Clothings of Filipinos
Who,What,Where-Filipinos
The Philippines is a country with a diverse culture, and its traditional clothing reflects this. From the vibrant colors of the baro't saya to the modern elegance of the Filipiniana gown, clothing in the Philippines is a reflection of both the past and present.
The baro't saya is the national costume of the Philippines and is typically worn during special occasions such as parties, festivals, and religious ceremonies. The blouse and skirt of the baro't saya are typically made of piña fabric, a type of fabric woven from pineapple leaves. The colors of the baro't saya are traditionally vibrant, often featuring a combination of red, yellow, and purple. The traditional style of the baro't saya is often accessorized with a butterfly sleeve, intricate embroidery, and a shawl.
The Filipiniana gown is the modern version of the baro't saya. It combines traditional elements of the baro't saya with more contemporary styles. The Filipiniana gown typically features a long, flowing skirt, a butterfly sleeve, and an off-the-shoulder top. The colors of the Filipiniana gown are often muted pastels, and the fabric is often lace or silk.
