I can wear a dress to work and nobody criticizes me. I’d be really sad if I had to wear pants all the time, they’re just not as comfortable. Let’s normalize pretty dresses for dudes!

I'm really interested in finding alternative ways to dress that aren't too "out there", in what way do you typically wear your sarong? What type of knot do you use? And what does your sarong look like?

You don't knot sarong, you wrap it around you and then fold the top edge down a couple of times. It's much more secure and comfortable that way. The sarongs I have are in more "manly" colours. Black/blue, brown/tan, dark purple/ochre - those have floral and tribal motifs. Then I have a couple that are brown with multicoloured lizards on them. Generally I wear them with short sleeved button up shirts. I've never ever gotten a negative comment or a weird look (not that I notice looks much). On contrary, I've had a few compliments and a couple of guys saying "I'd walk around in a sarong all the time but my wife won't let me."

Super cool, thanks for writing this up! I'm going to look out for a cool sarong then.

That lizard sarong sounds awesome!

It's even cooler than you imagine. The lizards are geckos about 40 cm long. I wish I knew how to insert a photo in reply.
