With Klausner leading the charge, other summer-in-the-city sarongs we love include those from Matteau, Joseph, and even Khaite. The latter looks especially good layered atop a pair of printed drawstring pants and finished with a simple butter yellow tee and raffia bag. Pareos from Loewe and Faithfull the Brand are also perfect for poolside-to-pavement dressing–no swimsuit required.
Still intimidated? A sarong layer over pants, à la Dries or Staud, is probably your easiest entry point, as chances are you’ll be able to recreate the look with pieces already in your wardrobe, plus it’s a more practical approach for late-spring’s in-between temperatures. But when summer officially hits, why not try a printed one with a lace-trimmed cami, heeled sandal, and shell-embellished necklace for your chicest cocktail hour look yet.

Take a styling cue from Vogue’s resident maximalist Naomi Elizée and layer your printed pareo over a pair of simple black trousers and a breezy striped button-up. Inject the look with color and playfulness via Dragon Diffusion’s woven handbag in cherry red, then complement it with Ancient Greek Sandals’s two-toned flip-flops and Lizzie Fortunato’s pendant cord necklace.
