Guys, have you ever or would you consider ever wearing a sarong?

Sure. Why not?

‘Cuz sometimes, a sarong can be so right.

Yes, I own two.

My husband owns a kilt.

I think i’ll just skirt over this question.

Dhotis and lungis are dead butch.

Definitely the sarong look for this elephant!

I wouldn’t mind if my husband wore any of the above. I know a guy who wears kilts often (he’s a renn-faire regular), and he looks quite good in them.

Started wearing them while in camp while rafting, then around the house. The grandkids have grown up with me wearing them so they don’t even notice anymore. The older one used to give me a hard time at first but now, at 15, he just rolls his eyes. But to be fair, he does that at everything.
Nice things about them is they are comfortable, easy to make, easy to care for, and if it gets warmer, just roll them up a little higher.

There is something unbearably sexy about a man in kilt.

Are you talking about a sarong or a sarong?

The former, eh, whatever. The latter would bug me, because one shouldn’t make a practice of wearing traditional clothing of other cultures unless they find themselves in an appropriate situation.

For example, I’m not going to wear a sari for the hell of it. Maybe if I were attending a traditional Indian wedding.

@Seek_Kolinahr
The latter (slightly different style both in structure and method of wearing but basically the same). Also, as mentioned if it is warm, I can roll it up from long to kilt length. Technically, I could go higher but my wife has pretty well nixed that style.

And, why would it be different from the kilt in the appropriate/inappropriate arena?

I wouldn’t, but that’s just me. It’s not the look, per se – I think that if I am going to cover my legs with something, I would prefer trousers to something open and airy.

But to each his own.

@rojo My husband is of Scottish and Irish descent and has several tartans he is “allowed” to wear by traditional standards. ^_^

Of course. Very comfortable and practical. I often wear one while sailing. But onshore, I need pockets, so I usually wear cutoffs or lightweight cargo shorts. I once went ashore in one at Key West for a short errand to a small grocery near Mallory Pier. Big mistake. I’ll probably never do that again in the US. I really don’t like to attract attention to myself, positive or negative. But it doesn’t seem to attract any undue attention in most Caribbean islands. I think it’s because there is a large enough east Indian merchant class down here and also there is no end to the weirdness of American and European tourists. I think the native population is inured to their behaviour and nothing surprises them any more.

In Polynesia and other islands of the S. Pacific and at most of the Club Meds. men wear pareos, which look exactly like sarongs. If you sewed a pocket or two in yours, it would be a very handy cover-up that could be used also as a head scarf, tablecloth or hobo stick and bindle.

David Beckham famously wore a sarong once.
But I think it’s saWRONG.

I use the tube sarong. and you can use the rolled top to store things like wallets and keys. Sometimes a pocket would be nice however.

I dunno – it just somehow seems sa-rong.

The question is, would I ever consider taking it off.
