I used to  be anti- wrap dresses. I didn’t like the way they made me look hip-y and I felt like I was constantly adjusting to make sure my cleavage wasn’t hanging out or I wasn’t accidentally flashing too much leg or something else. But lately I’ve been a convert thanks to brands like Ganni, Tanya Taylor, Rhode Resort, who are making longer versions that are far more flattering and easier to wear. I have invested in a few recently in different prints and they’ve gotten me through pretty much every event I’ve had, from work to weddings and showers to cocktails and even Fashion Week, making them well worth the investment. When it comes to wrap dresses, I’m finding that floral prints are my jam — they feel a bit more versatile and are easier to really dress up or really dress down IMO.
Plus, florals make a pretty backdrop to contrast with different pieces to get more out of your wrap dress. A leather jacket toughens it up, a boyfriend blazer adds a tomboy, corporate feel, an oversized sweater lends a cozy vibe, and serious heels and killer earrings make it cocktail ready. I’m such a big believer in this closet staple, that, today, I’m showing you how to style a floral wrap dress five ways.
