What is a pareo? Which one to choose?

Co to jest pareo? Jakie wybrać?

Sunbathing is one of the most pleasant activities during the holiday season. That is why, as the summer time approaches, you probably often wonder what you want to wear for tanning and swimming. Remember that besides a swimsuit, it is also worth choosing a pareo for the beach. See what makes this shawl special and what benefits you can gain from it. It is an excellent option not only for the beach. Therefore, it is good to have a pareo in your holiday suitcase that matches your expectations.

Pareo – what is it?

In Tahiti pareo is considered traditional clothing. It was from there that the inspiration to use such light fabrics to cover women's body parts on the beach came. Polynesian women mastered the skill of tying the pareo to perfection. Thanks to such a shawl, they protect themselves not only from too strong sun rays but also from insect bites. Of course, the pareo also serves a decorative role, as it is made from colorful fabrics with beautiful patterns. The pareo has gained incredible popularity almost worldwide as a perfect addition to a swimsuit.

How to wear a pareo?

The pareo is a shawl that most often takes the shape of a rectangle, square, or triangle. Therefore, much will depend on its final shape, for example, how it can be tied on the body. The pareo can be worn in many ways. Most often, it is tied around the body, thus creating a summer dress. You can also simply throw it over your shoulders, which will protect you from the sun’s rays but also cover your body from light gusts of wind. Pareo  can also be worn as a head covering, a summer top, or a skirt. Of course, there are many more creative ideas, so much will depend on your imagination.

Pareo – how to tie it?

There are three main types of tying the pareo that are considered the most traditional. These include the feuna pareo, the huahine pareo, and the moorea pareo. The first type of tying the pareo is creating a summer skirt from the pareo. The shawl is tied around the hips, and the loose end is usually tucked into the bottom of the swimsuit. The huahine pareo is a way of tying where the shawl is tied around the body, but the crossed ends are tied around the neck. If you decide on this type of tying, you will be able to achieve a summer outfit. It can be more fitted to the body or a bit looser. The last tying allows you to create a dress with bare shoulders.

Pareo – what else can it be?

If you wonder whether the pareo is limited only to a shawl from which you can make many ties, the answer is of course no. Because more and more often, the pareo is available as a ready-made cover-up that you can put on immediately. In this way, it takes the form of clothing with loose sleeves. The cover-up can be worn loosely or you can successfully tie it at the waist. You do not have to give up the traditional pareo in favor of the innovative cover-up and vice versa. After all, your holiday suitcase can contain both types of pareo, which you can wear interchangeably depending on the occasion.

In what circumstances to wear a pareo?

The pareo is an ideal solution that will most often accompany you on the beach. However, remember that this is not the only occasion when you can use the shawl or the mentioned cover-up. Increasingly, in holiday resorts, not only in Poland, it is common to walk freely in a swimsuit. Of course, you will look much better covered with a pareo. It is a very convenient solution because you will not have to change every time if you want to go from sunbathing to having coffee or lunch. Moreover, the pareo works perfectly on the beach, especially in the evenings or when the weather is a bit windy.

Where to buy a pareo?

Have you already decided on your own pareo that will accompany you on every holiday trip? It is good to think about where you can buy it so that you are satisfied with the high quality of the shawl. It is worth choosing a shop where you will find reputable products. Such a shop is, for example, bagatelle.sklep.pl. It is precisely in this place that you will find exceptional pareo proposals that keep up with current fashion. Moreover, new proposals appear all the time, which wonderfully diversify the collection of summer underwear and clothing.

What to pay attention to when choosing a pareo?

Although when choosing a pareo, you will certainly first pay attention to colors and patterns, do not forget that this is not the only element worth considering. Be sure to look at the material composition from which the pareo is made. This way, you will know what quality you are dealing with. Another issue worth examining is, of course, checking in what form the particular pareo is available. Is it a traditional shawl, or maybe a modern cover-up? Remember that you do not have to limit yourself to only one type of pareo. It is worth having several types in your suitcase that you can freely match to the outfit you plan.
