How to Wear a Wrap Skirt

How to Wear a Wrap Skirt



If you want an easy-to-wear, feminine look, try a wrap skirt. This is a simple, but comfortable, look that can carry you through all four seasons in style.







Things You'll Need:





Wrap skirt



Mirror



Silk T-shirt



Blouse



Tights



Flip flops



Boots



Sandals



Halter top



High heels









Step
1



Buy wrap skirts in a variety of fabrics. Skirts made of matte jerseys, silks, denims and thin wool crepes can carry you through most of the year, while heavier wools, fine cottons and linens have their place seasonally.




Step
2



Check the fit of the skirt in a three-way mirror to be sure it sits in all the right places. You want the side seams to fall on the side of your hips, not in front or in back of them. Keep in mind that even though some wraps skirts are adjustable, you still need the body of the skirt to be in your size for the most flattering drape.




Step
3



Wear a wrap skirt in a casual fabric for day with a silk T-shirt. You can add tights and flats on colder days or go bare legged with flip flops when it's warm out. This is a great alternative to jeans and shorts that will still be comfortable but will look more polished.




Step
4



Capture a preppy, yet chic, style in a cozy wool wrap skirt with a ribbed turtleneck or fitted blouse and cable tights. Wear fur-lined boots and tie a cashmere scarf around your neck, or opt for some chunky gold necklaces.




Step
5



Dress up a silk wrap skirt with a halter top and beaded sandals for a formal event. This is a sexy look that is easy to achieve.




Step
6



Choose tailored tops in thin fabrics that will lie smoothly when tucked into a wrap skirt so you don't add extra bulk, since the skirt itself will have enough volume on its own.




Step
7



Pair a structured blazer with a flowing wrap skirt to help balance out the shape and make you look more polished and toned.




Step
8



Add leggings beneath a wrap skirt if you plan to be running around a lot, as this will help keep you covered even if the skirt opens a little in the front. Or, opt for a wrap

skirt that has shorts built in underneath. This a perfect choice for tennis, golf and other outdoor sports.







Tips & Warnings









Select wrap skirts that fall in soft folds in the front if you want to conceal a slight tummy.








Try asymmetric wrap skirts for an unexpected touch.








Beware of the wind when you wear a wrap skirt outdoors. Consider discretely pinning the front of a wrap skirt to keep it from opening unexpectedly. This can help you avoid a potentially embarrassing situation.
