Sarong Wrap

Designers proved that sarongs have evolved from simple beach cover-ups to versatile fashion pieces, often styling them as asymmetrical skirts or paired with matching swimwear for a cohesive look. This trend reflects a broader movement towards coordinated swim sets and versatile cover-ups that can double as casual wear.
