Draping, whether it's on a dress or top, is flattering and luxe. A simple piece looks that much more expensive when draping details are added, giving even the most basic ensemble a look of sophistication.


Runway designers like Yigal Azrouel and Rick Owens are known for their lust-inducing, extremely desirable pieces but the price-tags on these amazing garments? Not so much. So does this mean that to get unique and flattering draping, we must take out a second mortgage just to get the wardrobe we want? Far from it.


With a little searching, it's easy to find affordable pieces with expert draping that will make us look and feel like we just stepped out of the pages of Vogue! Click on the slideshow to see some of our favorite draped picks that are $100 or less!

Founded in 1998 and quickly gaining critical acclaim and an ever growing fan base, Yigal Azrouel isn't exactly a newcomer, but I just recently discovered his line of modern, sensual pieces and immediately fell in love. Isreal-born desiger, Yigal Azrouel is a self-taught draper who has reached genius status. Sumptuous knits, silks and other luxurious fabrics are twisted and draped expertly to flatter the female form. The dresses are definite objects of desire with classic shapes given an edgy makeover and a healthy dose of sex appeal. Peek-a-boo cutouts, body skimming fabrics, and of course, gorgeous and flattering draping, Yigal Azrouel dresses and 'basics' are not only chic and youthful, but surprisingly versatile as well. A classically somber color palette of black, white, and greys lets the beauty and quality Yigal Azrouel's designs speak for themselves. But you don't have to hear me go on gushing about this amazing (and cute!) young designer, just click on the slideshow to see some favorites of Yigal Azrouel's latest creations!
