How do you wear a lunghi?
A lunghi is a traditional men's wrap-around, it is different from a dhoti, because of the length and fabric design. The lunghi is shorter, more colorful and easier to wear than a dhoti. Open the 4x3 retangular fabric and bring it up behind you -- think of a bath towel. Cross the left and right edges tight around your waist. Do Not Tuck -- instead, the ends are rolled under and downward. This locks the garmet. The lunghi is versitile. On warm days the bottom edges are hiked up and tucked into the waist, exposing the legs below the knees. In the evening it may be worn full length. In rural India the lunghi is standard issue.
