Side tie is the most common way to tie a wrap mini skirt. Wrap the skirt around your body and tie it in a knot at the side. You can adjust the length of the skirt by tying it higher or lower on your waist.

The front tie is a more stylish way to tie a wrap mini skirt. Wrap the skirt around your body and bring the ends of the skirt together in front of you.

The wrap skirt is a modern take on one of the oldest and most traditional forms of dressing. As designer Diane von Furstenberg put it:

The wrap dress is the most traditional form of dressing: It’s like a robe, it’s like a kimono, it’s like a toga. It doesn’t have buttons or zippers. What made it different was that it was jersey; therefore, it was close to the body and it was a print.

Like its iconic dress counterpart, the wrap mini skirt offers an effortlessly chic and adjustable fit, flattering all body types. Its versatility allows you to tie it at the waist for a custom fit, adjusting the length and coverage to suit any occasion.

With a bit of creativity, you can find endless ways to wear your wrap mini skirt.

Wrap Skirts for Every Occasion: From Beach Chic to Red Carpet Glam

From ultra-short minis to flowing maxis, wrap skirts continue to dominate celebrity fashion. Alessandra Ambrosio and Lily Collins have each put their own spin on this trend, proving that whether you prefer a relaxed boho vibe or a sleek, tailored look, there’s a wrap skirt for every occasion.

Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio showcased a stunning wrap maxi skirt at a 2021 Labor Day celebration in Malibu. She donned a cream semi-sheer gauze ensemble from Australian fashion label Bronx and Banco featuring the “Amari” crop top with ruched bust, diamond-shaped front cutouts, and detachable balloon sleeves, paired with a matching wrap maxi skirt tied at the waist and boasting a high slit.

Lily Collins also showcased a chic ensemble at PaleyFest LA 2022, embracing ’80s-inspired fashion with a modern twist. She donned a bright blue skirt suit from Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2022 collection, featuring a nipped-in waist and flared peplum hem. The matching asymmetric wrap-style mini skirt highlighted her legs, while a brown bodysuit with a low-cut sweetheart neckline added a contemporary touch.
