Wrap Dresses
Nothing fits quite like a wrap dress And that’s the point
Tied at the waist, shaped by your body — wrap dresses aren’t just about looking good, they’re about feeling like yourself, on your terms. Whether it’s a weekend brunch, a desk-to-dinner moment, or a last-minute event, a wrap dress is one of the easiest ways to look ready without overthinking it.
The Anatomy of a Great Wrap Dress
It starts at the waist
A true wrap dress hugs and defines, with just enough adjustability to move with you. Rihoas wrap silhouettes feature angled ties, inner buttons, or invisible closures for structure that feels secure.
Then comes the fabric
-
Satin wrap dresses glide and drape, ideal for dinner, date nights, or evening light
-
Linen wrap dresses bring structure and breathability — perfect for hot days and travel
-
Cotton and jersey wrap styles make everyday wear a little more intentional
-
Velvet or chiffon wrap cuts add movement and texture for seasonal dressing
Length and line
Mini for summer, midi for ease, maxi for impact. Add a slit, a puff sleeve, or a low neckline depending on how much drama (or comfort) you want to bring.
Where a Wrap Dress Works
For Work
A v-neck midi in matte fabric with 3/4 sleeves or a collar detail transitions easily from meetings to dinner. Add a tote and low heels, and you’re set.
For Summer
Choose a flutter-sleeve linen wrap or a soft floral print with open back — breathable, flirty, and packed in your suitcase before you even think twice.
For Events
Slip into a satin or sequin wrap dress in champagne or black — flattering on the waist, easy on the dance floor. For weddings, go floral midi or silk maxi with soft accessories.
For Home
Yes, even here. Wrap dresses in ribbed knit or jersey can be thrown on with zero styling effort. They hold shape, feel good, and still look dressed.

A wrap dress is one decision. A hundred ways to wear it.

FAQ
Q1: What’s the difference between a true wrap dress and a faux wrap dress?
A true wrap ties at the waist and fully opens. A faux wrap mimics the look but is usually stitched or attached at the sides.
Q2: Is a wrap dress flattering for all body types?
Yes — it defines the waist without constricting. Look for adjustable ties, slight stretch, and the right neckline for your shape.
Q3: Can I wear a wrap dress to work?
Definitely. Choose longer hems, structured fabrics, and necklines that stay put. Add loafers or low heels.
Q4: What’s the best wrap dress fabric for summer?
Linen and cotton blends are ideal — they’re breathable, hold shape, and keep you cool.
Q5: Are wrap dresses formal enough for events?
Yes — satin or velvet styles, especially in midi or maxi lengths, work perfectly for weddings, cocktails, or celebrations.
