Fashion and Clothing in the Philippines refers to the way the peoples of Filipino society dress up in instances such as while they are at home, while at work, while travelling, and when attending special occasions. ==Overview== The clothing style and fashion sense of the Filipinos in the modern-day era has been influenced by their native ancestors, the Spaniards (the Philippines was a colony of the Spanish Empire for around 300 years), the Americans (the Philippines was a territory of the United States for about 50 years), and even the Japanese (Japanese soldiers occupied the Philippines during World War II), as evidenced by the chronology of events that occurred in Philippine history.〔 At present, Filipinos conform their way of dressing, in addition to the above factors, as a result of the influence of what is shown by the media on television, cinema, and fashion shows, among others.〔 Apart from "colonial influences" and "media influence", the Filipino style of clothing had been dictated by the climate in the Philippines. With a tropical climate (dry and rainy seasons), early Filipinos - as well as the still extant tribal groups in the Philippines - wear colorful woven clothes, often with "intricate beadwork" and other ornaments. Other native clothing, during Pre-Spanish Philippines were the ''canga'' and the ''bahag''. The ''canga'' is a type of a collarless shirt - which later became adorned with laces, trimmings, buttons, and a collar - was where from the Barong Tagalog evolved. On the other hand, the ''bahag'' was a type of loincloth or G-string. Present-day Filipinos, due to climatic reasons, prefer to wear T-shirts combined with ''maong'' (jeans) trousers for men and skirts for women. The "jeans and T-shirts" combination was introduced to the Filipinos by the Americans.〔 A common attire while at home are ordinary ''puruntongs'' (singular: ''puruntong'', a type of pair of shorts or Capri pants) combined with sleeveless shirts or T-shirts. During the rainy season and cold evenings in December and January, some Filipinos wear hooded jackets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.filipino-heritage.com/filipino-clothing.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fashion and clothing in the Philippines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
