How Women & Men Can Benefit From The Versatility Of The Sarong

First of all, what exactly is a sarong? A sarong, which can be called many different names depending on which countries we are talking about, is a garment that is wrapped around your waist and flows down to the ankles. This is not a skirt, even though it might look so.

The main difference is that the sarong is wrapped around the waist differently depending on if you are a man or woman. Men in South East Asia typically wear the sarong more often than women in a country such as India. Which leads us to make this article, which will discuss some alternative ways to incorporate the sarong into your summer fashion.

Let’s take a look.

Women

Floral print sarongs are widely seen on women in a variety of countries, from East Africa to South East Asia. A white blouse is typically worn while wearing a sarong in the evening, while in the day a basic cotton shirt is worn. Traditionally the sarong was symbolic for certain ceremonies, but now has been made popular in Europe and the Americas mainly by celebrities.
