Linen wrap dresses: the summer essential

A variation of the wrap dress originating in traditional Chinese and Japanese clothing, and later made famous in popular culture by Diane von Furstenberg, linen wrap dresses are a seasonally comfortable iteration of a timelessly classic cut. THE ICONIC’s collection of pure and linen blend wrap dress styles combine style-focused silhouettes with the innate versatility of linen to suit all occasions.

Types of linen wrap dress

Naturally comfortable, thanks to its breathable qualities, pure linen is ideal for wear in warmer weather, while a blended fabric, such as a linen cotton wrap dress, lends greater versatility for year-round wear. Less clingy than bodycon or stretchy jersey wrap dresses, womens linen wrap dress styles give soft structure, whether in close-fitting or A-line silhouettes.

A wrap dress is characterised by a wrap-around bodice, skirt or both. Typically featuring a surplice neckline resembling a ballet cardigan, a wrap dress can be fixed in design or adjustable via self tie closure, cinching the waist for a tailored fit which skims the figure. Look to an AERE linen wrap dress for fashionably effortless elegance in any dress length, with plenty more options arriving seasonally on THE ICONIC.

With an above-knee hemline, mini wrap dresses are a playful take on the design, ideal for off-duty wear and party-style ensembles. Style a linen wrap dress mini with strappy sandals or heels for a casual aesthetic.

A linen midi wrap dress falls between the calf and ankle for a smart length which suits most occasions. As an elegant and sophisticated silhouette, a midi women's linen wrap dress can be appropriate for workwear, weddings and formal events alike.

Falling to the ankle or floor, a linen wrap dress maxi works for casual, resort or boho looks in a laidback, relaxed fit, while elevated designs and contemporary cuts lend themselves to special occasions.
