How to tie a pareo fouta?

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the sun, the beach and the pool. If you're looking for a versatile accessory to accompany you on your summer adventures, look no further: the premium fouta BY FOUTAS is your best ally. Not only is it lightweight, soft and absorbent, it can also be used in a multitude of ways, including as a pareo. For this, we recommend using a classic fouta (1x2m), such as flat weave, fouta nid d'abeille, fouta herringbone or fouta mariniere.

Discover 5 ways to tie a fouta into a sarong, adding a touch of style and comfort to your sunny days.

1. Fouta pareo tied at the waist

The classic knotting technique is one of the simplest and most popular ways to wear a sarong fouta. Simply follow these steps:

• Fold the fouta in half lengthwise to form a long strip of fabric.
• Wrap the strip of fabric around your waist, so that it covers more or less of your swimsuit, as you wish.
• Tie the ends of the fouta at the front, side or back, as you prefer.
• Adjust the knot so that it's snug and comfortable.

Now you've got a fouta transformed into a superb sarong!

2. Fouta in pareo, wallet technique

This technique is a variation on the classic waist knot seen above.

• Fold the fouta in half lengthwise to form a long strip.
• Place one end of the fouta against your waist, then wrap the fouta around yourself, making a complete circle.
• Then slip the end of the fouta inside the fouta, against you. Tighten well to hold.

These two ways of tying your sarong fouta are perfect for a stroll by the sea or a relaxing break by the pool.

3. Strapless sarong fouta

It's a question of applying the two previous techniques, but without folding the fouta in half in step 1, and hanging it from the bust rather than the waist.

Tying your fouta into a strapless sarong in either of these two ways (with a knot or as a wrap) is very practical if you want to cover a larger part of your body. This will enable you to dress quickly when you get out of the water, while remaining elegant and comfortable.

4. Fouta in summer dress

For a more creative use of your fouta as a pareo, turn it into a summer dress.

• Hold the fouta behind your back, one end in each hand.
• Cross the ends in front of your chest, then tie a knot behind your neck.
• Adjust the fabric to cover your chest and body comfortably.

This style will enhance your tan while creating a bohemian chic look. Quick and easy to do, this method turns your fouta into a summer dress in just 30 seconds!

The fouta BY FOUTAS is much more than a simple beach towel. It can easily be transformed into a pareo, adding a touch of originality to your outfits. Whichever knotting technique you prefer, fouta lets you stay stylish and change your look at your convenience. Feel free to experiment with different ways of wearing it, and give free rein to your creativity!
