Pampita demonstrated how to wear the coordinated pareo with the swimsuit and previewed one of the the most versatile trends for the summer of 2027.
The pareo returns to a central place in the beach bag, but this season its possibilities are expanded. It no longer works only as a practical item to wear after leaving the sea: new looks wear it as a wrap skirt that can accompany a lunch, a walk along the shore, or a sunset gathering.
Pampita previewed this trend with a simple, high-impact formula. She chose a triangle bikini with animal print and paired it with a long pareo in the same print, tied at the side.
Pampita’s Look with Coordinated Bikini and Pareo
The swimsuit consists of a triangular top with metallic ring details in the center and a low-rise bottom. The animal-print pattern mixes brown, pink, and black tones, a palette that is echoed in the pareo.
The wrap piece falls to the ankles and features a low knot on one of the sides. That detail creates a natural drape and leaves an opening that adds movement. By repeating the same bikini design, the pareo is not seen as an isolated addition, but as part of a thoughtfully cohesive set.
The result preserves the relaxed vibe of a beach look, but adds enough presence to keep wearing it after the beach day ends.
The Pareo Steps Out of the Beach and Into Street Style
During the Northern Hemisphere summer of 2026, the pareo stopped being confined to the sand and appeared in urban looks. Street style benchmarks paired it with tank tops, t-shirts, oversized shirts, and even pants, while some runways incorporated it as a wrap skirt.
This transition explains its return: it is lightweight, takes up little space, and allows you to modify an outfit without a full change. It can accompany the swimsuit during the day and transform into the central piece of an after-beach look.
In addition to the classic knot at the hip, it can be worn as a midi skirt, wrapped asymmetrically, or layered over lightweight pants, one of the combinations seen in international street style.
How to Pair the Pareo This Summer
Pampita’s proposal starts from a total match: the bikini and pareo repeat exactly the same print. It is the most direct formula to build a cohesive set and turn the swimsuit into the base of the entire look.
Another option is to choose a pareo that only reuses one of the bikini colors. A solid swimsuit can be paired with a printed design that includes that same shade; if the bikini already features prints, a solid-colored pareo helps balance the ensemble.
Those who want to take it beyond the beach can add an open white or linen shirt, a neutral tank top, or a simple tee. Low sandals, a natural-fiber bag, and gold accessories complete the look without taking away the pareo’s protagonism.
The Tricks for Taking the Beach Pareo into Sunset
The way you knot it completely changes its appearance. A low, side knot, like the one Pampita chose, maintains its relaxed vibe. If it’s tied more tightly around the waist, it leans closer to the look of a skirt.
For a sunset meeting, it suffices to add a loose shirt, switch sandals for heels, and wear earrings or bracelets. In the city, the formula can be adapted with a tank top, ballet flats or kitten heels and a handbag with clean lines.
The key to its return lies precisely there: a single piece can cover, add color, transform the swimsuit, and accompany different moments of the day.
