1970 Fashion Trends in the Philippines

You can expect to see some 1970 fashion trends in the Philippines because of the country’s decade long effort to create a unique identity. The Philippines, having been occupied by the Americans before, has gone through a lot of cultural changes that are still ongoing today. Even so, the fashion in the Philippines is still influenced by its colonial history as well as the influences of the Western countries.

The women of the Philippines have always been conscious of their appearance. This has been made possible through the ways the women’s dress and the ways they covered themselves. The cloth of choice for the women of the Philippines were the leggings which they wore during the cold months and trousers and skirts when it was warm. Today, these traditional clothes are no longer being used and instead the women choose to wear clothes that are trendy and hip. However, it must be noted that the women of the Philippines are very conscious about how they look especially to the foreign visitors. If you go out to a Filipino restaurant in Angeles, or other big cities there are many women who would be wearing mini skirts and western-style shirts.

One of the best examples of this trend is the clothing for the women that are employed in the entertainment industry in the Philippines. In fact, you can find a number of female celebrities that are Philippine-American and from the Philippines. Some notable names include former Spice Girl, Ramona Park, receptionist in the Virgin Islands, and dancer in Rentarama. In fact, there are also several TV actresses and singers that are proud of their heritage and culture and at the same time, very fashionable and at the same time, very popular.
