After seasons of boho reigning on the runway as the go-to for romantic dressing, the tides have turned with the return of the dreamy, goddess-inspired, draped trend. We saw fluid pleated gowns injected with bold colorplay at Alberta Ferretti. And who could forget the stunning lamé showstopper at Gucci’s Love Parade show? However, Loewe stole the spotlight this season with fluid shapes in dreamy pastels that make for an approachable interpretation of the draped trend for everyday.
So how do you channel this ultra-feminine mood without looking straight out of the Hellenistic Period? Everyday staple items will inject a little of that ethereal feel without being too costumey. Whether it be a one-and-done dress that hugs the figure, or easy separates that can be broken up and paired with more classic pieces already in your closet, make sure to look for plenty of pleats, ruching, and draping. Rich colors, ombré dyes, and playful textures provide an added dose of modernity to the trend and minimal accessories will complete any look (but feel free to go all out with equally trend-forward gladiator lace-up sandals if you are truly daring).
Below find 22 draped pieces to incorporate into your wardrobe for an otherworldly feel.
