Barong Tagalog For Sale - Traditional and Modern Filipino Attire for Men and Women

What is the Barong Tagalog?

The Barong Tagalog has a storied history. The garment dates back to pre-colonial times in the Philippines. Sheer, breathable fabrics such as Piña an Abaca were developed. When the Spaniards went to the islands, they brought European traditions of embroidery and lace to local garments. Additionally, East and South Asian traders influenced the overall look of the Barong Tagalog such as the use of the Mandarin collar and the Camisa de Chino. It is truly an iconic staple of Filipino culture, which is also a melting pot of many influences from around the world.

Today, we see a resurgence of the Barong Tagalog, but in more modern cuts and styles. It now comes in many colors, fabrics, and various other forms. Barong Warehouse carries barongs for men, women or female, boys, girls, children, babies, and more. For the ladies, we have barong shirts, barong dresses, or kimonas. Kimonas are similar to barongs except they don’t have buttons, but they still have the traditional barong embroidery and/or hand painting details. We even have matching barongs for couples. And, if we don’t have a particular style that you’re looking for your barong tagalog attire, we can probably make it for you.

Some people think barongs are only worn by Filipinos. This is absolutely not true. Though barongs are made in the Philippines, Barong Warehouse wants to spread this beautiful garment to everyone around the world. That is why our models are not only Filipinos, but they come from different countries and ethnicities. We want everyone to appreciate the barong tagalog for not only its richness in culture and history, but also wear it for the simple fact that anyone will look great with it on.

When to Wear the Barong Tagalog

The Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana are traditional Filipino clothing that have truly endured the test of time. They date back to the pre-colonial era, but they remain a significant part of Filipino history and culture today. Although the barong and Filipiniana were the Filipino’s everyday wear in the pre-colonial and Spanish colonization period, they are no longer as commonly used in modern times. Despite that, you can still have opportunities to wear the traditional Filipino clothing and be proud of your heritage.

So, when is it a great time to wear traditional Filipino clothing? And, what style would be suitable for certain affairs? Here are the best times to wear a Barong Tagalog or Filipiniana ensemble.

When you’re attending a wedding

When you’re going to attend a Filipino wedding -- whether it’s a friend or family member’s wedding, or even your own -- the dress code is one of the top concerns. What should you wear? Is there a theme or a color palette to follow? As with any significant occasion, it ultimately depends on the couple it celebrates. When in doubt, wearing a barong or Filipiniana is always the best option.

There’s a spectrum of styles and colors to choose from if you want to show a bit of creativity. But if you want to stick to the classics, go for a Beige Barong Tagalog paired with neutral or dark colored trousers. Although barongs are usually preferred by men, that has significantly changed in today’s generation! There are also Filipiniana dresses for women who would like to attend a wedding wearing the traditional Filipino clothing.

Maria Clara dresses -- also sometimes referred to as Filipiniana dress or traje de mestiza -- have become popular among brides who want to celebrate their Filipino heritage on their big day. There are also Filipiniana wedding gowns today that have been given more modern and adventurous twists for brides who want to bridge tradition with current trends. Don’t forget the wedding accessories to complete the look!

When you’re invited to a religious event

Besides weddings, wearing a barong or Filipiniana would also be an excellent choice when attending other religious events such as a Christening. You would want to dress appropriately for the occasion, but not as formal as what you’d wear to a wedding. You can get creative with your style and wear a colored Barong Tagalog for men or a vibrant Filipiniana for women.

When you have a formal event

Formal events such as inaugurations and award dinners would, of course, have a formal dress code. Whether you’re a guest or the host -- or maybe even the guest-of-honor -- the best choice would be the classic, white or cream Barong Tagalog for men, or the barong dress or Filipiniana terno for women. If no official dress code was given, you can jazz up your outfit by sporting a black or colored barong instead.

When you’re going to a business conference

When you’re going to a formal business event or conference, you would want to blend in at such affairs. Thus, bright colored barongs and Filipiniana are not recommended. Choose a high-quality, right fitting, white or cream Barong Tagalog with the traditional white camisa de chino as an under shirt. The Filipiniana terno or barong dress would also be suitable for such events. If the business event will be attended by international guests and delegates, that also makes it a great opportunity to show off your traditional Filipino clothing and heritage! 

When you’re going to work

Thanks to innovation and the creativity of the Filipinos, wearing traditional Filipino clothing is not reserved for just religious occasions or formal events. The office barongs for men have become the unofficial uniform of corporate employees. They’re made of jusi, jusilyn, linen, or gusot mayaman, which give a comfortable twist to the traditional Filipino clothing. Office barongs are often short-sleeved so they’re comfortable to wear even during hot and humid days.

When you just want to be stylish

Any day is always a great day to proudly wear something that reflects your Filipino heritage. Even if there’s no significant occasion, some people like to wear a camisa de chino or a modern, short-sleeved barongs to places such as the beach or to a casual family gathering. The Filipino saya, bolero, and Filipiniana terno have also gone through innovation to give the traditional Filipino clothing a modern twist. Today, they can be worn as a statement piece for casual outfits.

If you want to deviate from the traditional Filipino clothing, there are other ways to show your Filipino pride! Shirts and other apparel such as caps and hoodies with Filipino-inspired designs are making waves for being stylish outfits that you can wear on casual affairs, yet still be proud of the Philippine culture.

Barong Tagalog and Filipiniana today are available in various styles and colors to suit different occasions. These traditional Filipino clothing have become staples in every Filipino's wardrobe. They’re versatile and comfortable formal wear that make great outfits for several significant events. Not to mention the artistry that goes with every piece, to make them stunning, wearable works of art.

The Barong Tagalog perfectly balances elegance and simplicity with the intricacy of embroidery and weaving -- which makes the garment even more marvelous. Some would even have their family name embroidered on the Barong Tagalog, making it even more valuable. They make perfect heirloom garments when properly maintained and can be passed down to generations upon generations.

There have also been revivals of the traditional Filipino clothing to make them suitable for casual wear as well. It’s the unassuming demeanor and subtle elegance the barong exudes that make it timeless yet leave enough room for innovation. The barong may have gone through centuries of evolution and modifications, but no doubt that its historical importance remains up to this day.

What are Different Types of Barong Tagalog?

What makes Barong Tagalog a statement of pride and identity? We are not only wearing a piece of clothing made from pineapple. We are wearing a story of independence that our national heroes fought for. Even with the gush of cheap barongs online, the quality of this traditional Filipino clothing is still world-class.

Jusilyn Barong Tagalog for Men

While you may choose to wear a custom-made suit to formal occasions, you risk the chance of standing out from the crowd. But, if you're looking for something basic yet exquisite, you have come to the right place. Though familiar with Filipino culture, outsiders are nonetheless awed by the beauty of our traditional clothes.

With its two-toned U embroidery, the Jusilyn Barong Tagalog steals the show. Not only can you strengthen your relationship by grabbing a new connection who happens to notice your look, but you can also share with outsiders about the item's rich history. This item is custom-made for you. That means it will completely embrace your boy while simultaneously conveying that hunk aura.

Organza Barong Tagalog

One reason for dressing appropriately for each gathering is to avoid feeling out of place. Consider wearing a monochromatic Organza Barong Tagalog if you're attending the year-end school event with your child. A Chinese (Mandarin) collar was integrated into the barong design to portray the Chinese's significant contribution to Filipino culture.

Organza barongs are extremely versatile in color in style. Whether you're going for the more traditional translucent styles or the more modern barongs with lining, Barong Warehouse has them all. From hand-painted designs to embroidered double collar, you can find any kind of barong in our collections.

Jusi Pina Barong Tagalog

Only the wealthy could hire couturiers and tailors during the early Spanish colonial period to construct barong Tagalog. Commoners usually wore camison or camiseta for everyday wear. Indeed, our perception of how barong Tagalog is designed has shifted. Because barongs are regarded as pillars of traditional Filipino men's clothing, so the use of jusi and piña will never go out of style. Some fibers are naturally colored, but most fabrics are embroidered. This arduous and time-consuming production process makes the pina rare and valuable. Despite the lengthy procedure, you can still find affordable prices online.

Kids Can Wear Barong, Too!

For Catholics, baptism is one of the most significant events in a man's life. Baptisms are commonly celebrated in the Catholic Church on Sundays, either at the parish Mass or in the afternoon following the conclusion of all other Masses. The baptized person is asked to wear white to symbolize Jesus' white robes when he was laid in the tomb on Good Friday.

The barong has replaced the tux as the new formal attire of choice for our little ones. Quality barongs for kids may now be enjoyed by children as young as one year old, allowing them to get a taste of their heritage. The current buzz of the town is the boy's baptism barong, which highlights the color of purity. Its fabric is made of Jusilyn and Satin, which is ideal for baby skin.  It also comes with a barong, bow tie and short pants.

For little girls, we have Filipiniana outfits with lining designed for special occasions such as birthdays and christenings. Organza and satin make up the fabric, and they usually come with accessories such as a tapis or ornate designs. These goods are made ready to ensure that we provide your angels with the appropriate size for the most refined look.

Casual Barongs

Barongs can be worn in informal settings too. From officewear to beachwear, we also have you covered! Discover our Office barongs with simple U-embroideries stitched onto Linen or "Hugo Boss" fabrics. If you're heading for a tropical vacation, we have our very own Hawaiian Barongs that look great on any beach or party worldwide. And if you need more warmth from your barong, we even have Barong hoodies, Bomber Barongs, or Coat Barongs. We even have Filipino jerseys for the more sporty shoppers out there.

Modern Filipina wears Barong

Having a piece of barong is like owning a part of our past. Nothing compares to the "feelings" connected with wearing traditional Filipino clothing. During the colonial era, the Baro't saya was the most common women's attire in the Philippines. While everyday wear was simpler, the blouse component was far more appealing than the skirt.

Today, the Baro't saya has been reimagined through contemporary styles such as Barong Tagalog for Women. This piece includes a sleeveless undershirt and is embroidered in two tones. It delivers a message of pride and independence with its round feminine buttons. Sizes range from Small to XXXL. It does not matter how big or small a woman is; she's all gorgeous. We are delighted to help them find the perfect fit for a valuable occasion.

Empowered Women Enjoy Wearing a Colorful Barong

What about getting a Barong with a vibrant color? Women's barong Tagalog comes in a variety of colors, including traditional white. It's now brighter and more stylish than ever, thanks to the addition of fun hues from contemporary designers.

Royalty, wealth, status, and ambition are all linked with the color purple, for example. If you're visiting a new place for the first time, it's essential to wear comfortable clothes.  Many styles are designed to be practical and comfortable for the wearer and consider the wearer's body type.

We also carry a variety of other women's Filipino garments such as the Barong Dress, Filipiniana gowns, Baro't Saya, Mestiza Boleros, Alampays or Boleros, and casual wear with either the iconic barong U-shaped embroidery or the terno's butterfly sleeves.

Our women’s barong provides a unique comfort experience. These are unique looks produced for you. You may wear this outfit to the office or casual events. We designed a sports collar with full-open buttons to make you feel relaxed throughout the event.
