- Sri, whose family is from Sri Lanka, shares 2 ways to tie a sarong - Sri Lankan style!
The methods of draping a sarong vary by country. This video explains how to drape it the way men do in Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka, we call the sarong "sarama", which means "sheath" (women in Sri Lanka do not wear sarongs - they wear a seamless wrap called a "redda").
A real sarong always has a seam. It is different from the Indian "lungi" which is seamless like a redda or dhoti.
Sarongs are wonderful to wear while travelling in South Asia as it helps reduce pickpocketing and bug bites (including those pesky mosquitoes!). It also keeps you protected from the heat of the sun while allowing for amazing air circulation which keeps you cool. We loved wearing them while travelling around, and even use them around the house.
You can also wear the sarong as a pajama. You can even use it to carry laundry in by tying up the ends!
You do not have to use underwear if you are wearing the sarong as loungewear around the house, but men usually do when going out and for functions. Also, if you wear a t-shirt, wear it outside of the sarong (in the video, the t-shirt is tucked in only to show the folds of the sarong).
When wearing the sarong for a function, it is customary to wear a shirt with collar and sleeves.

Thank you for the upload. I loved both the ways of wearing it. I did buy and wore a sarong in Sri Lanka last year. Love the place, would want to visit again 🌸🌸
You are very welcome! We are glad you enjoyed the video. Sri Lanka is a beautiful island and the culture is amazing! We can't wait to return.
Just came back from Lanka. Bought 2 sarongs. This tutorial was spot on.
*This is quite interesting because this is exactly how it's worn in Somalia, even keeping the shirt un-tucked. Especially the second style that he mentions, that he saw in a fashion show, that's the older and more comment style here. While the first style that he shows is more common in Yemen.*
The only thing is, it's considered immodest for a man to walk around with shorts here.
Muhammad: Thank you for sharing this information with us!
Commonalities between cultures are fascinating!
@@cultureclasstravel6716 considering Somalis and Siri lankans have history between them, so its not wierd that we pick up something from eachother.
Today is the first time, I wear a (self made) sarong at home. Looks a bit weird here in germany but it feels very comfortable! A specially now with the upcoming heat wave!
🙂We are glad you are wearing your sarong! Yes, they're great when it's hot!🔥
I'm only a ¼ Sri Lankan and I've been trying to get more in touch with my culture - including wearing sarongs - and this video has helped me so much, thank you!
Great! I am just in Sri Lanka so your video is very useful for me. Thanks!👍
Dear YarmAn: You are so very welcome. We are glad you found our video useful!
I tie the second way... Then inside the knot I put a small plastic card, i.e. old telephone card or so... Then the tie is very strong...
What a great idea, Marcin! Thank you! 🙏
Thank you for the sartorial lesson. The dressy version is really sharp!
Very useful and straight to the point.
Very informative and insightful! Awesome video!
Thanks so much for this, I visited Sri Lanka two years ago and recently rediscovered my sarong. This video reminded me to how put it on and i realise how comfortable they are! 🙏🙏
Dear Seth Man: We're glad you've found your sarong and are inspired to wear it more often! 👍
Best Video ever! Love it
Genial video. Yo compré uno en Sri Lanka hace 5 años y todos los veranos lo uso para estar en casa. Lastima que aquí en España no se lleve por la calle, ya que es tremendamente cómodo. Un saludo
Thank you for your comment! It is wonderful hearing how many people love wearing the sarong wherever they are in the world!
That's really helpful, thanks
Wow nice and informative thank you bro. I just get idea about how to wear sarom nicely by seeing your video. Onece again thank you
Very informative. Thanks for the insights and the demonstrations on how to wear it.
You're very welcome! Glad you appreciate the sarong styles of Sri Lanka. 🙂🙏🇱🇰

Greetings from Paraguay
Mentita, We're glad you enjoyed the video!!! 😁

That is a great way to keep your things secure!
Very informative
Thank you!
Thank you..
Good explanation
Good stuff
Thank you very much
You're very welcome, Eileen! 🙏
Btw I like the pick pocket part, I noticed that alot.
You simply saved my day... #S&Tnewyearsarongissues
How wide should a sarong be in standard? Thank you for your video, very nice.
Ty man!
Hi! Amazing video!! I’m from Brazil and I’m a fashion student. My undergraduate final project is about clothes in Sri Lanka between 1920 and 1930. Can you help me? Sinhalese people use it different from Tamil people? That’s a special way to wear it in 1920’s? A butler that worked in a tea farm house would use it how? Thank you very much!
Do you wear a sarong? If so, do you use either of these methods to wear it?
Hey I actually tried the second one with a kaim batik from Indonesia. It looks good
*This is quite interesting because this is exactly how it's worn in Somalia, even keeping the shirt un-tucked. Especially the second style that he mentions, that he saw in a fashion show, that's the older and more comment style here. While the first style that he shows is more common in Yemen.*
The only thing is, it's considered immodest for a man to walk around with shorts here.
Also men quite often use a belt with it if they want to be sure that it's secure for the whole day without a worry.
While young boys gather it up between the front legs and then tuck it behind their back through their legs when playing sports making a sort of shorts out of it.
The twist knot that is common in India is not seen here and is considered improper (here) as it will cause creases and will lead to an ironing nightmare.
Hello there everyone!!! My dad REALLY wants one of these but he wants one exactly like the one in the video (connected in a loop, instead of just a long sheet of cloth). Is there a word to differentiate the different types of sarongs?
How much fabric to make a sarong?
Lovely
Thank you, Matthew!
I went to Sri Lanka to explore my heritage and I got a few sarongs but noone showed me how to actually put them on, so I just chucked them on like a towel out of the shower.
I wear everyday . Too bad cannot wear in the open
Jong: Wonderful that you wear it everyday! Be brave and wear it in the open! :-D The more people who see it, the more will want to wear it, also!
Lmao me literally in Sri Lanka right now seeing allll the men wear one.
hariharihari mokade karanneee sarong but now OK from Tokyo sutushi-
Dear Mr. Suzuki: Haha! Your Sinhala is really good! Great job!
Tutorial is a bit speeding 🥺
Do ladies wear sarongs???
Thank you! A friend of mne gave me the floral Indonesian style sarong but I never knew how to wear them so they don't fall off of me, LOL! You video was really helpful. You explained things in a way that was easy to understand and you didn't hurry! Thank you again!
Yeah ladies do too but the ones they wear are called "cheeththa" not sarong. The same thing tho only difference is the designs.
danser avec celui qui m'a choisie (where is he ?)
