Sarongs are worn by both men and women in many parts of the world, but especially in south and southeast Asia. This long, brightly colored fabric can be worn on a hot summer day, while lounging around the house, sitting by the pool, and even while entertaining guests for a casual, backyard dinner. Sarongs are extremely comfortable, striking, and versatile, and you don't need to be in an exotic locale to wear one.

Steps

Step into the sarong or draw it over your head. Turn the sarong until the dark stripe is towards your back side. Hold the top open at waist level.

Pull the sarong tight against one side of your body, and stretch the sarong out away from your other side.

Draw the excess cloth back across the front of your body, pulling it tightly up against your waist. It helps if you hold the inner fold against your body with one hand as you draw the front to the other side of your body with the other hand.

Pull the folded cloth back against your opposite hip and hold it tightly against your body.

Roll the top of the sarong down over itself to the front. Do this several times. The tighter the roll, the easier it will be to keep the sarong on. It's best if the final roll ends up above the hips.
