The sarong skirt trend is the talk of the summer 2026 fashion scene, making waves from beaches to city streets. The style hit the mainstream after debuting at Dries Van Noten's spring/summer 2026 menswear show in Paris. Vogue's Nicole Phelps noted, "Days after Julian Klausner’s Dries Van Noten men’s show in June, sarongs were trending in the Vogue offices."
Popular Sarong Picks
Vogue's favorite pareos include the Faithfull Soleil waist scarf, priced at $160, available here, and The Frankie Shop's Nelaya skirt, priced at $750, available here. Dries Van Noten's polka-dot twill scarf, a staple piece, is priced at $915, available here.
Styling Tips
For a city-ready look, layer sarongs over pants, a method endorsed by Dries Van Noten and Staud. Pair a printed sarong with a lace-trimmed cami and heeled sandals for an elevated style.
