Women’s sarongs
Choose among the different models of women’s sarongs, the perfect one to combine with your bikinis and swimsuits this summer.
The women’s sarong is so much more than a simple beach accessory. It’s that versatile piece that allows you to transform your look in seconds, cover up with style, and move freely between the pool, the boardwalk, or the beach bar. At Roidal, we design women’s sarongs that blend Mediterranean elegance, comfort, and the highest-quality fabrics.
What is a sarong and why is it a summer essential?
A women’s sarong is a lightweight piece of fabric, usually rectangular or square, that can be tied around the body in various ways. Its function goes beyond covering your swimsuit — it’s a style statement, a form of self-expression, and a practical solution for sunny days.
Wear it as a skirt, dress, shawl, or top, and instantly elevate your beach look with a single piece.
Types of sarongs for women: choose the one that suits you best
Long sarong
Perfect for those looking for a streamlined silhouette and full coverage. Ideal for evening walks on the beach or enjoying a seaside meal without needing to change.
Short sarong
Light, playful, and ideal for hotter days. A great choice if you prefer something casual and easy to pair with your favorite bikini.
Dress-style or skirt sarongs
Some women’s sarong models are pre-shaped or include straps, making them easier to wear as a skirt or dress. They’re practical, flattering, and quick to put on.
How to tie a sarong in a flattering and elegant way
- Halter dress or bandeau style: Simply cross the upper corners of the sarong behind your neck or over your chest to create a fresh, feminine dress effect.
- Wrap skirt or hip-tied sarong: Wrap it around your waist and tie a knot on the side. This style is ideal for beach walks or enjoying a drink on the terrace while showing off your swimsuit.
- Alternative uses for your sarong: from scarf to beach towel. Did you know? A sarong can also be worn as a headwrap, shawl, hair accessory, or even as a quick towel to sit on. One piece, endless possibilities.
What to consider when choosing your ideal sarong
- Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable fabrics: The best women’s sarongs are made from viscose, cotton, silk, or ultra-light polyester. These fabrics dry quickly, pack easily, and feel pleasant on the skin — even when wet.
- Prints and colors to enhance your beach look: From floral patterns and geometric designs to solid shades, a sarong is the perfect opportunity to add a splash of color or sophistication to your beachwear.
- Pairing with Roidal swimsuits and bikinis: Each women’s sarong in our Roidal collection is designed to pair effortlessly with our swimwear. Create harmonious, vibrant, and stylish ensembles with ease.
Frequently asked questions about sarongs
How do you wear a women's sarong?
A sarong can be tied at the waist as a wrap skirt over your swimsuit, knotted on the hip for a relaxed look, draped across the bust as a strapless dress or simply thrown over the shoulders like a light shawl. Its versatility makes it one of the most useful pieces in any resort wardrobe.
What should I wear with a sarong skirt?
A sarong skirt pairs beautifully with the matching bikini top or swimsuit, but it also works with a fitted vest, a soft camisole or a fine knit for cooler evenings. Add flat leather sandals or wedges, gold accessories and a straw bag to take the look from the beach into a seaside dinner.
Which fabric makes the best sarong?
Lightweight, fluid fabrics drape most elegantly and dry quickly after a swim. A soft, breathable finish ensures comfort against sunkissed skin, while refined prints and considered colour palettes elevate the piece. Look for generous proportions so you can experiment with different ways of tying and styling it.
How do I care for my sarong to keep it looking beautiful?
Rinse with cool fresh water after a day on the beach to remove salt, sand and sun cream. Hand wash with a mild detergent, avoid wringing, and dry flat in the shade to protect the colours. A quick press with a cool iron will restore its smooth, refined drape ready for your next outing.
