Diane Von Furstenburg introduced her knit jersey wrap dresses in 1973... and now 35 years later they're a fashion icon. So much so there is even one in the collection of the Costume Institute of the Met. Her collections are much more broad now, but the wrap dresses and other variations of the jersey knit dress are always an important part.
Here's a totally classic wrap dress, in a fun retro print, $385. 100% silk jersey.
Here's another wrap style, "Hampton Wrap Dress", $365. This one sleeveless, but still easy enough to wear all year by pairing with a cardigan. 88% nylon, 12% elastane stretch fabric.
I love this tuxedo dress, $365 available at Net-a-porter. It has a tuxedo pleated front and black buttons and belt. Contrast lining at sleeves and front placket.
All three of these look like they'll be in style for another 35 years for sure. I always tend to love stuff that stands up to the test of time. I mean really, who would ever need acid washed jeans again? Classics like these dresses, when well kept, can be passed down to daughters and nieces and be enjoyed for many years to come.
