Let’s break it down!

1. Classic & Chic – The Effortless Everyday Look

If you’re all about low-effort but high-impact outfits, this one’s for you! A wrap skirt pairs perfectly with a simple fitted tee, tank top, or bodysuit. It’s one of the easiest ways to wear a wrap skirt while keeping things comfy and stylish.

How to style it:

  • Go for a midi or mini wrap skirt in a solid color or fun print.

  • Pair it with a basic white tee or a ribbed tank.

  • Throw on some sneakers, flat sandals, or cute espadrilles.

  • Minimal jewelry and a crossbody bag complete the effortless look.

This is your go-to look when you want to feel put together without trying too hard. Plus, once you get the hang of how to tie a wrap skirt, you’ll be rocking this style all the time!

2. Office-Ready – Wrap Skirt Meets Workwear

Yes, you CAN wear wrap skirts to work! They bring a sophisticated yet comfortable touch to your professional wardrobe.

How to style it:

  • Opt for a knee-length or midi wrap skirt in a structured fabric like linen or tweed.

  • Pair it with a crisp button-down, fitted sweater, or a tucked-in blouse.

  • Add sleek loafers, pointed-toe flats, or ankle boots for a polished vibe.

  • Finish with delicate jewelry and a structured tote.

A wrap skirt adds a little flair to your office outfit while still looking professional. And trust me, once you master how to tie a wrap skirt securely, you won’t have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions at work!

3. Beachy & Boho – Flowy & Free-Spirited

If you love that easy-breezy, vacation-ready look, a flowy wrap skirt is everything. Whether you’re heading to the beach, a festival, or just channeling your inner boho goddess, this is one of the dreamiest ways to wear a wrap skirt.

How to style it:

  • Choose a long, flowy wrap skirt in a lightweight fabric like chiffon or cotton.

  • Pair it with a cute crop top, bralette, or even a bikini top.

  • Layer with an oversized button-down or a crochet cardigan for extra boho vibes.

  • Accessorize with layered necklaces, woven bags, and strappy sandals.

This style is all about movement and freedom, so go for a wrap skirt that sways beautifully as you walk. And if you’re wondering how to tie a wrap skirt for a more relaxed fit, just keep the knot a little loose for that effortless, undone look.

4. Date Night Glam – Elevate the Wrap Skirt

Looking to turn heads? Wrap skirts can be seriously sexy when styled right! If you’re dressing up for date night or a fancy event, a silky or satin wrap skirt is your best bet.

How to style it:

  • Choose a midi or maxi wrap skirt with a high slit for some flirty flair.

  • Pair it with a fitted camisole, off-the-shoulder top, or a lace bodysuit.

  • Add some strappy heels or sleek stilettos to elongate your legs.

  • Finish with statement earrings, a clutch, and soft waves or a sleek bun.

This is one of the most stunning ways to wear a wrap skirt when you want to feel extra special. And don’t stress about how to tie a wrap skirt to keep it secure—just double-knot it or add a discreet pin for extra hold.

5. Street Style Cool – Edgy & Trendy

Who says wrap skirts can’t be cool and edgy? If you love streetwear-inspired fashion, you’ll love this look! A wrap skirt can totally work with an edgier aesthetic when paired with the right pieces.

How to style it:

  • Pick an asymmetrical or leather wrap skirt for a bold touch.

  • Pair it with a graphic tee, oversized sweater, or cropped hoodie.

  • Throw on some chunky combat boots or platform sneakers.

  • Add statement sunglasses and a mini backpack to complete the vibe.

This is one of those unexpected ways to wear a wrap skirt that’ll have people asking where you got your outfit. And if you’re wondering how to tie a wrap skirt with a little extra attitude, try a side knot instead of a front one!

6. Cozy & Layered – Fall/Winter Styling

Wrap skirts aren’t just for summer! You can totally rock them in cooler months with the right layering techniques.

How to style it:

  • Choose a thicker wrap skirt in wool or knit fabric.

  • Pair it with a cozy turtleneck, chunky sweater, or fitted long-sleeve top.

  • Layer with tights and knee-high boots or ankle booties.

  • Add a structured coat, scarf, and beanie for extra warmth.

This is one of the coziest ways to wear a wrap skirt without sacrificing style. And don’t worry about how to tie a wrap skirt in colder weather—just make sure it’s snug and secure so it stays in place all day.

A present for myself, because I deserve it

I originally started out my subscription as every other month, and with color suggestions for the team selecting the skirts. That changed after the first delivery. My first skirt was February, and I forget which goddess it would have been inspired by according to the enclosed card, but it would have been more fun with the seasonal option, rather than to ask for specific colors. I immediately removed that, but dithered too long about changing the frequency, and missed the next delivery.

All of the skirts have been lovely – every one! – and the reversible design gives so many options for wearing. The shimmering colors and swirling silky fabric are a pleasure to wear, too. I'm pretty sure I'm threading the ties wrong, though, but I'll figure it out. I have also learned that the tea length is almost "maxi" on me (I am pocket size), so I'm afraid maxi length will drag the floor. I wish there was a way to toggle the length choices, to further customize the seasonal option, although I think I understand why it's done this way.

I love that these are made from recycled saris, reclaimed fabric that might otherwise go to a landfill. Not only that, but Darn Good Yarn supports the people who make them – no sweatshops!

Maybe you're worth it, too. Maybe you have a friend who needs reminding that they're worth it. Give yourself or (and!) a friend a subscription of something beautiful, and support sustainable fashion in the best possible way.

Hi there! 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely review and for being a part of our Skirt of the Month® Club! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the skirts and the reversible design. We totally understand your feedback about the color suggestions and the length options, and we'll definitely take that into consideration for future boxes. We're also thrilled that you appreciate our commitment to sustainability and fair trade. You are absolutely worth it, and we're so grateful to have you as a customer. Thanks again for your support! -Claudia
