As a Kimono

• Why It Works: Covers shoulders, arms, and chest, areas most prone to sunburn. Breathable, light, and easy to slip on or off.
• How-To: Hold by the short sides, tie a knot at each end to create armholes, and slip your arms through. For a shorter kimono, fold the sarong in half before tying.
• Where to Wear: Beach cover-up, after a swim, outdoor sports, picnics, errands, or travel.
• Securing Tips: Add a slim belt, knot the bottom corners, or layer under fitted clothing for extra hold.

 As a Shawl

• Why It Works: No knots needed, just drape over your shoulders for instant sun protection or warmth.
• How-To: Lay over your shoulders, drape over one arm, or wrap around your arms. Add a brooch or pin for special occasions.
• Where to Wear: Beach, pool, outdoor weddings, garden parties, travel, festivals, or as an evening wrap.
• Styling Tips: Pair with dresses, swimwear, or jeans; accessorise with hats, sunglasses, or statement jewellery.

As Arm-Covering Summer Sleeves

• Why It Works: Instantly adds coverage to your arms and shoulders, areas most exposed to the sun, while keeping you cool and comfortable. Perfect for turning a sleeveless or strappy dress into a sun-safe, elegant look.
• How-To: Hold the sarong horizontally behind your back. Slide the top edge under the armholes of your dress so it covers both arms from behind. Wrap the ends forward around your arms, then tie a small knot just below each wrist to create soft, flowing sleeves.
• Where to Wear: Ideal for running outdoors, adding sun protection to strappy dresses, or updating your look for day or evening events.
• Styling Tips: Adjust the wrist knots for a relaxed or more secure fit. No sewing or pins needed, just drape and tie.

As a Dress or a Skirt

• Halter-Neck Dress: Hold behind you, bring top corners under arms, cross over chest, and tie behind neck. Add a belt for shape.
• Halter-Drape Long Top: Same as above but let the body fall open like a vest.
• Short Skirt: Hold behind you, tie a knot at the hip.
• Draped Halter Dress: Hold in front, tie ends behind neck, wrap around back and tie at waist.
• Front-Tie Dress: Hold horizontally behind back, bring ends forward, cross over bust, and tie in the Centre.
• Classic Side-Tie Skirt: Hold lengthwise, wrap around the waist, and tie at one hip.

Multi-Use Hero

• Other Uses: Towel, picnic blanket, sunshade, or makeshift blanket for travel.

Accessories to Transform Your Look

• Belts and Sashes: Cinch at the waist for shape.
• Jewellery: Statement earrings, necklaces, or bangles for a touch of glamour.
• Bags: Mini cross-body for day, clutch for evening.
• Hats and Sunglasses: Extra sun protection and style.
• Footwear: Sandals, slides, or trainers to suit the occasion.
• Brooches and Pins: Secure fabric and add a personal touch.
