Filipino Street Wear Style Guide: How to Wear Baybayin, Jerseys and Mesh

Filipino street wear is easy to style once you know a few basics.

Jerseys

Wear a heritage jersey oversized over a white tee, with wide-leg jeans or basketball shorts. Let the back print show.

Barong-style mesh tees

The boxy, cropped fit pairs well with high-waisted pants or baggy denim. Layer a fitted tank underneath if you prefer.

Baybayin hoodies and crewnecks

Keep the rest of the fit simple so the Baybayin stands out: neutral joggers, clean sneakers.

Basketball shorts

Match with a jersey for a full set at festivals, or pair with a plain tee for everyday wear.

Accessories

Add a bucket hat, a malong-inspired scarf or a woven bag from a Filipino artisan.

Wear it with meaning

Know the story behind your design. Someone will ask.

Wear the story

Build your look. Shop the jerseys. UGAT means roots. Know yours.
