There are also geometric or abstract types of patterns that are traditional. These are often the same types of patterns used to adorn temples and palaces. Men’s sarongs tend to feature checks or plaids or they may be more solid in color.

The color will be very similar to the colors that are seen in Bali. Yellow, ocher, red, blue and green are traditional. They may be blended or presented more as blocks of color.

Sarongs have been the traditional clothes for the Balinese for centuries. This piece of cloth was used as every day wear, for both men and women, as they worked in the rice fields, or in the house. It was used to cover their bodies as they walked to the rivers to bathe. It was then used as a towel to dry them off after bathing. Sarongs were even used as thin blankets to cover them when they slept.

As it was, and still is to this day, such an important piece of clothing, many designs have been created to decorate this fabric. Traditional batik, tie dye and now machine printed designs have been used for this versatile piece of clothing.

what is tie dye?

The word tie dye refers to any dye process in which a pattern is produced by folding, twisting or tying the material. Originally, Indonesia adopted the Japanese form of tie dye, called Shibori, and created their own version, called pelangi or tritik. These early versions used natural dyes, and therefore only consisted of a few basic colors. The main colors used in tie dye sarongs were blues, whites and browns

Much later, in the 1960’s, the modern tie dye process was developed in America, and was introduced to Bali by the first travelers. These modern patterns use much brighter colors and many more color combinations. These bright colored tie dye patterns were particularly popular with the hippy community in California. These people traveled, and brought their fashions with them.

how are tie dye sarongs made?

Tie dye sarongs are made by taking a plain piece of fabric. This fabric is washed in very hot water, to get rid of any oil or dirt. It is then folded, twisted or crumpled in to a design of the artist’s choice. This process is such an art, that rarely will you be able to recreate the exact same result each time. Each piece will be unique.

Once twisted in to a design, the fabric is dipped, or sprayed with the different colors. Usually starting from the lightest colors and moving in to the darker ones. The fabric is then left to dry over night, before being washed and hung out to dry.

colors and patterns

Tie dye sarongs can come in any number of colors and patterns. The traditional patterns are spirals, peace signs and diamonds. The marble effect is also a popular look. However, this is by no means all that tie dye can be. The Balinese are such artists, they like to experiment, and new tie dye sarong designs are always appearing in the stores.

The most popular colors for these tie dye sarongs for men, tend to be the rasta colors, red, yellow, green and black, and this is a common look on the men hanging out at the beach. Tie dye for women can come in many colors, but pinks and blues are particular favorites.

how to wear tie dye sarongs

This style of Sarong can be worn in many different ways. Men tend to wear them wrapped around their lower body, and tied at the hips. Women can wear them as skirts, dresses, shawls or head scarves. However the tie dye sarong is worn, it looks great.

When worn as skirts, the sarong is simply wrapped around the lower body, and tied at the waist. As a dress, there are a few options. The sarong can be tied around the neck, as a halter dress, over the shoulder, or simply tied across the chest. All of these styles can be created with simple knots, or can be dressed up with sarong buckles. When paired with a stylish hat, and sunglasses, this is a fantastic look.

These days more and more Indonesians are adopting the Western style of dress, but the sarong still plays an important part.

Indonesian sarongs styles vary from island to island. In Sumatra you can find rich red and gold silk sarongs, whereas in Sumba, they specialize in woven ikat, which uses more brown and orange tones. Java is the center for batik and there are many different patterns and colors available.

indonesian sarongs for women

Women in Indonesia use sarongs for a variety of purposes. They can be worn as skirts around the house, or as temple wear, or even used as a sling to carry their babies. Every woman will have several sarongs in her wardrobe, to be used as needed.

Sarongs that are worn around the house tend to be made from simple batik designs, in the earth tones, so as not to show the dirt. These are made from cotton and are very cool to wear in the warm climate. They consist of one piece of cloth that is wrapped around the waist, and tied in a knot. It can be worn long or short.

When going to the temple or special occasions, women like to wear more ornate styles of Indonesian sarongs. Silks, chiffon and ikat are popular choices, and look very stylish when paired with a lacy kebaya shirt. Deep purples and reds, with golden patterns are often used for this purpose as these are typically royal colors.

indonesian sarongs for men

The most common style of Indonesian sarongs for men is the sheath, or tubular cloth. This is a tube of fabric that is very simple to wear. It requires simply stepping in, and rolling the fabric down until it sits securely on the hips. This style is most common in Java. In Bali the men tend to still use the flat sarong.

Men use sarongs to relax around the house, to go to the beach and also to the temple. When going to the temple, the men wear two sarongs. One regular sarong on the inside, and a shorter one, called “saput” on the outside. This double layer looks very smart, when paired with the white or cream colored temple jacket that men traditionally wear.

The colors of Indonesian sarongs for men are mostly browns and blacks, and use a plaid pattern. They are made from cotton, and are very easy to wear. Many westerners living in Bali have adopted this style of dress around the house as they find it to be so comfortable.

The most comfortable and versatile item you can have in your wardrobe is a batik sarong. This traditional clothing item which originates from many of the southern and eastern areas of Asia is loose and flowing while also flattering to wear.

Batik Sarong
Depending on the manufacturer or individual artisan the sarong may be made from various different fabrics. Common choices include 100% cotton or a cotton blend. Silk is another popular fabric selection. In addition some sarongs may also be made of synthetic fabrics such as rayon. All are designed to be wash and wear.

Sarongs can be made and found in a variety of different lengths and styles. The tube shape is traditional but wraparound sarongs are more popular for beachwear and for casual wear. The wraparound option is typically reserved for women, at least in Indonesia, while the tube style is worn by both men and women.

Sarongs with beautiful batik designs are now a hot item. Traditionally men only wore plaid or checked batik patterns and women wore more traditional batik colors with only a panel of pattern on the back side of the garment. Today many batik colors and patterns make sarongs made from batik a hit locally as well as internationally.

what is batik?

Batik is from Java, not traditionally from Bali. However, just like Balinese silversmiths have incorporated ideas from Java, so have the fabric designers. Batik is a repetitive pattern or design that is dyed into fabric. Historically this fabric has been 100% natural cotton, but now it includes other fabric choices as well.

In Bali, the patterns used in a sarong made from batik include geometric shapes, images from nature and abstract patterns. However, some of the new styles favor painting a single image on the fabric. This creates a masterpiece on the sarong that is a wearable work of art.

You can check out all of the different types of Sarongs we sell – Dress, Beach, Mens, Tie Dye, Batik etc. by clicking on our Sarongs Catalog link.

how is batik made?

Batik design uses the technique of waxing areas of the fabric. Where wax is present the dye will not take to the fabric. This means that many layers of dye are needed to create a multicolored sarong.

The artist will decide the pattern he or she will use and the colors. Starting with the lightest color first the fabric is dyed with this color. Hot, liquid wax is then used to create a pattern on the background. Then, once the wax has fully cooled, the entire fabric is dyed the next color. In a two-color sarong this will be the final dye process.

After leaving the fabric in the dye for the desired time it is removed and boiled. This will remove the wax, revealing the first color and creating the pattern. Multiple colors will only be exposed once the final boiling of the cloth is completed.

wearing the batik sarong

A batik sarong is a work of art. With the vibrant colors and designs you can mix and match to create a new look each time you wear the batik sarong. They are an ideal addition to your summer wardrobe and are perfect as a beach cover-up.

The Balinese people have amazing artisan talents. Put these qualities together, and you get a wide range of materials and styles of buckles.

Coconut wood is the most common material used for a sarong buckle. It polishes up beautifully to create a very stylish accessory. Mother of pearl shells of all colors, as well as abalone are either used as one piece, or inlaid in resin, creating a very appealing look. Resin comes in a range of colors, and makes a great background for pieces of shell to be placed in to, and arranged in a pattern.

shapes and sizes

The sarong buckle essentially needs to have 2 holes to allow the fabric to pass through and be tied. Other than this, the shape and size really depends on the artist creating it. There are simple square shaped ones, round, and oval. But there are also more creative shapes, such as flowers, butterflies and hearts.

The sizes vary from modestly small, to statement pieces that are much larger. Which one you choose depends on the look you are trying to create. You can purchase a whole range of shapes and sizes to mix and match with your sarong wardrobe.

how to create a skirt

In order to wear a sarong as a skirt, using the buckle, wrap the fabric around your waist, positioning the two ends the way you like. Put the ends on either your right or left hip. Insert the two ends of the sarong through the holes of the buckle. The buckle has two holes, one for each end of the sarong. Pull the fabric until the buckle sits against your hip. Pull the 2 ends and create a knot.

Once in position, experiment with the knot to create the look that you desire. Using this method not only creates a more finished look, but also helps to tie the skirt tight. This tightness reduces the chance of the skirt coming undone.

how to create a dress

There are several dress styles that can be created using the sarong buckle. To make the strapless look, wrap the sarong around your back, and bring the ends together in front. Take the two ends, making sure they are even, and thread them through the holes. Pull the buckle towards your chest, and make a knot with the fabric.

To make a halter neck, bring the two ends of the fabric behind your neck, and attach the sarong buckle in the same way. To make the off the shoulder Roman look, take the two ends over one shoulder, thread through the buckle and tie a knot.

Bali Sarong
Bali Sarong

Most people think of sarongs as being typically used by women. In Bali this is not true. Sarongs are used by both men and women. The style of the sarong men differs slightly to the women’s version, but is still just as popular.

Where in the western culture a sarong may look like a skirt, and therefore appear too feminine, in Bali men have a very different view. The sarong men has been part of traditional clothing for centuries. It is used as a comfortable way of relaxing around the house, as well as an integral part of the Hindu Temple dress code.

styles of sarong men

The most common style of sarong men in Indonesia is the sheath. This is a tube of fabric that is very simple to wear. It requires simply stepping in, and rolling the fabric down until it sits securely on the hips. This style is most common in Java. In Bali the men tend to still use the flat sarong.

Men use sarongs to lounge around the house, to go the beach and also to the temple. When going to the temple, the men wear two sarongs. One regular sarong on the inside, and a shorter one, called “saput” on the outside. This double layer looks very smart, when paired with the white or cream colored temple jacket that men traditionally wear.

bali beltspatterns and colors

As in women’s sarongs, there are many different patterns and colors available for sarongs for men. The patterns tend to be more geometric than floral, to give a more masculine look. The colors are also different. Sarongs for men tend to use more sedate, earth toned colors, rather than the bright tones.

In general, the batik designs are used for the temple sarongs, and are mostly brown in color. More ornate and colorful ikat sarongs are used for important religious ceremonies like weddings, and tooth filing. These are usually very regal, with gold threads running through them. Other styles of cotton sarong are used for relaxing at home or on the beach. The tie-dye style of sarong men, using rasta colors are particularly popular with the young men on the beach

how to wear sarong men

The Balinese have a particular way of wearing their sarongs, that look particularly interesting with folds of fabric hanging at the front. To achieve this look, start by holding the sarong horizontally behind your body. Make sure there is more length on the right side than the left. Fold the left side over to the center of your stomach. Bring the right end round to meet the left in the center, and hold with your right hand. Fold the excess fabric back over your hand to form a pleat. Secure by rolling the waistband over about 3 times, or until it feels tight enough to not fall down.

For a narrower wrap, and a fuller pleat, fold over the hand more, before rolling down. The finished look will have a fold of fabric at the front. This is a suave look, as well as allowing plenty of room for movement. With this extra fabric at the front, walking is easy, as well as sitting down, so there is no need for tiny steps like the women.

When you walk the streets of Bali, or go to the beach, you cannot help but notice the amount of shops selling cotton sarongs. This piece of cloth is the most useful thing to own while you are in Bali. It can be worn to the beach, used as a towel, and even dressed up to wear out in the evening.

The reason for the abundance of sarongs in Bali is due to its long history in the region. This simple garment used to be the only clothing the Balinese people wore. If you venture out in to the villages, you will still see many people wearing them to this day. The older Balinese women still use the old style of wearing a sarong on the bottom half of their bodies, while leaving their chests bare.

advantages of cotton sarongs

Sarongs come in a variety of fabrics, from 100% cotton, cotton blend, and rayon. The most popular fabric though is cotton, being a natural fiber, it is hypoallergenic. This means that it is suitable for people with allergies, asthma, and sensitive skin. The fabric feels soft against the skin, and keeps you feeling cool. You are less likely to perspire when wearing cotton.

This wonderful fabric is durable, withstanding many washes. It also absorbs moisture, so is perfect to take to the beach, in place of a bulky towel. Cotton sarongs are very lightweight, so easily fold up small, to be put in to your bag. They can be used to lie on the beach, tied around your waist as a skirt, or worn as a dress.

sarong patterns and colors

As far as patterns and colors are concerned, the choice is literally endless. You could have a cotton sarong to match every bathing suit you own. There are flowered patterns, solid colors, tie dye, batik. Whatever you can think of, it is available.

The methods for creating these patterns also vary. There are ones that are mass produced using machines, but there are also ones that are created by hand using time honored ancient techniques. These are made using natural dyes, and are very time consuming to create. These beautiful works of art, can be styled in to a stunning evening dress. Or some people use them as wall hangings, to decorate and bring color to any room.

traditional sarong motifs

Traditionally, the Balinese used to wear batik cotton sarongs. The process of making these patterns involved drawing the pattern using wax, and then dying the fabric. The dyes used were natural dyes, and only 3 colors were used. Brown, indigo and white. These three colors represented the three main Hindu Gods and so had great religious significance. The patterns consisted of repeated lines or shapes.

The simple batik sarongs are usually worn around the house. The more ornate batik styles are used to wear to the temple or for special ceremonies. These can be in all sorts of colors, and tend to be the more regal colors such as purple, yellow, and red. Women wear these with lacy kebaya tops and accessorize with gold jewelry.

modern sarong motifs

The modern motifs used to decorate cotton sarongs are mostly based around the theme of nature. Animals, sea-life and flowers are all common designs that are used. The most popular animal design is the gecko. This is a small lizard that can be found everywhere in Bali. They mostly can be seen on the wall, ready to protect us from mosquitoes.

As well as geckos, you can also find sarongs printed with butterflies, birds, fish and frogs. The colors used for the modern style of cotton sarongs are much more vibrant. Just about any color and color combination is available.
