Women are discovering how versatile these richly-colored wardrobe staples can be by wearing them not only for the beach but, wearing them as skirts, dresses, headscarves, shawls, or home décor.

Here are some simple steps to tying your sarong or other whys called pareo…

The skirt- long skirt or as a mini. 1st, hold the fabric out horizontally around your lower back, then drop one corner wrapping the fabric around your body bring the edges together around the front and tie at your hip. Left over right and right over left – for a nice clean knot.

The halter dress- This is a very feminine look. Hold the fabric out behind you in your classic skirt stance, then bring the corners around under your arms and tie or twist at the front or bring around excess fabric and tie behind your neck.

The strapless- This look is very flattering to all shaped women. Hold fabric horizontal behind your back under your arms, drop one corner down to give more of a stretch and contours the body. Wrap around your body bringing the corners together and tie. This look is also real cute over jeans.

It’s amazing what you can do with a piece of cloth. Be daring and invent your own ways to wear.
