What size scarf for a pareo?
-
100x100 cm : Perfect as a short sarong, tied at the waist or on the side. It adds a touch of style to your summer looks, whether you're at the beach or out and about.
-
130x130 cm : ideal as a long sarong for more coverage. It can be tied at the hips or draped like an asymmetrical skirt for a more sophisticated look.
-
90x90 cm in silk : to be worn at the waist after bathing for a chic, light and refined version.
Which material should I choose?
-
Silk : chic, elegant, and sophisticated, it's fluid, breathable, and easy to tie. It offers a refined drape, perfect for a bathrobe or a very couture beach look.
-
The cotton/silk blend : more textured, it provides hold and a very chic matte finish. Ideal for a more structured version of the pareo, with a beautiful drape and a natural feel against the skin.
Ideas for tying it as a sarong or stocking
-
Tied at the waist like a skirt : Fold the scarf diagonally, cross the ends over your hips, and tie them. The result? A short sarong perfect for showing off your legs.
-
Tied at the side for a long sarong : With our 130 square , wrap around the hips, then tie the ends at the side of the hip. This creates an elegant and airy drape.
-
For an asymmetrical skirt : Take one corner of the scarf, wrap it around your waist, then deliberately leave a longer end hanging down over your thigh. A fluid and modern effect, perfect for a bohemian summer look.
-
Layered over a one-piece swimsuit : Wear the scarf draped low over the hips, delicately tied to reveal the swimsuit. Ideal for a sophisticated beach look or a stroll on the sand.
What to pair it with?
A pareo scarf pairs well with a bikini top , a one-piece swimsuit , a linen tank top , or even a crop top for going out on the beach. It also completes a look composed of Bermuda shorts , high-waisted shorts , or a slit skirt . Add gold jewelry , flat or wedge sandals, and a wicker basket for a complete summer look. In the evening, it pairs well with a black bodysuit , a structured bustier , or a cotton voile blouse for a chic and unexpected twist.
