But don't worry if you are still on the fence about which one to purchase. The next section includes some expert tips to help you choose the best wrap dress that matches your aesthetic.

By now, you would have realized that a wrap dress is a must-have closet essential. Like your little black dress, wrap-around dresses are among those easy-to-style clothing pieces that can be worn on various occasions. Plus, they look good in both summer and winter! You just need to know how to make them look season-appropriate.

We can sense that you are already imagining yourself in a beautiful wrap dress. Hence, without beating around the bush, let's see how you can choose the best wrap dress for your style.

Material 

When analyzing the material, go for a lighter cotton or polyester fabric for the day and a thicker velvety or sheath fabric for the evening. For instance, a stiff material midi bodycon wrap dress will be perfect for a formal event. A high-slit maxi featuring chiffon, georgette, or polyester fabric will be ideal for a vacation. And if you are heading to the mall or a casual outing, a rayon-based fabric will keep you cool and comfortable. It is about the silhouette the wrap dress creates on you and whether that translates to a relaxed or a more put-together aesthetic.

Fit 

The traditional wrap dress features a flare with soft fabric that falls gracefully below the waist. It is designed with a v-neckline, and the overall fit is comfortable and loose. Many versions of the same exist now. As we saw, some wrap dresses had a longer maxi length, some had a bodycon fit, and some were faux wrap dresses. Pick a wrap dress that compliments your figure.

Our contributor Farnam Elyasof, shares a tip on picking the right wrap dress based on body type, saying, “If you have an apple-shaped body type, go for a wrap dress that has a moderately low-cut, v-shaped neckline to create the illusion of a long torso. On the other hand, if your body is pear-shaped, the best wrap dress for you would be one with a flared bottom half so as to equalize your proportions. Lastly, wrap dresses that cinch at the waist are more suitable for those with hourglass figures, as this design dramatically accentuates the curves.”

Occasion

We have probably iterated this a hundred times now that wrap dresses are timeless and versatile. With a little styling tweak, you can use one wrap dress over and over again to suit different occasions. However, some events call for specific types of fabrics and fit. A cocktail or business dinner will require you to adorn elegant fabrics and prints (solids are the best in this case!) For weddings, you can choose a satin or shimmery fabric or go for floral prints. For a day out, mini easy-to-wear cotton wrap dresses or t-shirt-style wrap dresses are perfect. 

Wrap dresses are available in a variety of styles. There are solids and prints. Within prints, there are florals, abstracts, polka dots, etc. We saw ruffle detailing in many mini and midi-wrap dresses. Whether your style is more elegant and feminine or chic and bohemian, you will find the best wrap dress that matches your vibe. Ultimately, it is the ease and fit that makes it a top-of-the-shelf product and a favorite among all age groups. When making a purchase, an important thing you should check is whether you are comfortable in it or are thinking about the various tucks and safety pin solutions to secure it. Once you feel like a better version of yourself when you stand in front of the mirror adorning it, that's when you know you've found your perfect wrap dress.
