The sarong<\/a> is a summer essential. Choose the right one, and it will instantly transform your beach look. <\/p>\n\n A poorly chosen sarong \u2014 made of fabric that\u2019s too thick, too small in size, or with a garish print \u2014 can detract from even the most beautiful figure. Conversely, a well-chosen sarong will flatter your figure, complement your swimsuit, and take you from the beach to the terrace. <\/p>\n\n This beachwear isn\u2019t just a simple square of fabric: it\u2019s a versatile piece that flatters your figure depending on how you tie it, the fabric you choose and the colours you wear. Understanding these factors ensures you\u2019ll look chic and put-together all summer long, without any unnecessary effort.

For a tall or slender figure, a sarong measuring 160 to 180 cm offers a long drape which shows off the legs and creates a a19> look of a flowing very elegant dress. <\/p>\n\n For a smaller frame, a medium-sized scarf measuring around 140 to 150 cm will be easier to wear: it prevents the fabric from overwhelming your figure and allows for a neat knot without any bulky excess material. The ideal length is one that allows you to tie it comfortably without having to constantly adjust your outfit. <\/p>\n\n The width directly affects how smoothly the fabric drapes. A sarong that is too narrow cannot be tied properly into a dress or skirt: it gets caught, creases, and loses all its elegance. Choose a width of at least 100 to 110 cm to ensure you have enough fabric. <\/p>\n\n The more roomy the garment is, the more the fabric falls naturally over the hips hips and creates that characteristic flow of stylish sarongs. A loose-fitting sarong, such as those offered by Bohosoleil, guarantees that comfort when worn and offers a wide range of a28>style options without restrictions. If you like styles that are flexible and easy to tie, a sarong made of cotton<\/a> could be an excellent choice. <\/p>\n\n Lightweight cotton is a safe bet: it\u2019s breathable, feels lovely against the skin, dries quickly after a swim and holds up well in the sun. Its natural look makes it perfect for everyday wear on holiday. It isn\u2019t the most flowing of fabrics, but it remains one of the most practical and reliable in terms of comfort. <\/p>\n\n Be careful, however, with thick cotton, which lacks flexibility and makes it difficult to keep the knots looking neat throughout the day. Designs made from handcrafted Indian cotton sarongs<\/a> strike just the right balance between naturalness, lightness and style. <\/p>\n\n Viscose is undoubtedly the most flattering fabric for a stylish sarong. It drapes naturally, is light and almost airy. It hugs the figure without clinging and creates that soft, flowing movement characteristic of elegant summer outfits. <\/p>\n\n Viscose-cotton blends offer the best of both worlds: the drape of viscose and the durability of cotton. This type of fabric is ideal if you\u2019re looking for a sarong that stays looking good even after repeated wear and washes, without losing its shape or its lustre. \ud83c\udf0a<\/p>\n\n Heavyweight polyester should be avoided. It lacks drape, clings to the skin in warm weather and fades quickly when exposed to light. Low-quality synthetic fabrics have an unattractive sheen and do not breathe. <\/p>\n\n Also, be wary of fabrics that are too delicate and crease irreparably as soon as you take them out of the bag: a creased sarong, even if it\u2019s a lovely colour, will immediately spoil your look at the seaside.<\/p>\n\n Solid colours remain the best choice for a chic and timeless look. Navy, ecru, off-white off-white, terracotta, green sage: these colours go easily with any swimsuit from the collection a19> and do not create any visual clash. <\/p>\n\n A plain sarong also allows you to play around more with accessories \u2014 a straw hat, a raffia bag, gold jewellery \u2014 without overloading the outfit. It\u2019s often the quickest way to achieve a harmonious and elegant look on the beach. <\/p>\n\n Prints aren\u2019t incompatible with chic style, provided you stick to elegant patterns. This season, botanical patterns<\/strong>, tie-dye in soft shades and subtle graphics feature heavily in summer fashion trends. <\/p>\n\n A sarong with a handcrafted or chic ethnic print, such as those in the Bohosoleil range, adds a touch of character without being over the top. The rule is simple: a subtle print on a plain swimsuit, or a printed swimsuit with a plain sarong. If you like this style, the bohemian sarong<\/a> or designs inspired by Indian block print<\/a> are particularly well-suited. <\/p>\n\n Overly busy patterns, garish colours or densely repeated prints make the silhouette look heavy. Overly prominent logos, slogans and \u2018beach souvenir\u2019 prints belong to a casual style that is a far cry from the chic look you\u2019re aiming for. <\/p>\n\n De m\u00eame, les contrastes violents entre le par\u00e9o et le maillot de bain cr\u00e9ent un effet d\u00e9cousu peu flatteur. La coh\u00e9rence des couleurs et des styles est ce qui fait la diff\u00e9rence entre une tenue r\u00e9ussie et un look approximatif. <\/p>\n\n This is the ultimate in elegant classics. Place the sarong around your back, bring both ends round to the front at chest level and tie them securely. The fabric then falls naturally into a long or mid-length dress. <\/p>\n\n To prevent the bow from slipping, choose a fabric with a slight grip \u2014 slightly textured viscose or fine cotton work well. A bow placed in the centre or slightly off to one side adds a more sophisticated touch to the outfit. <\/p>\n\n Tied at the waist or hips, the sarong becomes a flowing skirt that elegantly covers the lower body when worn over a swimsuit or a bandeau top. Wrap the fabric around your waist, cross it at the front and tie it at the side for a chic draped look. <\/p>\n\n This style is particularly flattering for those with curvy hips: the fabric drapes loosely, elongating the silhouette and creating a natural, feminine sway with every step. You can also take inspiration from our 7 ways to wear a sarong<\/a> to mix up your looks. <\/p>\n\n For a bolder yet still chic look, drape the sarong diagonally across your body, bring one end over your shoulder and tie it at the back or under your arm. This asymmetrical style is reminiscent of light evening dresses and works particularly well with a large, flowing sarong. <\/p>\n\n It\u2019s the perfect way to transition effortlessly from the beach to lunch on a terrace, without changing your outfit. A women\u2019s cotton scarf<\/a> in your hair or a few gold accessories are the perfect finishing touches to this summery look. \u2728 <\/p>\n\n This summer\u2019s trendy sarong is part of the \u2018resort wear\u2019 trend: pieces designed to be worn both on the beach and in town, featuring meticulous finishes and high-quality fabrics. Designs with botanical prints and natural shades such as caramel, sand and almond green dominate the fashion collections. <\/p>\n\n Reversible sarongs are growing in popularity: one piece, two looks \u2013 ideal for travelling light on holiday. Styles with fringes or delicate embroidery add a handcrafted touch that fits with the boho-chic trend championed by many independent beachwear brands. This spirit is also evident in the worlds of holiday fashion<\/a> and beachwear<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n Some styles detract from the look, no matter how carefully they are tied. Shiny polyester sarongs that are too short to be worn as a proper skirt or dress, or those featuring logo prints or fluorescent colours, are far from chic. A chic sarong is, above all, made from decent-quality fabric, features a subtle colour or pattern, and is large enough to offer a variety of ways to wear it. <\/p>\n\n When it comes to high-quality sarongs, specialist beachwear shops and independent designers are often a better option than high-street retailers. You\u2019ll find better-quality fabrics and more intricate designs there. <\/p>\n\n When shopping online, look for websites that specify the exact measurements and fabric composition, and provide photos of the garment being worn. Brands such as Bohosoleil allow you to buy a sarong with this clear information, reducing the risk of unpleasant surprises upon delivery. For example, you can browse the collection of Bohosoleil sarongs<\/a> to compare sizes and prints. <\/p>\n\n How do you choose a sarong that suits your body shape?<\/strong> Adjust the length to your height and the width to your hips. A loose-fitting, long sarong flatters most body types by creating a natural draped effect. <\/p>\n\n Which fabric is best for a sarong on holiday?<\/strong> Viscose and viscose-cotton blends are the most pleasant to wear: they drape beautifully, are lightweight and comfortable, even in hot weather. If you prefer a more natural look, a cotton sarong<\/a> is still a very good option. <\/p>\n\n
