How to Wear a Short Sarong

Short sarongs--the sexier rendition of the longer sarong--are traditionally worn as beachwear over swimsuits or bikinis, but they’re not just for the surf and sand. Putting on a short sarong is simple enough. Just wrap it around your waist, right at your natural hip line, tie the ends in a knot on the side and let the ends hang. Here are a few ways to wear it even if you’re away from the water.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Leggings

• Slacks

How to Wear a Short Sarong

1. Wear a patterned short sarong over an all-black leotard to put a cute twist on the age-old exercise attire.

2. Wrap a solid colored short sarong over a pair of skinny jeans. The contrast between the loose hanging sarong and the form fitting jeans is flattering, while also camouflaging the hips, if that’s a problem area for you.

3. Twist a short sarong and loop it through the belt loops of a pair of slacks.

4. Pair a short sarong with a pair of solid colored leggings and a form-fitting top.

Tips & Warnings

• You can always wear a short sarong to cover your bikini. This is a classic poolside look that never goes out of style.
