Become A FanFashionable Ways to Wear a SarongSarongs are the perfect coverups for bathing suits: they're
cute, lightweight and totally versatile. The trick to looking great in one is knowing how to wear it. Lisa Letarte Cabrinha, designer for Letarte swimwear, shares simple and unique ways to style a sarong. Watch the video below, to see how to tie the four methods described in this article as well as the two styles that were featured in the August issue of Woman's Day. Then, test them all out at home, and see which one you like best!
Draped Dress1. First, hold two corners on the long side of the sarong and tie them behind your neck loosely. The fabric should drape like a cowl neck.
2. Holding the edges of the sarong below the waist, gather a couple inches of the sarong and wrap it behind you.
3. Move both edges all the way around to one hip and then
double-knot the edges.
Bandeau Cascade Dress1. Holding two corners on the long side of the sarong, wrap
the sarong behind your back horizontally.
2. Move your grip along the edge of the sarong about a foot
toward your chest and tie the edges together in a double-knot against the bust, allowing the extra fabric to cascade down.
Toga Dress1. Holding two corners on the long side of the sarong, wrap
the sarong behind your back horizontally.
2. Wrap one corner all the way around your body, and tuck it underneath the opposite arm. Pull the corner over the back of the shoulder.
3. Holding that corner with one hand, pull the other corner
in front of your shoulder and tie the two corners into a knot at your shoulder. You should allow the fabric to drape down in front of your arm.
Wrap Dress1. Holding two corners on the long side of the sarong, wrap
the sarong behind your back horizontally.
2. Bring one end across your body to the opposite shoulder.
3. Wrap the other end underneath your bust, around your back to the opposite shoulder.
4. Tie both ends at the shoulder.
