Meghan Markle stepping out in Jason Wu’s navy blue wrap dress resulted in the style being sold out in minutes, according to reports. Thanks to the soon-to-be-royal, the wrap effect is being felt across the globe not just as dresses but even as tops. We pick out some of the most trendy options from Etro to Alice + Olivia.

Get in line
Urvashi Kaur’s angrakha dress has a pleated skirt and contrasting cords that you can tie below the chest. The dark brown dress with off-white checks is made from organic khadi. Rs.15,300
 

Blue signal
From designer Kiran Uttam Ghosh’s festive collection, this tunic is a great way to make a statement. If the unconventional silhouette is not attractive enough, the fabric is pleated to add some texture. It is finished with contrasting embroidery on the neck. Rs.25,189

Sea faring
This dress from indie label Jodi is inspired by the sea. The dense ruffles and the colours used are designed to match the movement and colour of waves. The piece is crafted from 100 per cent cotton in Jaipur. Rs.4,703
 

Pretty paisley 
The Bangalore wrap dress from Etro’s Spring / Summer ’18 collection reinvents the paisley print for the season. The dress is made from a blend of cotton and silk and features a flared skirt, jacquard panels on the bodice and golden trimming. Rs.2,34,450

Take shape
This top from Australia-based Ellery might be minimal on embellishments, but one can’t say the same for its silhouette. The exaggerated sculpted sleeves sure make a bold statement, as do the broad and long waist ties. Wear with fitted black trousers to complete the look. Rs.40,105
 

Power plaid 
Printed with tonal blue, grey and white checks, this plaid dress from Vince is flattering and sharp all at once. The soft cotton blend it is made with ensures comfort, while the thin waist ties and sleeveless design make it chic and contemporary. Rs.44,480 approximately
 

Black magic
Alice + Olivia’s silk blouse is elegant, sexy and just what you need for a night out. The subtle sheerness of the top offers the right amount of oomph, and the billowing sleeves and enveloping waist tie allow you to be comfortable in your skin. Rs.38,229 approximately
