Hi, my name is Carla Leenders, I'm a personal stylist at The Glass Slipper and I'm going to show you how to style your wardrobe. Hi, I'm going to show you how to wear wrap dresses. Wrap dresses are a great staple garment to keep in your wardrobe because they can be dressed up or dressed down.
I'm going to show you two ways to do that. If you want to dress your wrap dress down and wear it in the daytime, then it's best to get something in a bright colour that's in a really nice funky pattern. Something like this that can be worn every day.
In the summer, you can put something like this on just with a pair of flats like some ballet pumps and maybe use some wooden jewelry with it. A couple of wooden bangles or a really nice little pendant necklace is a really good way to add a few accessories to that. In terms of wearing it in the winter, you could put it on with a pair of brown knee high riding boots and some thick tights and then layer it up by putting a little tank in a coordinated colour underneath.
The tank won't only keep you warm, but it will also give you some extra coverage, as often people complain that wrap dresses come a little too low. If you want to wear your wrap dress in the evening, then you can really glam them up. Something like this black wrap dress is perfect.
Being that it's black, you can really dress it up. Put it on with some fishnet tights and a pair of really lovely high patent shoes and then put some dramatic jewelry with it. Something like this which really offsets the dress works perfectly with it.
Try to keep the colours all coordinated and don't put too much on top or anything too blingy. Again, if you want extra coverage, then pop a little cami in a coordinating colour underneath. Something like that when teamed with a necklace looks perfect.
Wrap dresses work on most figures but be careful if you're very hippy as they can make you look slightly bigger around the hips, and also if you're over busty, then make sure that you wear your layering top underneath. Wrap dresses work perfectly if you're tall and slim, any sort of wrap dresses work on your figure. If you're slightly bigger, hourglass or more pear-shaped, then go for something that has a higher waist so that it sits on your true waist.
Don't go for anything with a dropped waist, make sure it ties right to the side. When it comes to tying your wrap dress, always tie it across your body. Don't ever tie it on the top of your tummy as this can add extra bulk to your tummy and make you look bigger.
And that is how to wear a wrap dress. .
