Why Wrap Dresses Are the New Robes
Robes are the ideal companion for life indoors. They’re easy to wear, and once you slip one on, you kind of feel like you’re at a spa. There have been plenty of nights over the past few months where swapping my silk robe for sweats has helped me feel more put-together, even if my plans are sitting on the couch.
With Memorial Day around the corner, excitement is bubbling for trading sweats and robes for summer’s finest strappy sandals, raffia accessories, and floaty dresses. But the transition into our summer clothes usually marked by the upcoming holiday might take a little longer than usual.
That’s where the wrap dresses come in. I have been shopping for wrap dresses now more than ever before. They’re the robe’s sibling—same style, same purpose, but a bit more sophisticated and meant for wearing outside. Wrap dresses are the ultimate transitional piece to help get a head start on summer dressing while we’re still expected to continue much of life at home.
Here, 15 wrap dresses to throw on instead of your robe to help you get ready for the warm summer days ahead.
