Baro't Saya (Blouse and Skirt Combination): The traditional women’s attire is called Baro’t Saya, which consists of a blouse (Baro) and a long skirt (Saya). This outfit is commonly made from light, breathable fabrics like cotton or piña cloth (made from pineapple fibers), which is known for its fine texture and durability. The Baro is a loose-fitting blouse, often with lace or embroidery on the neckline and sleeves, while the Saya is a long skirt that reaches the ankles. This attire is commonly worn during formal events such as weddings, religious feasts, and important community celebrations (Aguilar, 2014).

Tapis: A Tapis is a traditional wrap-around garment, often worn over the Saya. It is a rectangular piece of cloth that is tied at the waist and drapes down to cover the legs. The Tapis serves both as a decorative and functional garment, adding an extra layer of modesty and formality. It is typically made of woven fabrics, often with bright colors and designs (Padilla, 2012).

Headpieces and Accessories: Traditionally, women also wore headscarves or kerchiefs that were tied around the head to complete the look. These headpieces were not only worn for religious purposes but also as part of formal attire during festivals and ceremonies. Additionally, women may wear beaded jewelry or silver accessories, which add to their ornate appearance during cultural celebrations (Santos, 2018). 

Barong Tagalog: Men traditionally wear the Barong Tagalog, a formal, embroidered shirt made from lightweight fabrics such as piña (pineapple fiber), jusi (silk banana), or abaca (banana fiber). The Barong Tagalog is a long-sleeved, open-necked shirt with intricate embroidered designs, often in floral or geometric patterns. This attire is typically worn for formal occasions like weddings, church services, and community events. The Barong is lightweight and breathable, perfect for the tropical climate of the region (Reyes, 2021).

Pantalon (Trousers): Beneath the Barong Tagalog, men traditionally wear loose-fitting trousers made from cotton or other lightweight materials. These trousers are practical for farming or work, as they provide ease of movement but are also appropriate for ceremonial events when paired with the Barong Tagalog (Santos, 2018).

Sashes and Belts: Men also sometimes wear decorative sashes or belts around their waist, particularly during important events. These accessories can be made of woven fabrics or leather, and they serve both a functional and aesthetic purpose. They are tied in such a way that allows for easy access to tools or weapons, a practical feature for the Ibanag men, many of whom were traditionally involved in agriculture or defense (Padilla, 2012). 

Weddings: For weddings, both men and women wear the finest Baro’t Saya and Barong Tagalog. The couple often wears matching outfits, and the Barong Tagalog may feature more intricate embroidery, symbolizing the importance of the event. Women’s Baro’t Saya can include beaded accessories or embroidered shawls for added elegance (Aguilar, 2014). In traditional weddings, the bride may also wear a veil or crown, adding a more ceremonial touch to the attire.

Religious Festivals: During festivals like Pista ng Bayan (town festivals), the Ibanags dress in their traditional clothing to show reverence and participate in religious rituals. The Baro't Saya for women and Barong Tagalog for men are common during these festivities, which are marked by processions, dances, and communal feasts. The attire is meant to show respect for the patron saints being honored and the community’s collective identity (Reyes, 2021). 

Pantos: Both men and women often wear flip-flops or sandals made from wood or woven fibers. The use of simple sandals or barefoot walking is common, particularly in rural settings where the terrain is often rough and uneven (Dela Cruz, 2015).

Formal Shoes: For formal events, leather sandals or shoes are worn by men, while women might opt for simple flat sandals or traditional woven slippers. These shoes are typically worn during festivals or church services but are not commonly used for daily work, where comfort and utility are more important.
