They might have been a wardrobe staple for nearly a century, but it’s thanks to fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg (aka DVF)– who really brought this trend to light in the’70s, fusing function with a flattering silhouette to create the ever-so-popular wrap dress – that the style is still major today. No matter your aesthetic, we’ve rounded up seven wrap dresses for everyone, from feminine to bohemian.
