Looking for a stylish summer look for the beach, a sunny day, a chic post-swim outfit, or a casual summer evening? Your scarf can instantly become a pareo. Elegant, practical, and easy to tuck into your beach bag or suitcase, it can be tied at the waist or hips for a flowing, bohemian look.
Which scarf sizes work for a pareo?
-
100x100 cm: perfect for a short pareo tied at the waist or side. Ideal for beach walks or casual summer outings.
-
130x130 cm: perfect for a long pareo with more coverage. Tie it at the hips or drape it like an asymmetric skirt for a sophisticated look.
-
90x90 cm silk: chic and lightweight, to wear at the waist for a refined post-swim style.
Which material to choose?
-
Silk: chic, elegant, and fluid, easy to tie and offering a refined drape. Perfect for beach or poolside.
-
Cotton/silk blend: more textured, offering structure and a chic matte finish. Ideal for a more structured pareo with a natural feel.
Styling ideas for a pareo or skirt
-
Tied at the waist like a skirt: fold the scarf diagonally, cross the ends at the hips, and tie.
-
Tied at the side for a long pareo: wrap the 130 cm scarf around the hips and tie at the side for an airy drape.
-
Asymmetric skirt: wrap one corner around the waist, letting one end fall longer on the thigh for a fluid, modern effect.
-
Layered over a one-piece swimsuit: drape low over the hips and tie gently to show part of the swimsuit.
What to pair it with?
Combine with a bikini top, one-piece swimsuit, linen tank, crop top, bermuda shorts, high-waisted shorts, or a slit skirt. Add gold jewelry, flat or wedge sandals, and a straw bag. For evening, try it with a black bodysuit, structured bustier, or cotton voile blouse.
