Whether you need a barong for a wedding or a tee that reps your roots, buying Filipino clothes online is easier than ever. Here's what to look for.

Formalwear: barong and Filipiniana

Look for clear fabric details (piña, jusi, organza or blends), size charts with chest and length measurements, and photos of the embroidery up close. Order early, since many pieces are made to order.

Handwoven textiles

For malong, inabel, t'nalak or other woven pieces, buy from weaving cooperatives or sellers who name the community the cloth comes from. That way the money supports the weavers.

Filipino streetwear

For everyday wear, look for brands that put real meaning behind their designs. At UGAT, every design starts with a story: a hero, a deity, a word in Baybayin.

Questions to ask

  • Who designed it, and are they Filipino?

  • Is the cultural content accurate?

  • What's the return policy?

  • How long will shipping take?
