The Background

The wrap is basically a style that looks like it was just wrapped around the body. Sometimes it is functional and sometimes it’s not because who has time for that?

The wrap style has been slowing building since the fall. We saw it in skirts and now it’s blown up in all the other pieces of your wardrobe. The inspiration of ballet from many designer and affordable brands alike are to blame along with the eighties and nineties styles slowly resurfacing.

Trending Into Spring

However, wrap styles are taking on new variations when it comes to how you wear them. Wraps can be simple, like just a little extra fabric on a skirt. They can also get more complicated depending on how fashion forward you want to get (or how long you want it to take you to get ready). I think this a flattering style that can be interpreted in many different ways depending on your personal style.

Check out the wrap styles I am loving down below! What are some of your favorites from this trend!

About The Trend

Mesh started peeking out back in the summer as a layering piece. Mesh tanks and t-shirts were layered under tops and dresses. I know what your thinking. Only the Spice Girls could wear mesh tops and get away with it. However, the fabric is taking on new shapes and looking better than ever. The same old fabric worn by the athletic crowd is being changed into something modern, delicate, and sophisticated. Through fall and winter mesh has transformed from a layering piece to the main piece of an outfit. This evolution is due to the addition of embellishment such as beads or embroidery. Sleeve interest (such as a bell, slit, or ruffle) from earlier in the season is another update for this fabric.

Why Mesh is Trending

I personally love this trend because it’s easy to layer. Layering is one thing that makes fashion more fun! Adding mesh gives texture where it may not have been in another outfit. An example of this would be mixing mesh with faux leather or another material. This material mixing takes mesh out of it’s athletic only stigma, and into high fashion.

Another reason I love this trend is because it can be styled in so many different ways. It can be more of an urban street casual look, or more edgy, and even be worn in a romantic silhouette. Because of the versatility of this fabric, mesh is easy to add to any style.

Want to try before you buy into the hype?? Buy pieces with small mesh insets and see how you can incorporate it into your wardrobe.

This is definitely going to be a trend to look out for this spring, but here how some retailers are trying it out now!
