Turning Your Traditional Filipiniana to Something More Modern

Image
Turning Your Traditional Filipiniana to Something More Modern The great thing about the Filipiniana is that it is adaptable and flexible, so it can be matched with modern clothing resulting in better movement for the wearer. Moreover, the Filipiniana challenges the set beliefs of traditional society of what a woman should or should not wear. This is seen in the barongs that were originally meant for men, which are now being created and made accessible for women. Nevertheless, the main obstacle still stays: it may be difficult for some to view the Filipiniana differently from the typical formal wear. A hurdle in incorporating the Filipiniana into your everyday look is that it is perceived by a few as being only fit for Philippine cultural activities or more formal events. But what is fashion but trying to be more experimental and adventurous? With classic Filipiniana seamlessly matched with modern clothing, the woman of today can easily integrate the traditional designs into h...

How The Traditional Barong Became A Fashion Icon For Filipiniana Women For centuries, the Barong Tagalog has been the signature traditional outfit of Filipino men. But time has passed, and this national attire has already evolved. It has always been the Barong Tagalog for men and Baro’t Saya for women in the past.

Apr Why Wear a Barong Instead of a Suit Jacket? Clothes make the man. This old adage still holds true today. By carefully selecting the cut, trim, fabric, and colors that we wear, we create a visual message telling the world who we are. And when it comes to formal wear, most men turn to suit jackets in order to say that they mean business. It is a predictable, and safe choice. But we are not most men. And nothing instantly tells the room that you are a cut above the rest by literally wearing it, in the form of a well-chosen barong that is. The   barong   is traditional formal wear; it is lighter and at times, more colorful, than the traditional “power colors” of suits. It is fashionable, unique, and eye-catching. Wearing a distinct style of fashion when everyone else is wearing a variation of the typical suit is not a common choice to make. But here’s several great reasons why you may want to make that choice as well. It is Hot Well, fashionable is pretty hot in its own way bu...
