Directions: Grab the sarong by the width and place it behind your back. Wrap it forward taking each side across the neck and tie behind. If the scarf is wide enough, it will drape nicely in front completely covering you up.
All week long I’ve been writing about the local Hong Kong brand Louella Odié and the chic bags from their Lattice Collection. What I haven’t mentioned is that they also add their printmaking art to beautiful cotton scarves. In this post I’ve taken the Lattice Collection Sarong and styled it beyond the usual way and added four more ways to wear a sarong. Some I might repeat, and I’ll admit one way was just laughable–keep reading!
Directions: Take the sarong and fold the width in half. Now tie the sarong just like the original way behind the neck. This one is just the crop top version!
Directions: For this sarong tie, I combined the first and two looks. Basically, instead of starting from behind wrapping around the front, and tying at the back of the neck, I started at the front, crossed over in the back, and then tied at the front at the neck. Presto! A tube top with a neck tie. Pair it with sequin shorts, and this provided a dressed up look for a fancier beach dinner.
Directions: With the sarong folded by width in half, I held one side in the front in the middle of my waist. Then I wrapped the other side fully around. I took both corners and tied. (A slimmer waist will get a bigger tie.)
Directions: With the sarong hanging length wise at my waist, I took the width and tied those two corners behind my waist. I then took the length and wrapped it through my legs and up to my waist. With the two width corners in my hand I brought them forward and tied them together at the front of my waist. I’m wearing (diaper) shorts! This was the version that had the entire family laughing. It received a big “no” from them, but this version was comfortable!)
How do you wear a sarong?
I’m curious, aside from the usual, do you have any nifty ways to wear a sarong? Do you think you might try any of the five ways above? Which ones? And, isn’t this Lattice Sarong beautiful!?
*It’s been pretty awesome to support Louella Odié this week by featuring them on my Style Stories, using three bags to travel to Thailand, plus having their Lattice Tote as my beach bag, and now there’s this post sharing five ways to wear a sarong. I’ll give one last shout out: if you’re interested in purchasing from Louella Odié, make sure to take advantage of 15% off with the code KREMBDELAKREMB.
Love this post and all the ways to wear a sarong!!! I started recognizing this fabric print. Lovely!! xoxo Zuma

Thanks Zuma! On my next vacation (in just a week!) I’m thinking of bringing another sarong and seeing if I can figure out five more ways to tie it.

Hah…never realized they were so versatile! Can I just say, I have those sequined shorts (mine are from H & M—wearing them tonight to dinner!!) I’m a little jealous that wherever you are it’s warm….we now have 6 inches of snow! jodie

Oh gosh Jodie!! It’s not warm enough for these shorts in Hong Kong either. These sarong pics are from my Chinese New Year holiday in Hua Hin, Thailand. I’m headed out on another trip coming up for Spring Break–I think I’ll bring these sequin shorts again because they scream instant dress-up but in shorts! Maybe I should try here in Hong Kong–just with black tights….I’ll have to go see how you’ve styled them. Yes, mine are also from HM–like only $8 or something on sale! A x
Unfortunately, Sarongs and Scotland are not the best of friends! hahaha
I have one, which I wear as a scarf/wrap on summer days.
One fact that you have not mentioned (and is leaping out of this post) is….your amazing figure.
I mean AMAZING.
Curves where curves should be and your skin tone is to die for…I now am officially green with envy, well a blueish-green anyway :oP!

Ahh, thanks Samantha! I always get a bit nervous when I bare my skin over here on the blog, but then I just go for it! I have to tell you–these pictures are from a beach holiday in Thailand, not Hong Kong. We’re still drowning in a heavy thick fog that doesn’t want to leave. Luckily today there’s a bit of a wind today so maybe we’ll see the sky today. Maybe…. Thanks again Sam! A x
Beautiful sarong! I love how you styled it different ways! You look stunning!
