Wrap Tops

You may not know this but wrap style costumes or wraptops used to be admired by both men and women equally in older times. They were either wrapped around the chest or around the waist with a belt. We call them wraparound shawls, tops and skirts nowadays. Not much difference, but they are now only popular amongst women. And there are many new avatars of this old-style you will see in the online marketplace.

No wonder wraptops are a must-have in your closet. And once you explore the options, you will have the urge to have more than one in different styles. However, on Shops.ae, we emphasize our readers and buyers to shop smart. We would like you to research a bit, read a bit, explore the online marketplace before hitting the buy button. Your closet is only for quality articles. Believe us, once you get a keen eye for quality, even your impulse purchases would be satisfying. Be it wraptops or any other tops you wish to explore, you should start by knowing the options you have.

The diverse range of wrap tops

How does one wraptop differ from another? Brand, budget, and material are indeed the characteristic factors but there is more to it. Before you look into these factors, identify the style of the product. Four things you should notice include strap styles, wrap attachments, sleeve patterns, and style below the waist. For example, the product can be flowy or peplum style below the waist or it can be cropped as well. Likewise, the straps can be belt attached, with drawstrings, hooks, or just stitched. If you look at these details, you will notice the diversity within every product. There may be more things to review and you will get to know about them all while reading product descriptions. Do not forget to go into the details once you like the photo of the product.

Different strap styles of a wrap top blouse

A wraptop is identified with its strap, so it is important that you especially notice the strap design. It can be wide, thin, or just elastic made. They can be fastened on the sides of the waist, on the front, or on the back. You can also wrap the straps across your waist and tuck them inside your bottoms without any knot. You can even explore wraptops that don’t have straps at all. What they have instead are drawstrings, elastic, or the material is just stitched like wraptops. If you don’t like straps, you can choose any of these styles. You can look at trendy collections at Zara, H&M, Asos, Denim, and Next. Here, you will find many other varieties to choose from.

Wrap tops and dresses

Just like wraptops, wrap style dresses fit every occasion. From workplace fashion to party wear looks, this style will never disappoint you. The best thing about this style is you can experiment with a blend of vintage and modern outlooks. You can go for puffy shoulders or long sleeves with elastic. If not, you can adore the dress with evening or opera gloves for a party. Also, a slit below the waist starting from thighs or knees looks bold and beautiful with a wrap style. Overall, the look can be made elegant, casual, or funky by adding suitable accessories. Although the dress is always the focus element, you can accentuate the overall look with added embellishments. Choosing the right colour and material is up to you based on the event, weather, time of the event, and personal liking.

Wrap tops for plus size

Here, we want to emphasize especially on plus size women because wrap styles on them look stunningly beautiful. There is no way you can say no to a wrap top fearing it would expose your body fat and reveal flaws unwillingly. Because it does not! First, it has a V-neck style which most of the plus size women adore. And second, you can customize the waist area with the strap. A piece of advice would be to avoid wraptops with puffy sleeves because it unnecessarily makes your shoulder look broad. Also, if you have more fat around the hip and thigh area, try long belted wraptops, which works like magic by balancing your body image. Therefore, noticing and adapting these small details can make any style work for you regardless of your figure.
