Sarongs are worn by both women and men, and can be styled in many
different ways. Women tend to wear them as full body wraps or long and
short skirts, while men usually tie them around their waists or wear
them as shorts. Sarongs can also be used as tablecloths, runners,
curtains, scarves and more. They are a fun accessory and make a lovely
gift.
Indonesian:
The patterns of Indonesian sarongs are
usually the result of a dyeing method called batik. The batik artist
places wax paper on the portions of fabric that they do not want to be
dyed. Batik is a national art form in Indonesia, most commonly practiced
in Java and Bali. Given the hot, tropical climate of Indonesia it is no
wonder that both men and women enjoy the light fabric that's used to
make sarongs. The patterns of men's sarongs however, are usually a
checkerboard design.
Hawaiian:
Hawaiian sarongs are a great
way to glam up an otherwise plain swimsuit. They are also a great way to
cover up otherwise unwanted cellulite and fat! They are easy to put on
and can be worn in so many different ways. The bright colours and flower
prints of Hawaiian sarongs specifically, can add an exotic flair to
your look.
Wedding:
For beach weddings, a sarong wedding
dress is a nice, comfortable option. It flows nicely in the breeze of
the ocean and is a light material to keep you cool. Best of all, brides
won't mind if it gets a bit sandy or wet at the bottom. Most sarong
wedding dresses are made of silk and can double as honeymoon lingerie!
For Men:
Turns
out that men love to wear sarongs as well. And while they'll try a wide
variety of colours, the darker, masculine ones, are more appealing to
them. These include forest green, deep red, and charcoal. Gold accented
patterns are also quite popular. They make wonderful gifts and are great
to wear by the pool or beach, as a scarf, sarong, or around the
shoulders.
Sarongs are extremely easy to wear and very versatile.
Different cultures and geographical regions have their own styles and
print-making techniques, which makes them a fabulously fashionable item
to pick up when on holiday. They make great throws, tablecloths,
scarves, bags, and more. A simple accessory that can add a colourful or
ethnic touch to your look. The best part is that they never go out of
style.
