There has never been a better time to be Filipino. With the rise of local talent across multiple disciplines—from Bini shattering records and young highschoolers impressing in World of Dance to the 22 Filipino athletes competing in Paris, Pinoy pride is no longer an unfounded claim to fame. We’re not going for participation trophies anymore. There’s finally something worth truly being proud of.
And what better way to show our pride than through what we wear? But we’re not just talking about any random tee with a Filipino flag slapped on it. Here are some pieces to help channel Pinoy pride—fashionably.

Carhartt WIP just opened its Manila flagship store at the Power Plant Mall this July 2024. In commemoration of the streetwear brand’s arrival, they prepared a limited edition graphic T-shirt that abstractly features the Manila sky.
Pinoy pride isn’t just about wearing the flag. It can start with repping our nation’s capital. The tee is only available exclusively in-store.

“No one said that carrying the weight of a nation was going to be easy, but Team Philippines is here to play,” said Adidas when they announced the Philippine team’s Olympic gear. We won’t carry the same weight the 22 athletes in Paris are carrying but who’s to say we can’t look as good as them? The special edition tracksuit comes in multiple colors—but be warned, stocks are limited.
