The piece

How to choose and wear a wrap dress

A dress that crosses over the front and ties at the waist. It defines the waist on almost every build and packs well.

How to choose

  • Jersey drapes and travels; woven fabrics look crisper.
  • A wrap that stays closed when you sit and walk.
  • Solid colours or small prints.

Common mistakes

  • A neckline that gapes: a small safety pin or a camisole fixes it.
  • A thick belt on top of the tie.
  • Very bold jewellery competing with a print.

Care: Wash cold on delicate; hang to dry.

In a capsule: Works for office, dinner and travel: a capsule favourite.
