The Bandage Dress is Back in 2022
Every fashion season has a few wardrobe staples that are so popular they resurface as cultural phenomenons. In the pantheon of must-have frocks, you'll find the LBD, wedding dresses, wrap dresses and—arguably most famous of all—the bandage dress. This tight-fitting "bodycon" style — which looks like it was made from multiple thin strips of cloth sewn together, with the individual strips shaped to look like bandages — was created by Azzedine Ala
It's a figure-flattering style that has had a who's who list of celebrity fans since its debut in the early '90s. And as the pandemic wore on and shoppers began to look for stylish yet comfortable clothes, the bandage dress became one of the most-worn go-to pieces for night outs.
Now, a new Hervé Leger collection has relaunched this figure-hugging frock to roaring success. And with a variety of modern-day details, including cut-outs and off-the-shoulder styles, it's easy to see why the bandage dress is back in 2022.
What Is a Bandage Dress?
A bandage dress is a stretchy, form-fitting dress that clings to the body and accentuates curves. They're usually sleeveless and have a low neckline. They can be worn on a casual outing or dressed up for a special occasion, such as a party or holiday event. The best part is that a bandage dress is flattering on almost all bodies, no matter the age or size.
KJ Moody, a celebrity stylist whose A-list clientele includes Kim Kardashian and Zendaya, says that bandage dresses are returning to popularity because they're eye-catching. "People are looking for going-out clothing now more than ever, and a bandage dress is sure to make a statement," she tells Refinery29. Fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen agrees that as people feel more confident and secure in their daily lives, they're looking for eye-catching pieces of clothing. She notes that her firm's recent survey found that more people are buying dresses than usual.
While there are many variations on the classic bandage dress, it's essential to find the right fit for you. To do that, start by measuring your waist, hips and bust. Then, order your dress according to those measurements. If you have a larger bust, consider wearing shapewear, such as Spanx, underneath the dress to add more volume to that area.
Once you've found the perfect fit, complete your outfit with strappy heels or classic stilettos. Then, opt for neutral-toned makeup for a polished look. Finally, choose a bag that complements your dress's color and print.
The Hervé Leger bandage dress is available in a variety of colors and prints. Whether you're looking for something bold or subtle, there is a style for everyone. So shop for the perfect one and prepare to wow your friends and family. And don't forget to take a selfie in your sexy new frock. Your Instagram followers will thank you.
