Sarong for Men and Women

Sarong's are large tube or length of fabric often wrapped around the waist and as a kilt by men and skirt by women. There are various types of sarongs for different occasions. Sarongs can range from the formal to the casual. Usually men wear it at home or religious ceremonies and women similarly. Similar variations of the sarong exist outside South East Asia ranging from the Middle East to the Pacific islands. In Cambodia for traditional dance women sometimes wear a 'sampot' which is similar to the sarong. In Kerala India they are called 'Mundu' and in Sri Lanka 'Redda' and in Pacific Islands a 'Pareo'. Although the look can vary greatly according to geographic location the principle remains the same throughout.
