Filipino Fashion Statements

I am very proud of the fact that I am Filipino. I will delve deeper into this another time, but for now, I'll keep it light.

These days, I love the fact that people show their patriotism and love for our country through what they wear, for everyone to see. In honor of Independence day, I have compiled a list of my favorite fashion statements that showcase our love for our country and our fellow men.

1. Number one on my list is the Adidas Philippines Jacket. Nothing screams that you're Filipino and proud of it like this bright blue, white, and red jacket emulating our Philippine Flag.

2. I absolutely love, love, love the My Pilipinas clothing line of Collezione, designed by Rhette Eala. His pieces mostly prominently display a map of the Philippines in classic and funky designs. You can check out the official website here.

3. Of course, we have our tribute t-shirts to our world famous boxer, our champion, Manny Paquiao, made specially by Nike.

4. Last but definitely not the least, I have to mention the limited edition Havaianas Filipinas collection. Wear the world's best flip-flops and show off your national pride. Get one with a stylized Philippine flag symbol, or even better yet, get the pair which features our ever loved Phillipine Icon, the Jeepney. You can check out the official website here too.


Now I know as of now I only have four on my list. What's your favorite Philippine pride fashion statement?
