This Summer Dress Trend Is Perfect For Every Body Type

by Laura Lajiness Kaupke

As the weather warms, your breeziest dresses see more and more wear, thus making it paramount to have a slew of fresh styles on standby. A fail-safe silhouette for all occasions? The versatile wrap dress. The latest versions come sweet and romantic—think French girl picnicking in a lavender field—featuring puffed sleeves, frilled hems and charming tie details. Our favorites are rendered in a range of floral prints from micro to tropical, swirly paisley and splashy polka dot, animal and stripe motifs.

This garden-fresh take on the wrap dress is not only just right for summer, but it’s flattering for every woman, regardless of size, body shape or age. Reach for a voluminous three-quarter or long sleeve if you’re shy to show your arms, minis and hi-low hems to reveal a great set of legs and midis and maxis for those wanting more coverage on the bottom. For the ultimate fashion-girl effect, wear yours over a pair of slim jeans—the look is going nowhere.

Ahead, scroll through our edit of summer-perfect wrap dresses, available at every price point.
