com. Hi, today I'm going to talk to you about how to wear a sarong. Sarongs come in so many different shapes and sizes, and beautiful colors.

So when you're picking a sarong, make sure it's vibrant and it stands out so that you'll look fantastic on the beach. There are really great prints now, these are really vibrant ones and all the high street stores have them. So they have sheer ones which come quite small so they're really perfect for using if you're just going to tie it around your waist.

The shorter sarongs are literally for just tying, just to disguise a thigh or just to make you feel a little bit more comfortable. Now, let's just do a double knot on the side, and that's how you wear a shorter sarong. Now, you can tell the difference between the shorter and the longer sarong because obviously, there's more material but usually the shorter sarongs have a printed section which enables it to look more like a skirt.

And always make sure that you have the side section, so it would really elongate your leg as well, it's really flattering for beach wear. Another way of wearing the sarong is if you have a full-length sarong like this lovely pink one here. Now, with this pink one or any larger sarong, you can see there's more material to it.

Take it round the back of your body and bring it round the front section here, and then you can just bring it over into a halter neck. This is a really great way of almost creating like a little dress that you wear around the beach. So the arms are through here, it covers your bust and it works like a short skirt as well.

So the opening is at the front, but it just folds over a bit like a wrap dress. It's really flattering, it's a really good way of covering up when you're by the beach or by the swimming pool, or just going down to breakfast when you're on holiday. So just remember that the longer sarongs can go around your neck or can be tied around your bust in the same way that the short one can, but you just bring it up above the bust like so.

So you can create three different looks really easily with the sarong. You can use it as a maxi skirt. If there are longer ones, you tie them on the same way the short does, you can take into halter neck as a dress or you can just simply tie it just above the bust just to give you a bit of discreet coverage.

I hope you've enjoyed hearing about how to wear a sarong. Thanks.
