Casual wrap dresses came into vogue in the 70s with the filing of Diana von Furstenberg, who was a newcomer fashion designer at that time. Up to these days they are closely associated with her brand. A few years ago wrap design became popular again and celebrities started to wear it for cocktail parties and big social events.
Creative directors of fashion brands realized that this working idea should be developed. Thanks to their vision and ability to combine conservative features with innovative ones and adapt vintage motifs to modern style, we can wear wrap dresses in everyday life as casual ones, put them on for a cocktail party, and at social events with a strict dress code.

The modern fashion history of wrap dresses started with their kimono styles. So if you are searching the authentic oriental Asian vibes, then go for it.
For many women a cocktail party is the only way to put on a beautiful wrap dress, that they see as inappropriate as the casual attire. If this is your case, them pay attention to the fancy designed dresses in bold colors and modern decorations like ruffles and sequins.
The elegant shine of silk and satin makes a wrap dress similar to the homewear. This is the reason why so many women refuse this style. But if you opt for it, don’t forget to complete your outfit with a cute clutch and beautiful high heel pumps.
