What Is an Alampay?
The Baro’t Saya of the spanish colonial period featured an alampay (or pañuelo) as a staple accessory. Traditionally worn with two pieces of outer garments, the style incorporated a shoulder cape with a cross-body sash which accentuated femininity and grace to the sheer blouses worn by Filipinas during that period.
The alampay was made from piña, jusi, lace, and other delicate fabrics which were beautifully embroidered. It showcased one’s sociocultural standing, art, or family heritage.
Today, the Filipiniana alampay continues to be an item of great value. It is worn proudly during cultural and formal events and is also blended into contemporary fashion by trendsetting Filipinas.
Styles to Wear the Alampay
- Classic Draped Style: Traditional style is worn over the shoulders.
- Modern Chic: More of a fashion statement that is done with asymmetrical styling.
- Layered Elegance: Worn with a Filipiniana Top or Barong.
- Casual Sophistication: Slightly draped around the neck for a stylish but subtle look.
