This revamped approach has given a new spotlight to shine across these local dresses, but why so? Look into how the Filipiniana dresses and gowns fell from obscurity and made a comeback in the trending modern world.

Traditional Filipiniana Attire

In the old times, Filipiniana traditional dresses were worn as a status of grace. These dresses are designed with intricate patterns and choices of vibrant colors. These gowns are an equivalent to the more modern dresses and gowns people associate with. These gowns help women have a stand-out feel and display their social status during formal occasions.

The Temporary Fall

While traditional gowns were quite popular in its time, in the following years, they have experienced a big decline. Western clothing and fashion trends from outside countries are becoming more prevalent. The recent popularity and influence has made a huge shift for traditional garments.

Many Filipinos opt for contemporary styles in their daily lives, which results in the decline of traditional attire.

The Rise of Filipiniana in the Modern World

Despite its decline long before, recently, there has been a notable resurgence of interest in bringing traditional Filipino fashion back into the spotlight. Many organizations and individual parties within the Philippines have this desire in reconnecting the Filipino people to their roots. They have made tireless efforts to promote and modernize traditional clothing.

This approach has resulted in today’s barong tagalog and Filipiniana gowns adopting a streamline and modernized designs while still keeping many notable features that helps it retain its identity.

Elements of Modern Filipiniana Fashion

As mentioned, many organizations and designers have been implementing different approaches to bringing traditional clothes into the modern age.

Modern Filipiniana fashion incorporates new fabrics and materials, blending them with the traditional design approach. The implementation of modern components makes these attires more comfortable and versatile.

Additionally, Filipiniana dresses, gowns, and sets designed in the modern age often feature new colors and designs. It makes the dresses stand out from their traditional counterpart by having mixed colors and intricate embroidery.

Many fashion and clothing designers experiment with patterns in infusing a fresh approach towards traditional dresses. Furthermore, modern designers would apply innovative creativity in streamlining and enhancing the dresses’ overall style. They adapt modern preferences into traditional styles, offering custom options that fit both worlds.

The Global Appeal of Filipiniana Fashion

Adopting traditional Filipiniana dresses, gowns, and sets has impacted culture. The trend of bringing traditional concepts and putting a modern twist on them has given Filipiniana fashion a big comeback.

This can be said for many countries in Asia, but for us Filipinos, it is a true statement. The Filipino culture features great diversity in both linguistic, culinary and cultural aspects that gives each part of this country its own identity. For example, the Philippines has been home to some of the most celebrated names in art history such as Fernando Amorsolo (whose works are on display at the National Museum), Guillermo Tolentino (the famous poet) and even Agamemnon Pantaleon (the first South Asian national who opened an account while working in our country). All these may not have ventured into fashion but they all contribute to our highly recognized cultural identity which is the famous Filipiniana worn gloriously by Mrs. Imelda Marcos back in the day.

Inspired by the rich heritage of the country, the Filipiniana gown has finally seen the light of day ever since the good old 1980s. This year, it seems that the local (and international) fashion scene is taking some fashion inspo from our country’s national costume. Below, you’ll see Janine Guiterrez, Vanessa Hudgens and even newly elected Vice President of the Philippines, Sara Duterte, all decked in traditional Filipiniana.

Last February 27, actress and fashion icon, Janine Guiterrez, was spotted wearing a custom full lace Filipiniana dress designed by Filipino fashion designer, Vania Romoff. The actress attended the Film Development Council of the Philippines’ (FDCP) sixth Film Ambassadors’ Night, and she was breathtakingly in a “dream Filipiniana” as the actress puts it. Originally designed with long sleeves, it was converted into having butterfly sleeves (or terno sleeves) to fit the modern flair of Janine.

Hollywood actress, Vanessa Hudgens, turned heads at this year’s Met Gala when she showed up wearing a sultry but stunning Jeremy Scott black dress. The half American half Filipina actress took to Instagram to say that her dress “pays homage to [her] Filipino heritage”. The puff sleeves of her dress are truly reminiscent of a Filipiniana dress, albeit more modern and sexy. The Filipina-American actress certainly enjoyed her Met Gala night, saying it’s “truly a magical one”.

Most recently, our newly elected Vice President of the Philippines was also spotted donning a beautiful emerald green Filipiniana dress for her inauguration day.

Designed by none other than Davao-based designer, Silverio Anglacer, the newly elected VP is truly a force (and fashion icon) to reckon with. Wearing a free flowing dress with embroidery accents, the Vice President of the Philippines is definitely a Filipina worthy of wearing the country’s national costume.

Filipiniana custom dresses or traditional costumes have always been a part of our history and culture. The rise of the Filipiniana in 2022 is a testament to this tradition and how it is recognized as one of its own. It’s a fact that a new generation of young designers will be using local designs to create globally-inspired works inspired by their very own cultural heritage. Here at BarongsRUs, we also pride ourselves in providing custom fit Filipinianas that showcase the beauty of our own culture.

From what was most commonly known by many, barongs are just for formal and special events. But if you have stayed in the Philippines for quite a while, you will notice that barongs are not just for formal and special events. They can also be used daily.

Office workers, government officials, teachers, and other employees wear barong as their daily uniform. We can also see some schools using barong as their regular school uniform. Seminary students, Bible School students, priests, ministers, and other religious leaders love to wear barongs for their daily activities.

Since barongs are frequently used by many, you don’t have to wear expensive ones if you plan to use them daily. It would be practical to wear these cheap and yet elegant looking barongs at Barongsrus. Look at how perfect they are for daily use. Let’s check them out.

The Philippines is known for its beautiful and attractive tourist spots. But did you know that the Philippines’ pride also comes from its lively and graceful traditional dances, especially Maria Clara suite? Yes, you heard it right! Not just that, folk dancers are also well-known for wearing Barong Tagalog in graceful Maria Clara suite.

Have you ever heard of the Philippines’ traditional folk dances? Or have you watched any live performances from Filipino folk dancers?

Are you curious about why Filipino folk dancers are prominent in wearing barong Tagalog? Here’s why!

Why Barong?

You should be asking right now, why barong? Can they just wear formal polo and then dance? No. Not at all!

Maria Clara suite showcases Spanish influence in music, dress, and dance. Part of the influence of Spaniards is wearing barong in a Maria Clara dance. Almost all dances require wearing it.

Dancing in barong Tagalog represents a lot of attributes Filipino have and it also serves as a respect to the culture and traditions of the Philippines. In some dances, wearing it portrays a formal or flirtatious way of courtship to a Filipina. Just like this one:

Paseo de Iloilo

Actually, this is the most sophisticated dance of Maria Clara Suite. This dance literally shows how Filipinos back then court a Filipina with its formal attire – barong Tagalog.

Aside from wearing barong as a representation and identity of Filipino people, this one might be the best way to describe why Filipinos and some of you should choose barong in school dances and many occasions.

Barong Tagalog is worn over an undershirt. That is why it is considered a greater portion of outerwear than a shirt. This garment is often ornate and appearance is very festive, especially whether it is adorned with lace and embroidery.

Partially, this explains why Barong Tagalog is worn untucked, flowing freely over the pants. The men should not hide beautiful ornamentation underneath the trousers or belts. And also, wearing the barong suits the humid and hot climate in the Philippines better.

Wearing barong also represents Filipinos creative way of making a successful and beautiful product.

Barongs worn by folk dancers are mostly handmade; it is carefully hand-woven to produce better qualities and best smiles while dancing. Who wouldn’t be proud wearing a hand-woven barong while dancing, right?

Now, would you prefer dancing in polo rather than representing Filipino arts, culture, and traditions just in one clothing? Of course, you’d choose the later part! Why? Because that’s the pride that barong brings to every person who wears it.

Barong Tagalog is more than just traditional Filipino clothing. Wearing it and the barong itself is part of the identities of many Filipinos today. Some of the memories in this tradition – wearing barong – may fade, but folk dancers wearing it in traditional dances saved and preserved its representation and value of the Philippines culture, arts, and tradition.

Barongs of today were not just used for folk dances or representing the country, it can also be worn in modern activities, such as State of the Nation Address, ASEAN, and other public and private gatherings that require “Filipino-themed” attire.
