Entertaining at Home the LOVI Way: The Menswear Edit

So, why sarongs at a house party?

Sarongs, and their pre-cursor, the reddha (draped unstitched fabric), have been around for millennia. They are the ultimate chill piece and LOVI sarongs are versatile for any type of house-party, from a proper at-home do for the uncles and aunties to a simple house party with your friends.

The beauty of LOVI’s products, sarongs or otherwise, is its unfailing quality and impeccable style. Unique fabrics, considered design and intricate detailing come together to make each LOVI piece a sound style investment.

Here are some of our favourites for every kind of house party. From formal to friends, you’ll never risk your reputation (or that of your parents) with these options.

LOVI RUGBY SARONG

Let’s start with the LOVI Rugby Sarong, a cool way to stand out when hanging with the boys. A more casual sarong with graphic stripes in contrasting colours, the Rugby Sarong is perfect for when you want to keep things playful and fun. Though named the Rugby Sarong, you don’t need to involve sport while wearing it. Its light, comfortable construction does mean that you can still join an impromptu match of cricket, rugby or whatever other sport catches your fancy.

The Rugby Sarong isn’t only for running with the boys though, pair it with the LOVI Yacht Long-Sleeve T-Shirt for a look of casual chic or go dressy with the Unity Tab Shirt.

LOVI CLASSICAL NAUTICAL SARONG

The LOVI Classic Nautical Sarong is one our top picks for those house parties that require you to be well-dressed, like a fancy Christmas party.

The Classic Nautical Sarong is not simply for the high-profile house party though.  Available in a range of colours and styles, it is a staple piece that you can dress up or down to suit any occasion.
