liberation from Spain. Filipinos have tried to gain their sovereignty from colonizers for over three centuries, and they finally succeeded in 1898. However, it has been officially a holiday since 1978, during which time it has officially become our independence day.

The Barong Tagalog: A Sign of Filipino Identity

The roots of this traditional Filipino clothing date back to the pre-colonial period. It was called “baro,” which meant clothing or garment. However, other sources say that “baro” means “upper garment” as well. Every island or province had its own twist, with Luzon having different colors for every social class and the Visayas having richly colored pieces.

Like other pieces of clothing, the barong’s style continued to evolve. During Spain’s rule in the Philippines, intricate embroidery was added to the clothing. However, its fabric options were maintained, which are still evident today. These choices include piña and jusi, intricately woven by skilled Filipinos.

Choosing the Perfect Piece for Independence Day

At present, these stylish barongs already have numerous design and style options. Different institutions in the Philippines celebrate this event and commemorate it by wearing national clothing. In addition, wearers can opt for traditional or modern designs that complement their overall ensemble. Other factors include selecting the right fabric. Common contemporary options include jusilyn, organza, piña–jusi, and more.

Moreover, there are a few tips wearers can keep in mind to help them find the perfect barong to celebrate the occasion. These tips include choosing a piece that makes you feel confident and comfortable and has the right fit. A barong should lay comfortably on the wearer’s chest, arms, and back, not restricting the wearer’s movements.

Styling Tips for Men and Women

With multiple progressions in society, barongs are now also for women to wear. Additionally, there are different ways to style these pieces. These styling approaches also apply to those who want to wear traditional Filipino clothing in their everyday lives. However, focusing on the occasion, adding a Philippine Flag pin is one way to go. During Independence Day, it is safe to style this garment in the traditional manner.

Embracing National Pride Through Fashion

Cultural attire plays an important role in fostering patriotism. The Barong Tagalog serves as a connection between modern Filipinos and their ancestors. There is much to celebrate during Independence Day, and the country’s ancestors have fought very hard for the Philippines’ sovereignty and rights.

Due to its cultural impact, this attire is still very prominent today. Aside from national celebrations, many Filipinos wear this during religious events like weddings, christenings, communions, confirmations, and more. Various designs are also evident in workplaces such as banks and educational institutions. Furthermore, the youth is encouraged to embrace their traditional clothing and be proud of it due to its meaning to Philippine culture.

Where to Get Quality Barongs for Independence Day

Different online boutiques offer different Barong Tagalog styles for people to wear. With the significant number of providers, consumers might find it overwhelming to find a seller. However, it is important to add Barongs R Us to your list of shops to check out. We have an extensive selection of pieces that would surely tickle your fancy. See our barong collection here today, and we wish the Philippines one hundred twenty-six years of independence!
