In recent years, the “Maxi” scarf has appeared. It is, for all matters and purposes, an over-sized scarf. Since there is no industry standard on what is considered a standard-sized scarf, it is very hard to determine what exactly is considered “over-sized”. The term sarong–also spelled sarung– is sometimes used, though it should be noted that a sarong is traditionally worn around the waist as a skirt, and in Western countries sometimes as a “dress” over bathing suits. It is usually a minimum of 25 inches by 65 inches (64 cm by 165 cm) or bigger.
