How to make a jacket from a pareo. How to tie and wear a beach pareo: various ways

A serious debate broke out in our editorial office about whether this thing, a pareo, is a good thing. I believe that you should not ignore this piece of fabric, but just learn how to wear it. The advantages of a pareo over other things that can replace it (dress, tunic, towel) are undeniable.

A flowing fluttering translucent pareo turns a girl walking along the beach into a nymph who has emerged from the sea foam, the waves echo her steps, the wind blows her hair, and the sun flirts with her, reflecting and sparkling in the lenses of her glasses. Such a picture, you see, cannot leave either men hungry for female beauty or women on the beach indifferent.

1. Learning to choose a pareo

Surely many of you will say that finding a beautiful pareo is extremely difficult. I agree. This is true. In addition, buying one of these can cost a pretty penny. So I would suggest doing something smarter. We go to a fabric store and buy a piece of 1.5 * 1.5 m, you can take more, taking into account the fact that natural fabric, of course, will shrink a little after the first wash. Choose two or three fabric options that suit your appearance and

Let one piece be plain, the second - brightly printed, the third - heavier, white with fringe - it will come in handy on cool evenings. Finish the edges with an overlocker and voila! You have three wonderful pareos for your vacation. When you return, you can sew them into something else or save them for next year.

2. Sew a pareo-tunic

If you are a needlewoman or you just have a sewing machine, then you can sew an improved pareo-tunic from a piece of fabric. There are a lot of patterns on the Internet. Most often it is enough to simply make a slit in a square piece of fabric for the head and sew a little of the sides to make sleeves. See for yourself.

3. Sew on the straps

The easiest and most interesting way to transform a pareo and make it really comfortable is to sew straps, ties or a belt to it. Let's see how this can be done.

4. Tie knots

There are two or three well-known techniques for tying a pareo. It doesn't look very good this way...

Here are some examples of how the right knots can turn a pareo into a stylish outfit.

5. We use a pareo as a stylish accessory: a bag or a headband

Don't limit yourself to the familiar. Make a hat, a bag out of a pareo, throw it on a sunbed... Try it. For inspiration, I will give a few successful, in my opinion, examples.

Remember the important rules:

• Avoid cheap synthetic fabrics with frankly vulgar prints.
• Prefer noble tones to bright ones: turquoise, white, rich green, red-pink suit almost everyone.
• Consider height. If your legs are not the longest on the beach, then tie a pareo like a long skirt. By “cutting off” your shoulders and legs from the knee, you visually shorten yourself very much.

A beach cape is a universal thing. It replaces the main clothing on the coast, can act as a hat and even as a real dress for a summer party. To implement all these methods, you need to know how to tie a pareo.

Pareo as a dress

The easiest way to tie a pareo is to throw it over your shoulders, cross the ends behind your neck and tie it on your chest. This method will help protect sensitive skin from exposure to sunlight and give you a “closed-in” look for a walk along the embankment for ice cream.

If the sarong is from 1 meter to two meters long, then it will make a wonderful strapless summer sundress. To do this, you need to wrap a cape around your body under your arms and tie its corners together. The knot can be placed both in front and on the side, creating fashionable asymmetry.

You can make a lovely beach dress by draping the pareo over yourself from behind and twisting the ends together on your chest. Then tie them in a knot behind the neck. To create a more original look, the ends can be twisted into strands or intertwined like a simple braid.

But all these methods are only suitable for walking near the coastal zone; you are unlikely to walk around the city with your body only partially covered. For those who want to make a stylish dress from a pareo, the buckle method is suitable.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Throw the pareo over yourself from behind and highlight two opposite corners;
2. These corners need to be passed through a ring or buckle on the chest. A special clip for scarves or stoles (triple, Susan, infinity and others) is also suitable;
3. Bring the loose ends through the ring and wrap around your neck. After tying the knot, hide it under your hair or tuck it under the loop formed at your neck.

If you don't want to show off your shoulders, tie a sarong as a Bahamas dress. This is an asymmetrical one-shoulder outfit that requires nothing more than a pareo and a manual to create. Wrap the cape around your body just above your chest. At the same time, the tip at the shoulder, which will be closed, must be left on top. Wrap the pareo again around your chest and tie both ends at your shoulder. To prevent the knot from being visible, hide it under the fabric.

The Assol sarong is tied in a very similar way. Only here it is important to use a cape at least 2.5 meters in length, otherwise it will look ugly. To begin, you need to wrap yourself in a scarf and cross the edges on the side on the left side. Now one end stretches forward, and throw the other over your back to the side towards your right shoulder. Tie a knot on the right shoulder and straighten its edges.

The balbao tie style is a great alternative to a cocktail dress. It uses two scarves in a contrasting color. You can also experiment with printed and monochrome accessories. The first scarf is tied at the back of the head - do not twist it in any way, but simply drape it over the front and tie it with a simple knot around the neck. The second is tied just above the chest, covering the knot of the first.

If your swimsuit is too revealing and you urgently need to walk along the beach, then the best way to avoid sidelong glances is to whip up a dress from a sarong. Depending on the size of the scarf and its fabric, completely different options are possible. One of the easiest ways to beautifully tie a pareo for the beach is double weaving. You need to take two scarves and fold them into triangles. Of these, two central corners stand out, which are tied together - this will be the front knot. The upper corners will become a neck loop - naturally, for this they are also tied, but at the back of the head. The remaining loose ends are tied at the back. The resulting design will protect the body from the sun, but thanks to its open type it will prevent heat stroke.

Pareo skirt

A sarong skirt is one of the most popular options for using this accessory. Firstly, it suits absolutely all girls: plump ones can hide certain areas of the body, and thin ones beautifully highlight the curves. Secondly, this method is incredibly simple.

To tie a pareo with a skirt, you just need to throw a wide scarf over your hips and tie it with a double knot on the side or front - depending on your personal preferences and body shape. On wide hips, an asymmetrical knot will look more advantageous, while on narrow hips, a straight cut in the center will look more advantageous. This kilt is even suitable for going to the bathhouse or sauna.

If this option seems boring to you, then twist the loose ends of the scarf. Then the ovary will form a beautiful strand that will highlight the waist and make the hip line more prominent. This method is not suitable for overweight ladies, as it will make the lower body too “heavy” and voluminous.

Every woman will suit a cute chiffon pareo skirt. At the same time, it is made even easier than a regular loincloth. First, the scarf is draped over the legs in front and tied at the lower back. Afterwards, the free part of the sarong under the legs is thrown over the back, and its ends are tied on the stomach. It is important to hide the knots under the fabric, otherwise others will guess the nature of the origin of your outfit.

For risky young ladies with a chiseled figure, a short pareo skirt with a train is ideal. To make it, you need to fold the sarong in half and pull it over your hips. The free ends are brought back or to the side - then the cable will be on a certain side. They are connected with a simple knot. In this method, the pareo will fit the lower part of the body very tightly, but will add romance to the image due to the developing “tail”.

Do you think that you can only wear a pareo skirt on the beach? Not at all! Patterns with two scarves are suitable even for walking around the city. You just need to tie two scarves on your hips in the opposite direction (one knot will be on the right and the other on the left).

The look looks especially cool with sarongs in contrasting shades and gladiator sandals.

Below are different ways to tie this wonderful accessory.

Pareo shorts and overalls

From a sarong you can make not only a skirt or dress, but also a jumpsuit with ties. A good option for summer walks is Tuamotu. This is a kind of variation on the theme of retro swimsuits. To “build” such an outfit, you need to wrap the pareo with the long side around your waist. After this, tie the upper ends of the scarf in the abdominal area. The remaining lower ends are passed between the legs and tied on the back above the chest with a double knot.

A similar jumpsuit can also be made using a ring with a hole. To properly tidy up the fabric, it is important to tie the scarf behind the neck in front, then pass the loose ends through the fasteners. After this, the fabric is scrolled along its axis and tied between the legs behind the back.

Instructions and pictures on how to tie a pareo with shorts:

If you wear a light top or a comfortable T-shirt, you will get a very romantic and comfortable everyday look. You can complement it with a beautiful hat with wide brims.

Pareo headdress

You can escape the heat and scorching sun by tying a pareo on your head. Both a large scarf and a narrow ball are suitable for this. Step by step, a sarong bandana looks like this: you need to wrap the pareo around your head, and then twist the ends on your forehead. If the scarf is very wide, then you first need to fold it in two or three times. The knot can be tied either in front or at the back of the head.

It’s even easier to tie the sarong with a peasant scarf, as in the photo. To do this, the pareo is folded into a triangle. The head is covered with the cloth, after which the ends are tied into a knot at the back of the head. You can tie it above your forehead, then it is better to tuck the loose ends under the fabric, otherwise they will fall on your eyes and cause discomfort.

A wide bandage made from a small scarf will help cover the parietal lobe. A square-shaped hip pareo is perfect for this.

It needs to be folded into a rectangle and placed on the back of the head. The fabric is wrapped around the head in front, after which the free ends are tied into a strong knot (best of all - a single one).

Methods for tying a pareo for the beach include simple tricks that any girl can master without much difficulty. It is impossible to imagine a summer look without a beautifully tied pareo - some wear it as a sundress dress, while others make it into a kind of skirt, and there are even those who manage to create a stunning top from this piece. Do you also want to know all the intricacies of this unusual art? Then you have come to the right place, we will tell you how beautifully, fashionably and correctly to tie and wear this trendy item this summer. How to tie a beautiful pareo for the beach and going out into the city - you can see in the photos and videos on this page.

How to tie a pareo beautifully - methods with photos

Before learning how to tie a pareo, we advise you to decide on a suitable material, because this largely determines how your combination will look and what intricate little things you can make from it. How to tie a pareo beautifully - the methods will be shown with photos:

A bright scarf with an unusual pattern or print, made of chiffon, thin silk or cotton. There are a lot of wearing options now. Therefore, the pareo is no longer limited to the scope of an accessory, but is present in the beach wardrobe of fashionistas as an equal member of a beach suit. The sizes of the scarf vary: the longer the material, the more wardrobe items it can reproduce.

Also, when choosing a style and element of clothing, you should take into account the proportions of your figure in order to look chic on the beach in any outfit: someone wants to hide their hips, someone wants to visually look taller, while others want to emphasize certain charms of their figure.

How to tie a pareo - you can watch the video

As we have already said, there are many ways to tie a pareo. We want to start with large scarves, with which you can create unusual beach sundresses with a bright and interesting pattern. Open shoulders will add a special charm to your summer look. In the video at the end of this article you can see how to tie a pareo beautifully, but for now, another portion of photos:

The easiest way to tie it is to wrap it around yourself and tie it in a tight corner at chest level. In such an outfit there is no shame in walking from the hotel to the beach, and the most daring fashionistas can even wear it for a walk around the city on a hot summer day. Just be careful - you are unlikely to be able to avoid attentive male gazes. For the beach, pair this charming sundress with a straw bag, a wide-brimmed hat (so your face doesn’t burn) and flip-flops or other shoes that are comfortable for you.

For a walk in the city, you can wear fashionable gladiators with lots of ties, a bright handbag with a long strap and your favorite glasses.

But there is also a more modest option with a loop around the neck - a similar pareo sundress holds up much better than the first option, and also covers the neck (albeit a little) and visually lengthens the figure, thanks to the triangle formed near the neck. In order to acquire such a miracle in your wardrobe, you only need to cross the upper ends of the pareo on your chest and tie the wide ends at the back of your neck. Or you can roll them into flagella and also tie them around your neck. It’s not a shame to wear such an outfit to a cool beach party, just don’t forget to choose the right accessories: flat sandals with comfortable Velcro and bows on the sides, bright plastic and wooden jewelry. The look will be completed with a small plastic clutch, which can easily fit a minimum of cosmetics and a phone.

If your choice is a huge pareo, for example 110*240, you can create a dress that will look no different from what can be found in almost any store. Due to the large area, you will only have to work a little more with the material. Wrap the fabric around your chest so that you can cross the sleeves to the left under your armpit. After this, one end is pulled forward and the other to the shoulder on the right side along the back. The edges are tied on the right shoulder in the form of a bow or several complex knots. If you don’t understand something, we recommend that you refer to the pictures below or watch videos that explain the entire system step by step.

You will have no equal in such self-made beauty anywhere, I assure you - many will not even understand that this is just a large scarf. Pair with stylish gold sandals to create the perfect look for an evening out.

How to tie a pareo beautifully - look at the photo

A small pareo can make a wonderful skirt for a beach outing. You just need to imagine a little. The easiest and fastest way to tie a pareo beautifully is to wrap a scarf around your waist and tuck the upper end tightly into the already formed skirt. If you are afraid for the safety of this item of clothing, then you can add a colorful brooch of an unusual shape (by the way, we recommend trying this idea for the pareo sundresses they created). We usually tie a scarf this way when we only need to walk a short distance to the beach - there and back. And in this outfit you can often find the indigenous inhabitants of hot countries who live near spacious beach areas. Usually in this version they leave one of the legs open - they get a skirt with a slit of their own making. Very sexy and interesting option for a summer wardrobe. Let's see the result in the photo:

You can make a shorter skirt - you just need to fold the scarf in such a way as to create the length you need. And then we also wrap it over the hips and tie both ends into a knot (on the side or in the middle - as you wish). Probably the most beach option of all, so it should have appropriate accessories: a straw hat and a small beach bag, flip-flops or other comfortable beach shoes.

If you want to stand out among the crowd of the same type of skirts made from large scarves, create it from two at once, preferably contrasting with each other. Stylists are very fond of bright colors this summer, so we suggest choosing blue and orange, preferably with patterns. Otherwise, everything is very simple - tie the first scarf at the waist on one side, and wrap the second one in the same way, but on the other side.

In the photo below you can find out how to create a stretch skirt from the same scarf:

Ways to tie a pareo for the summer season

Methods for simply tying a pareo for the summer season also include less exotic options. The last, but no less rarely used option is a top, which can be easily obtained from even a small size pareo. A scarf size 90*220 is best suited for this: it is thrown over the shoulders and the ends are crossed over the chest so that they completely cover it. The ends are tied behind the back. Or you can make it a little more complicated: the scarf is folded in the same way, only it is placed on the collarbones, and the ends are brought together behind the back and then transferred back to the chest.

If you urgently need to find a top for an elegant evening skirt, then the following method of tying a pareo for the summer will serve as a real salvation for you. Choose a scarf measuring 140 by 140 and fold it in half in the shape of a triangle, wrapping it around your chest so that the fold is on top. The side ends are placed back under the armpits, then crossed on the back. Then the ends are directed forward again, passed under the armpits and the ends are twisted into plaits, which are then secured to the neck.

• two pareos of contrasting shades will make an excellent beach option if the first scarf is placed on the left side so that its middle is under the armpit and tied on the right shoulder. Do the same thing with the second scarf, only on the other side.

• Using two contrasting fabrics and a scarf pattern, you can create an elegant evening look for sleepless summer nights. A pareo with a pattern is tied and the resulting collar is put on the neck with a knot at the back, and a plain scarf is pulled behind the back, then brought under the arms and tied at a beautiful angle at chest level.

• Or you can learn from the traditional method, which is used by almost all residents of faraway Polynesia. They hold one of the upper corners at chest level, and wrap the second under the armpits so that the other corner is behind the left shoulder. After this, the ends are tied on the shoulder.
