A sarong makes a good beach skirt.

When the weather turns warm, put away your sweaters and thermals. For spring and summer, opt to wear a sarong. A sarong is a versatile clothing item that you can wear as a skirt, a dress or a shoulder wrap.

      Wear the sarong as a skirt. Wrap it sarong around your body, just above your hips. Tie ends in a square knot, making sure to pull it tight so your sarong won't fall down. This knot should be either on one side of your body or directly in the center of your pelvis area. Choose a cute matching shirt to wear with the sarong. To shorten your sarong skirt, simply fold the sarong in half before tying it on.

      Wear the sarong as a dress. Put the sarong behind you and wrap it forward. Cross the two ends and then tie them behind your neck in a square knot to create a halter-top dress. Alternatively, you can simply tie a square knot in the front of your body and wear your sarong as a strapless.

      Showcase your sarong by wearing it as a shoulder wrap. Tie the short ends to themselves. Now slip your wrists through the holes, centering the back of sarong on your back. This will help keep your shoulders covered while still staying cool on a hot summer day.

Tips & Warnings

  • To make a square knot, tie right over left and under, and left over right and under.

  • Shorts beneath your sarong are always a good choice.

  • Beware strong winds when wearing your sarong.
