1 Fold the sarong diagonally. Fold the scarf in half diagonally to form a triangle.

2 Wrap the sarong around your waist.

3 Take the ends of the sarong and tie a knot at the side. Tie another knot to secure the skirt. Then fluff the ends of the scarf. This style is best used as a beach cover-up for a swimsuit.

Method 2 of 4: As a halter dress

1. 1 Take the sarong horizontally. Wrap the scarf around your back like a towel.
2. 2 Bring the top ends together in front of you.
3. 3 Twist the ends around each other twice. Then tie them at the back of your neck to form a collar.
   • To create a bandeau dress, tie the two ends of the sarong in front of you, not at the back.
4. 4 Ready.

Method 3 of 4: As a long skirt

1. 1 Take the sarong horizontally. Wrap the sarong around your waist like a towel.
   • If the scarf is too long, fold the sarong horizontally in half beforehand.
2. 2 Place the tip of the sarong in each hand. Then pinch the ends long enough to tie the knot.
3. 3 Tie a knot. Keeping the ends in front of you, tie a simple knot. Then tie a second knot to secure.
4. 4 Rotate the sarong over yourself so that the knot is on the side of your thigh. If you prefer, you can slide the knot to one side. When walking with this style, one leg will be exposed.
5. 5 Fluff the ends of the sarong. Fan the ends of the knot and make sure the front, patterned, side of the scarf is facing up.
6. 6 Alternatively, tie the skirt so that it completely covers your body. If you don't like wearing a front or side slit sarong, you can tie it in another way:
   • Take the sarong horizontally and wrap it around your waist (like a towel). Then continue pulling on the ends until you can tie them at the lower back.
   • If done correctly, there will be no slit in the front and the sarong will look like a regular skirt from the front.

Method 4 of 4: Other options

1. 1 Wear like a one shoulder dress.
   • Take the sarong upright, wrapping one of the short sides under your arm.
   • Take two ends, one at the front and one at the back, and tie them in a double knot on the shoulder of the opposite arm.
   • Take the two edges of the sarong (on the same side as the shoulder knot) at the waist and secure with a double knot.
2. 2 Wear like a dress with a side slit.
   • Take the sarong upright and wrap it behind your back like a towel. Connect the top two ends and tie a double knot over the chest.
   • From the front of the dress, take two edges at waist level and tie with a double knot.
   • Turn the knot at the waist to the side until the slit is at the side of the thigh.
3. 3 Wear like a draped dress.
   • Hold the sarong upright and wrap it around the front of your body. Take the two ends and tie loosely at the back of the neck so that the sarong fits nicely in the front.
   • Wrap one of the edges of the sarong around the back to create a skirt. Take the other side, grab a few inches of hem at waist level, and double knot at both ends.
4. 4 Wear like a cascading bandeau dress.
   • Hold the sarong horizontally and wrap it behind your back like a towel.
   • Grasp the ends of the sarong and pull the edges of the scarf between your palms until about 2 cm is left from the arms to the chest on each side.
   • Take the edges and double knot them over the chest. The longer side of the sarong should cascade in front.
5. 5 Wear it like a toga.
   • Take the sarong horizontally and wrap it behind your back like a towel.
   • Take one side of the sarong and wrap it around the front of the body until the tip is under the opposite hand.
   • Take the top corner (the part you just wrapped around the body) and swing it over your shoulder from your back.
   • Take the other top corner and tie both ends together at the shoulder to create a toga.
6. 6 Wear like a wrap dress.
   • Hold the sarong horizontally and wrap it behind your back like a towel.
   • Grasping the top tip on one side of the sarong, twist the scarf over your body and toss it over the opposite shoulder.
   • Take the top corner on the other side of the sarong and wrap the scarf around the front (under the chest) and around the back so that the tips meet on the opposite shoulder.
   • Knot both corners to the shoulder.
7. 7 Wear like a jumpsuit.
   • Hold the sarong upright and wrap it around your body, under your armpits.
   • Double knot the top two ends at the back (you may need help with this).
   • Take the end of the scarf (which should be near your feet) and stretch it between your legs.
   • Take the bottom two ends of the sarong, wrap it around your waist and tie it in a double knot at the front.

Tips

• Make sure the knot is tied tightly so that the sarong does not slip off of you.
• We advise you to first practice wearing and tying the sarong at home to create the look you want.
• It is possible for additional security, as well as to decorate the sarong, fasten the knot with a pin or brooch.
• To use the sarong as a shawl, simply drape it around your shoulders.
