Changing body shape? try a wrap dress or top!

The wrap dress and top: wardrobe staples that flatter most body shapes offer versatility if you are struggling to style a changing body shape.

But with so many options and ways to wear them, it can feel overwhelming.

Fear not, our styling tips are here to guide you!

The Wrap Dress: elevate your look

• Classic Chic: The little black wrap dress is a timeless treasure. Pair it with pointy pumps for work, or strappy sandals for a night out. Elevate the look with a statement necklace or a blazer for a polished finish.
• Formal Flair: Maxi wrap dresses in luxurious fabrics like silk or satin can be showstoppers for formal events. Choose a sleek clutch and statement earrings to complete the glamorous look.
• Winter Warmth: Wrap dresses come in cozy knits and heavier fabrics too! Thicker knits with tights and boots are ideal for colder months. Add a chunky scarf and belt to cinch the waist for a stylish and warm look.
• Light and Breezy: Floral wrap dresses in light, flowy fabrics are perfect for warmer days. Dress them down with sandals and a straw bag for a relaxed vibe. Channel your inner boho goddess with wedges and layered necklaces.

Wrap Dress Styling Tips

• The Perfect Fit: Wrap dresses are adjustable, so play with the tie to flatter your figure. A higher tie creates a cinched waist, while a looser tie allows for a more relaxed silhouette.
• Underneath It All: Depending on the neckline and fabric of your wrap dress, you might want to consider a cami or bodysuit underneath. A nude option will disappear seamlessly, while a contrasting color can add a playful peek-a-boo detail.
• Accessorise with Intention: Belts can enhance your wrap dress’s versatility. A thin belt emphasises the waist, while a wider belt creates a more structured look. Statement jewelry can add personality, while a scarf worn around the neck or tied to the belt adds a touch of whimsy.

Wrap It Up Top: A Versatile Addition to Your Wardrobe

The wrap top is a layering hero that can be dressed up or down. Here’s how to make it work for you:

• Casual Cool: Pair a wrap top with your favorite jeans or a denim skirt for a relaxed yet stylish look. Tuck it in for a more defined waist or leave it loose for a carefree vibe.
• Office Chic: A wrap top in a crisp fabric like cotton or silk can be perfect for work. Tuck it into a tailored skirt or pants for a polished look. A blazer on top will create a sophisticated look.
• Dress fo the occassion: Dress up a wrap top with a statement skirt or high-waisted pants. Opt for a silk or satin top for a touch of luxe. Add a statement necklace and heels for a romantic evening ensemble.
• Layering Genius: Wrap tops are fantastic for layering. Wear one over a tank top or under a sweater for added dimension and style.

Wrap Top Styling Tips:

• Play with Proportions: Wrap tops come in various lengths, from cropped to long and flowy. Choose a length that complements your body type and the overall outfit.
• Neckline Options: Wrap tops come in different necklines, from V-necks to halternecks. Choose a neckline that flatters your face shape and personal preference.
• Mind the Material: The fabric of your wrap top plays a big role in how it looks and feels. Silk and satin offer a luxurious drape, while cotton and linen are perfect for casual wear.

If your size or body shape is changing, a wrap dress and top are versatile options that can help you regain your confidence. So, wrap yourself in style and embrace the versatility these wardrobe essentials offer!
