Sarong style…Wrap,twist and enjoy

Novia McDonald-Whyte | Editor - Lifestyle & Social Content 

Call it a sarong, a pareo, a body wrap, Boubou Wrap, lava-lava, Manou and or sari at the end of a long, hot day it’s a wonderful wrap. A females best friend when packing for a vacation or looking for that perfect swimsuit cover up or maternity wrap. Tying instructions include making the knot to the front, side or create a skirt again with the knot to the front or back. A sarong can also create the perfect backdrop, a cover up for a sofa, a bedspread or spread a picnic atop a beautiful patterned one. Fact is this is a must for summer.

Choose a silk sarong for those elegant evening affairs and top it with a silk bustier. Add another layer of silk in the form of a long shirt. Not only will this make dressing at night oh so cooler and elegant but there’ll be no need to ever worry about what to wear.

Just wrap, twist and enjoy. Dryclean your silk wraps at a reputable establishment. If you do handwash however, avoid harsh detergents as well as the powerful rays of the sun.

Cotton wraps are like new bedsheets or a handkerchief, they’ll soften after each wrap. These are great for daywear, beachwear, everywear.

Enjoy your wraps this season and every season.

Purchase wraps in bold colours great for evening pizzaz. Soild colours such as white, blue, pink will be easy to match.
