This is how to sew a summer wrap-around pant! It’s really easy to sew, only straight stitching lines and an easy pattern.
You may know this wrap around skirts that girls wear in summer?
If you live somewhere in southern asia it’s no problem to wear them as a man, but here in central europe the people are not used to it and may give you strange looks.But this wrap around technique is really good and so I made me a manly wrap around pants. If you use the right fabric it’s even better than shorts! But you can of course make the the pants as long as you want, also short. ;-)
I used blue linen for mine. It’s cool and looks good and you don’t have to bother about orientation of the fabric.
I have a pair of pants like this from my trip to Indonesia a few years ago, and they are super comfortable for hot summer days or a trip to the beach where breezy coverups are a must.
