The perfect pair of jeans, a wear-with-everything-blazer, the latest in accessories ( we're looking at you boots and fedoras), and the timeless wrap dress.

Today, in a sea of clothing options, this sophisticated dress continues to hold its own. With modern variations, sexy splits, and ladylike appeal, the wrap dress remains the quintessential style for a chic uncomplicated look. Below, we've gathered a few options to wear now, later, and keep forever.
Edition #2 Striped Wrap Dress
A bold shoulder, blazer lapel, and subtle striping give this dress classic boardroom appeal, but it's the deep olive color and whips hemline that makes it perfect for fall. Wear now with ankle strap sandals and chocolate brown leather boots come autumn.
Frolicking Floral Puff Sleeve Wrap Dress
This ditsy floral mini is great for warmer days that still feel like summer. When the temperature starts to drop, pair it with an oversized blazer and knee high boots for a structured and feminine look.
Panama Cover-up Maxi Dress
Even with flutter sleeves and its striking tangerine color, the fall of this maxi feels effortless. That said, keep styling to a minimum and pair with a flat sandal or low boot in a neutral color.
Moon Dance Wrap Dress
A slinky slip dress is a transitional wardrobe must and this one by Australian brand Bec + Bridge checks all the boxes: a draping neckline that's just low enough for day and night looks, an appropriate side split, and a floaty hemline that hits right at the ankle. It's also available in three flattering colors.

The tank style of this sarong-skirted dress is ideal for layering. As the weather cools, pair this with an oversized sweater and sleek mules for a breezy feel.
Eden Silk-viscose Crepe de Chine Wrap Dress
DVF does it again with this modern take on the original style. The vivid leopard print and ruffled neckline create a bold yet contemporary statement that begs for any equally classic shoe.
Asymmetric Printed Crepe Midi Wrap Dress
