A Barong Tagalog (or
simply Barong) is an
embroidered formal garment
of the
Philippines. It
is very lightweight and worn
untucked, similarly to a
coat. It is the common
wedding and formal attire
for Filipino men. Barong
Tagalog literally means "Tagalog
dress" in the
Tagalog language.
This Filipino tradition dates back to the Spanish Colonial era. The Spaniards made Filipinos wear barongs untucked to distinguish them from the ruling class. Also, barongs had to be made of thin fabric so that the Spaniards could assure that the wearer was not bearing a weapon under the garment.
