Wear it as a scarf, add flare to an outfit, or use it as a skirt – all possibilities for embroidered sarongs!

As the summer months fade into a warm and pleasant memory, many women will make the switch from swimsuits and capri’s to scarves and sweaters. However, one summer favorite can survive the transition from summer to autumn. The sarong – a versatile clothing item, is the perfect fashion choice for any season.

Sarongs are commonly associated with beachwear, but sarongs are very versatile garments. The same sarong that functions as a halter dress or wrap in the summer can also function as a comfortable skirt or a cozy scarf.

Sarongs have a reputation for being distinctly summery, but many sarongs can be used for an autumn look. An embroidered sarong can add seasonal flair to any outfit, and solid fall colors can be used to complement a casual or professional outfit. There are so many design possibilities, so dressing for seasonal comfort and fashion is easy.

The sarong’s fashion potential extends well beyond the summer months. The flattering garment can function as a comfortable skirt, a cozy scarf, or a warming head wrap. Distinct colors, embroidered sarongs, and other gorgeous designs can bring color and life to the cooler months. The versatility of this garment ensures that any woman can find a sarong for all seasons.

Find out how to get the most out of your sarongs this winter!

Winter may not seem like the ideal time to wear sarongs, but an escape from the cold can bring this style option back into the rotation. Here are some winter escape tips that let women get out of the snow and onto the beach.

  • Pick a place where sarongs are commonplace. A tropical beach may be ideal, but many families cannot afford just a luxurious last-minute getaway. Beaches that are within driving distance of home can still offer warmer weather when vacationers head south.
  • Avoid traveling during major holidays. The crowds are huge, the airports are stuffy and prices skyrocket. There is a small window of opportunity between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but winter travel is best done in the New Year.
  • Pack enough sarongs to create a different look each day. Vacation is a time to have some fun and try out something new.
  • Check out the average local weather to determine the type of clothes that should be packed for the trip. Some beach locations have a rainy season, and checking out the typical weather for the season can help vacationers avoid these areas.
  • Consider staying close to home. There are resorts that offer indoor pools, hot tubs and other excuses to wear sarongs. Staying closer to home reduces vacation expenses and lets vacationers splurge when it comes to the hotel and dining options that are chosen.

fresh fashion statement as part of any outfit and can be worn in a variety of ways.

Dress – Togas, side-slit dresses, halter dresses, draped dresses and more can all be fashioned from a single sarong. It doesn’t take long to master the few strategic tying methods that make so many different styles possible.

Skirt – Folding a sarong in half or diagonally and wrapping it around your hips turns it into an attractive mini skirt that you can wear at the beach or any time you need a quick cover-up. Leave the sarong unfolded to make a longer skirt that flows as you move.

Headwear – Mini sarongs make great hair accessories. Wear one bandana-style by folding it into a triangle and tying it behind your head to keep your hair in place on a windy day. Alternatively, try rolling the sarong up and making a headband to accentuate your bangs and highlight your natural style.

Wrap – The simplest way to use green sarongs as part of your summer wardrobe is to grab one and simply wrap it around your shoulders. Let it drape naturally for a casual look or fold it in half and knot it above one shoulder to create an eye-catching poncho with chic, beachy style.

dress with a sleight of hand and stylish sarong ties to hold it in place. Pull it off, shake it and spread on the sand for an eye-catching daydreaming blanket.

This versatility means that the sarong will find many uses when you travel. It can be fashioned as a cover-up when visiting places that require a little more modesty. For instance, many temples and places of worship require that visitors’ legs should be properly garbed, and never mind the humidity. Use your sarong for this purpose, or wear it as head cover if local custom dictates. Keep a set of sarong ties handy to secure the various incarnations of your sarong.

Where accommodations are Spartan rather than luxe, use your sarong as an extra sheet, light blanket or pillow cover. When camping, roll the sarong into bolster pillow for a perfect stargazing cushion. When the munchies strike, use the sarong as a picnic blanket.

Hang it as a privacy curtain where changing stalls are unavailable. In a similar way, use sarong ties to suspend it from tree branches to create an instant canopy when you’re outdoors. Or in a pinch, the sarong can also be fashioned into an instant bag with the help of a couple of sarong ties. With all the ways a sarong can be useful when you’re traveling, why leave home without it?
