The sarong is a piece of clothing that both men and women wear in various parts of the world, but especially in South Asia and Southeast Asia. This long and brightly colored garment is worn on hot summer days, around the house, while relaxing by the pool and even while entertaining guests during an informal dinner in the garden. It is extremely comfortable and surprisingly versatile and you don't have to be in an exotic location to wear it.
Steps
Step 1. Step into the sarong with your feet or slip it over your head
Turn it until you have the dark stripe on the back side. Keep the top end open at the waist level.
Step 2. Squeeze the sarong against one hip and pull it out of the opposite hip
Step 3. Pull out the free flap fabric and hold it firmly in front of you
It may be helpful to use the other hand to keep the inner flap close to the body.
Step 4. Bring the flap back to the other side, pulling it and always keeping it close to the body
Step 5. Roll the sarong down several times, starting at the waist
The tighter you roll it up, the easier it will stay on. The ideal is to roll it up above the hips.
Advice
- If the sarong has no laces, you can use a decorative safety pin instead of rolling it up to hold it up. Alternatively, the sarong can also be rolled up and draped in layers, wrapping the corners of the main flap around the body and knotting them. There is also the possibility of using a belt.
