Image
  The  barong tagalog  is the traditional formal men’s attire in the Philippines. The attire’s delicate-looking features belie the fact that the garment holds up quite well in very strenuous circumstances –which most barong wearers are quite familiar with. What the barong is not, however, is the fact that not knowing how to clean it properly can lead to damaging it. In the Philippines, most dry cleaning services are quite adept at cleaning barongs –which ironically don’t involve the typical dry cleaning processes. But if you’re outside of the Philippines and need to have the barong washed, what should you do? Does it Even Need a Wash? This is the first real question a barong wearer should ask after having worn a barong. Now, in the Philippines, the answer is a very easy yes.

Jusi, piña, silk, and a combination of piña and cotton, are some of the natural fibers used in Filipiniana wear. For synthetic ones, fibers such as chiffon, organza, and shantung are used. These fabrics are utilized to make different kinds of Filipinianawear–alampays, barongs, boleros, camisa de chinos, kimonas, and the like. These fabrics differ in opacity, price, quality, softness, thickness, etc.But, no matter what kind of fabrics craftspeople weave to make the Filipiniana, they hearken to their innately wonderful distinctiveness!

Why Are Barongs Still Popular Today

Image
When we talk about cultural attires, there’s something appealing and different about the classic Filipino suit – the elegant pineapple fiber made Barong Tagalog. Commonly seen being used in formal events in the Philippines, the barong tagalog, or simply known as barong, is a long-sleeved shirt praised as a national dress. From the way it looks to how it’s actually made, the barong’s exquisite taste in both fashion and history is a treat for anybody who’s seen it. However, one notable characteristic about this national dress isn’t about how it looks but how it withstood the test of time. Despite being old-fashioned, it seems like the barong tagalog has made its way into the hearts of many today in the world of fashion.
