It’s a Wrap (or at least it looks like one)!

by amylage

I have always loved skirts in the summer, especially in maxi lengths.  The wrap skirt – this season’s hottest trend in skirts, is making me want to wear one each and every day!  Whether it be mini, midi, or maxi – the ruffle effect and along with the dip of the front hem, makes the wrap skirt decidedly feminine without even trying.  Whether you are wearing it casually with a graphic tee or with a tank of off the shoulder top out for a night on the town – you will look like a million bucks without trying (and without breaking the bank!).

The True Wraps

Whether your style is more utilitarian or girly – there is a wrap skirt for you.  Simply Add your favorite basic tank or tee to any of these lovelies and you will be sure to turn heads.

  1.  Olive Flounce Wrap – Shein $20.  100% cotton and looks amazing, but I can not speak to its quality – the price is so good it makes me wonder! Worth a try as it is a great silhouette in a fabuouls color that transitions easily to Fall.
  2. Denim Maxi Wrap – Level 99 (at anthro)  $98.  This one is timeless in the denim chambray and it will also transition right into Fall with your favorite boots.
  3. Navy Stripe Midi Wrap – Gap currently $26 with code “deal” and what a deal!  I love all things nautical and this fits the bill.  Toss on a white tank and your favorite gold or navy flips for day or even your favorite chucks or camel sandals for night.  Add a denim jacket if it gets chilly.  It doesn’t get much easier.
  4. I am also smitten (by way of the web) with this Striped Blue and White Wrap Ruffle Skirt from Shein – $25.  I just ordered – so i will report back.
  5. Finally – my favorite wrap skirt ever.  In crisp cotton poplin (see pic above) and the most amazing blue – the Ruffle Wrap Skirt from JCrew – on sale for $79.99.  They had sold out and a few sizes just popped back up.  So run if you want this lovely!

The Pretenders

Love the look of a wrap skirt, but don’t enjoy actually wrapping?  These skirts give you the look, yet have their own closure to make wearing them a snap.  And just like the real thing – the addition of a simple tank or tee makes the look complete.
