How to Wear a Sarong

How to Wear a Sarong



You can tie a sarong in dozens of ways and use it as your only garment, as another layer on top of a dress or pants and a tunic or camisole top or as a scarf. Once you master the two basic techniques below, both of which use a sarong as a layer, you can experiment with your own style.







Things You'll Need:





Sarong, 64 inches by 44 inches







Create a Formal Look




Step
1



Hold the sarong behind you lengthwise, grasping one end of the sarong in each hand.




Step
2



Toss the right side of the sarong over your left shoulder and tuck the left side of the sarong into the fabric under your right arm.




Step
3



Allow the sarong to hang over your left shoulder or, for a different look, tuck the right side of the sarong under the fabric in back.


Create a Flirty Look




Step
1



Hold the sarong behind you, again grasping one end of the sarong in each hand.




Step
2



Pull the sarong further up your body so it's about knee-length, with the sarong fabric immediately under each arm.




Step
3



Bring the right side of the sarong over your left shoulder and the left side over your right shoulder.




Step
4



Tie the ends together behind your neck like a halter top.




Step
5



Open up the front of the sarong to show off the top you're wearing underneath it. Alternately, you can keep it closed for a different look.







Tips & Warnings









You can use this approach to create a top as well, though if you're not wearing a top underneath your sarong, you may want to pin it with a brooch for modesty.
