The wrap skirt has one genuinely annoying flaw and that is the gap. You know the one. The fabric parts at exactly the wrong moment, usually when you are walking or sitting, and suddenly the whole thing feels like a bad idea. The skirts we have pulled together here are the ones that solve that. Better cut, better overlap, better placement of the tie so the whole thing actually stays organised around your body rather than against it.

We love a wrap skirt for summer because the adjustable fit works across a wider range of bodies than almost any other silhouette. There is no zip to fight, no waistband cutting in after lunch. Just fabric that wraps, ties, and moves with you. We have been particularly drawn to midis this season, lengths that feel relaxed without tipping into resort wear territory, in prints and plains that work on actual holidays and on ordinary warm days at home.

These are not the skirts that look good on a hanger and betray you by noon. These are the ones that sit exactly right and keep sitting that way.
