Wrap (clothing)

In the context of clothing, a wrap is

"A loose garment or article of feminine dress used or designed to envelop or fold about the person; a shawl, scarf, or the like."
"a long piece of cloth worn around the shoulders for warmth or decoration, usually by women"
"a loose piece of clothing that is worn tied around the body"

It can refer to a shawl or stole or other fabric wrapped about the upper body, or a simple skirt-type garment made by wrapping a piece of material round the lower body. Many people of all genders throughout the world wear wraps in everyday life, although in the West they are largely worn by women. They are sometimes sewn at the edges to form a tube which keeps the required size. A wrap may be secured by a corner being tucked beneath the wrapped material, by making a knot, or using ties, buttons or velcro.
