The Oxford English Dictionary defines wrap dress as “a dress that is made so that one side of the front crosses over the other and is fastened at the side or tied at the back.” We define it as “the one piece of clothing that seriously looks great on everyone.”
It’s true: the wrap dress has some sort of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-level magic that allows it to work on any and all body types. And while we think that every body is beautiful exactly the way it is, there’s no denying that most of us have features we like to accentuate (like a small waist or curvy hips) and features we prefer to downplay (for me, that would be my arms and my tummy). The wrap dress does all of the above.
How? Glad you asked.
The slightly-plunging neckline of a traditional wrap dress makes the neck look long and slim (not to mention, it gives cleavage a nice little boost!); while the tie-waist functionality carves out a defined waist, and the fit-and-flare silhouette gently glides over the hips and stomach to create an hourglass shape. The wrap-style fit is also adjustable—in other words, you don’t have to worry about fitting into your wrap after a burger and fries the way you do with your “skinny jeans” from high school.
Besides the flattering fit, the style has another major benefit: it’s an all-in-one outfit that’s as sophisticated as it is simple. On those mornings when you’ve overslept, are running late to drop the kids off at school, or just can’t find a clean blouse to wear with your jeans (guilty), the wrap dress is a throw-on-and-go outfit you can count on.
