How to Wear a Barong
- 1). Iron or steam the Barong so that it is smooth and wrinkle-free. Because the material is thin, it may tend to wrinkle more easily than other shirts. And because it is a formal shirt, you want to make sure it is nice and pressed before attending an event.
- 2). Put on an opaque undershirt, such as a sleeveless shirt or short-sleeve undershirt. Make sure the shirt is in a similar color, because it will show through beneath the shirt. Also, make sure the collar complements the other shirt. For instance, a V-neck undershirt may look odd with the high crew neckline of the Barong.
- 3). Pair the Barong Tagalog with a pair of dark-colored dress slacks. Because the shirt is generally white or off-white, the dark slacks form a nice contrast with the color of the shirt. Do not tuck the shirt in. Wear nice dress shoes as you would with any pair of formal slacks.
