Why A Black Sarong Is The Best Blend Of Style And Functionality
We all know the sarong
The product of Eastern and Asian cultures throughout the world and enthusiastically adopted by the Western world as the must-have accessory with a swimsuit. The Sarong is so simple, yet so elegant. Most people whenever they think about a sarong dress or sarong skirt will have visions of multi colours and bright patterns. This is because traditionally the sarong was a summer garment worn as a simple cloth. However there is certainly another way to use the sarong: in a single solid colour and the best solid colour is black.
Why A Black Sarong?
Apart from the numerous strengths of this king of colours, the timeless quality, the slimming appearance, the go-with-anything combination, it works particularly well with a sarong. Used as a black sarong with the right density or translucency the sarong does not stand out by itself but instead draws the eye to two things.
The first is the overall shape of the figure, this may be just the curves of the hips and round of the bottom or it might be the overall hour glass from the bust through waist to the hips and down to the legs with a sarong skirt.
The second part with a black sarong is to give you the perfect balance between showing what is under the sarong and not showing what is there. This balance depends on how the black sarong is tied and how see-through the material is. Quality sarong brands will provide a choice of fabulous material in a translucency to suit the occasion. If you are going to the beach then the cover up need only be a hint, just enough to hide a blemish or two but still show the female form and garments underneath. If the sarong is worn out, say to lunch then a more modest approach with greater cover-up will create more mystique and formality. The black sarong can perfectly highlight the female figure by hinting at what is underneath whether your wearing a swimsuit or lingerie.
Sarong styles
The prices for sarongs can vary as much as the quality and styles. A black sarong can be purchased for as little as a few dollars online or they could cost many hundreds in the most beautiful silks. The rules for buying a sarong are no different to any fashion garment, spend a little but more to get a higher quality fabric which will last longer and look better. Particularly if you choose the classic black sarong the design and feel of the material becomes paramount, any flaws or hints of cheapness are not covered by any pattern or bright colour. Finding the right size is easy, generally one size will fit all because it can wrap around as much or as little as required and no one can tell. There is no other garment as versatile or flattering as a black sarong.
The black sarong is more than just beach accessory its a timeless black dress. The black sarong is perfect for covering up the bottom yet still allowing the form and shape of a stylish bikini bottom to show through but banishing any marks, dimples or issues a woman may consider not her strongest asset. A black sarong adds a new dimension to your appearance by adding mystique and intrigue as sarong focuses on the overall shape not individual parts. The secret to a desirable look is subtlety and hinting at what is not shown, revealing all leaves no work for the imagination and the imagination is generally much better at what it sees than the real thing.
