Here’s why wrapped dresses are the style heroes of your wardrobe

Meet your new wardrobe hero – the wrap dress! A sleeper hit from the ’70s, they’re back as the it-dress of 2019. Halfway through the year, we’ve seen the wrap dresses everywhere, from the runways to Instagram and celebrity appearances. As comfy as your silk robes, wrap dresses blend in with any mood or occasion, whether you’re on a dinner date or a boardroom meeting. Nothing says summery delight quite like a vibrant printed wrap dress. Flirty and poised all at once, these charmers also have a penchant to flatter every body shape. 

From retro to recent, this sophisticated silhouette from the ’70s has gotten dressier with modern times. With frothy details of frills and ruffles accenting the wrap, surplice neckline and imagined in a myriad of prints, the dress evokes chicness at first glance. For extra glam points, club your look with a strappy pair of sandals or boots for extra edge. Wrap style boasts of a sexy take on your demure sundresses, so you can sport it all year round! No matter what the weather is, here’s a high-on-style-and-comfort knight in shining armour for you to count on. Experiment with all kinds of length and prink up your frame with an illusion of an hourglass! As style mavens point out, the trend is certainly entering the winters too, so look forward to reinterpreting them in snug knits and jerseys. Whether your style is girlie-chic, executive-glam or oomphy-feminine, every wardrobe needs a wrap dress and even if you’re a minimalist, you can get so much wear out of them!

A subject encountered early in life can return years later carrying an entirely different meaning. Perhaps that is Read More
