When I consider the pieces I love most in this world, especially during the summer, a wrap dress is the very first item that comes to mind. Made famous over 40 years ago (thank you DVF), this consistently flattering frock is classic, versatile, comfortable and only getting better with age. This curve complimenting, neck-lengthening, waist-trimming garment is known to be the universally flattering dress everyone should own, and bound to be hanging in most women’s closets all over the world. If you’re reading this and saying to yourself, “I don’t own a wrap dress,” well, today I’m here to change that.
Thinking about the season and starting to put together looks for my trip next week, the first place my mind goes to is what I’ll be packing in my suitcase, and you want to know which piece always goes into my bag right away? A wrap dress. With cool textures, fun prints, and varied hemlines, I would consider the wrap dress to be the main event in my wardrobes long lineup. As the summer winds down, you start to think about easy and seasonally appropriate looks that you can wear while you milk this summer for all that’s left (The season isn’t over till we say it is, am I right?) A wrap is exactly what you need. They’re a quick fix to the common question of “I don’t know what to wear this time of year,” and can easily transition from day to night. I found this Lost + Wander lemon print dress for my trip last month to Florida, and wore for an evening out.
