A handful of gents at Preview Ball 2025 made one thing clear: menswear is a headline act.
On September 2, 2025, the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport World Resorts, Pasay City, set the stage for a modern Filipiniana dress code, where heritage was reworked with contemporary flair.
The dress code for the men went beyond just looking sharp—local craft ran through every detail like a lifeblood of luxury.
Barongs featured razor-sharp lines and structured shoulders; plackets were tailored closer, and lengths paired with higher-waisted trousers for a crisper, more modern stance.
Piña, jusi, and jacquard were reimagined through contemporary tailoring, with embroidery accenting yokes, cuffs, and structured panels.
Palettes ranged from neutral to bold, allowing the weave and workmanship to speak for themselves.
These men made a statement—fusing Filipino style with a confident touch of swagger.
