The Barong Tagalog is the traditional suit for man and woman to wear in formal occasions in the Philippines. Barong Tagalog literally means “Tagalog dress” in the Tagalog language. Barong Tagalogs somewhat resemble the guyabera, or the traditional Latin wedding shirt. Barong Tagalogs are often worn with an opaque undershirt and darkly-colored formal slacks. Barong Tagalog are made from three kinds of fabrics. Barong Tagalog- Barong is actually short for Barong Tagalog, which describes the formal men's wear of the Philippines.
The Barong Tagalog has a long tradition of more than four centuries. The roots of the Barong Tagalog begin from the Spanish rule. Barongs were usually made of thin fabric--almost transparent or translucent--and with no pockets, so that the Spaniards could see that the wearer was not bearing any weapon under the garment. The Spanish rulers demanded the Filipino men to wear a BarongTagalog. At that time when some Filipinos became successful business men or successful in agricultural, these lucky and more important middle classmen had to wear the Barong Tagalog just as Spanish rulers demanded.
Barongs are definitely more comfortable than a normal dress shirt in the heat and my wife says it brings out the Cary Grant in me. We have a large Filipino wedding to go to later this summer and I was able to get order the extra size Barong I needed online at BarongsRUs.com. My son and the ring bearers look very handsome in their barongs. My wife and I only wish we would have ordered a barong for my son's first communion. I am sure happy about not having to wear a suit to this wedding instead, I have a dressy barong.
