NGO Panday Bayanihan Chairman Brian Poe Llamanzares wears a heather black cocoon Barong embroidered with white intricate detailsHow this National Dress evolved and became a unifying symbol of style and culture
Over time, the Barong Tagalog continued to evolve. The “Barong Mahaba” , reaching the knees, eventually transformed into the shorter and more modern version we know today. It’s not surprising as the Barong’s lightweight fabric, sleek shape, and comfortable cut make it perfect for tropical climates like the Philippines. Besides that, embroidery, appliques, and other embellishments highlight its fashion possibilities, even for women, who have made it part of their Filipiniana and formal wear wardrobes.
The finest Barong Tagalog are made from a variety of indigenous sheer fabrics – piña from pineapple fiber, piña seda interweaving pina with silk, and jusi handwoven from abaca fibers. Pinukpok from the Bicol Region is made from loosely woven abaca fibers; jusilyn is mechanically woven from silk or cotton or polyester; while organza is made from silk or polyester.
Volleyball sensation Fifi Sharma shows her stylish side with this women’s mandarin collar Barong with classic floral embroidery, which she dresses down with denim. Fashion model and photography influencer Mikyle Quizon plays it cool in a short-sleeved pinasilk polo Barong with pintucks, a versatile option that can be taken from the office to dinner and beyond.
