Wrap dresses are a woman’s staple wardrobe piece. They transcend seasons swiftly and with ease in various different silky versions and cotton mixes that come in bold eye-catching prints or plain block colours. Designer, Diane von Furstenberg made them her signature in the ‘70s and they continue to remain strong now. Just goes to show how classic and timeless they are.
