Pareos are an indispensable piece for your summer wardrobe. Most women love this statement cover-up.
There is a great variety in sizes, designs, colours and fabrics in the market.
You can wear it from morning till night as a skirt, a dress, a salvar or a shawl.
All you have to do is choose the right size for every purpose.
There are plenty of ideas on the web on how you can transform a pareo into a draped dress, a maxi dress, a skirt etc.
What is essential and should not be forgotten is the practical side of it. It takes almost no space in your suitcase and can be versatile.
It is the absolute holiday piece.
So why do we adore it in the city too?
It is a hot summer day and you are looking for an outfit that will keep you cool. Use a monochromatic, cotton pareo with fringes.
If you decide to wear it as a skirt you can wear it with a sleeveless, cotton blouse or one with short sleeves or an one-sleeve blouse.
A pair of sandals, a straw hat and a bag to match and you are now ready for a walk in the city.
Alternatively you can replace the skirt and the blouse with a pareo worn as a dress or as a salvar.
You want a chic and elegant outfit for your evening apero or you night out. Choose among colourful silk or satin pareos and wear them as you wish.
If you prefer a pareo skirt, wear it with a white shirt tied in front.
Silk blouses and silk headscarfs are a true match.
Choose mules or sandals and hold a clutch bag to complete the look.
Never forget your jewels which accentuate tanned skin.
See below my favourite pareo. A classic which has been part of my wardrobe for some years now and remains timeless. I have worn it on the beach, in the island or the city and I always change the way I wear it accordingly.
One piece, many outfits.
That’s why we all love pareos!!
