The Side-Tie, Explained: Why Every VUNN Wrap Has One

Look across the rail and you'll notice the same detail again and again: a side-tie closure. It isn't a trend we're chasing — it's the most practical fastening there is for a top you want to actually live in. Here's what it does and why we keep using it.

It fits more than one body

A side-tie adjusts. Buttons and zips fix you to one measurement; a tie lets you cinch tighter or leave it easy, so the same top works across a range of sizes and across the days your body isn't identical. The Sand Linen Wrap Top fits a wider band of people precisely because it ties rather than buttons.

It's three tops in one

Tie it shut and it's a clean top. Leave it loose and it's an open layer. Knot it higher and it's a piece you wear over a dress. We covered this in depth in our wrap styling guide — but the tie is what makes all three possible. The Slate Linen Wrap Top and the Dusk Linen Wrap Vest both flex the same way.

It stays put

The common worry — does it come undone? — is handled by an inner tie that anchors the wrap, with the outer tie sitting over it. You get the relaxed look of a wrap without spending the day adjusting it. No gaping, no surprises.

It reads softer than a button placket

There's an aesthetic reason too. A tie closure has a quieter, more relaxed line than a row of buttons — it suits the matte, lived-in character of linen and chanderi. It's the detail that makes these tops read easy rather than formal.

Frequently asked questions

Will the side-tie come undone through the day?
No — there's a hidden inner tie holding the wrap closed, with the visible tie over it. It's secure.

Does a wrap suit everyone?
The adjustable tie is what makes it forgiving — cinch or loosen to your shape. It's one of the most size-flexible cuts we make.
