My wrap dresses [1] are, hands down, some of the most flattering silhouettes I've ever owned. But beyond the standard printed midi that you wear with heels and a blazer for the office, there are so many unique ways to style the versatile design [2]. Right now, my favourite is over a pair of wide-leg pants that pool to the floor. Maybe they have pockets that you can make use of, so you'll look extra cool standing tall in a pair of wedges that complete the look. You don't have to panic about perfectly fastening all the interior buttons or cinching the sash at your waist too tightly because — guess what? — your underwear is not the next layer of this well-orchestrated outfit.
I don't think there's any combination that better speaks to "relaxed sophistication" in the Summer. Pile on some gold jewellery, including a pair of architectural earrings [3], and swing your neutral shoulder bag [4] at your side. You're instantly ready for a day at the office, and if you have an event at night, consider switching up your look by shedding the trousers and slipping on a '90s minimalist sandal [5]. "Chic" doesn't even begin to describe the way you look right now, but maybe "smarty pants" is on the right track.
