What’s better than buying something on sale? Easy. Buying it for one reason and using it for another.

You, know, like: It’s a tie … and a belt! A safety pin … But wait! Look at this! Also an earring!

Creative measures, sure. But when there’s a ready-made option out there, aren’t they a bit superfluous? Calvin Tran’s wrap multiskirt may look like a sturdy pareo on the rack, but, with zips and ties, it’s anything but. You can wear it three ways as a skirt, three ways as a dress, as a caftan, as a top, or as a cape. It’s a gem of a fashion find any way you wear it. And with color options ranging from black to tropical to geometric to floral print, the possibilities are endless. The only catch: You won’t find this wrap in your local three-in-one supermarket/hardware store/fashion retailer.

But that doesn’t mean it can’t pass as a pup tent, should you so desire.

Available at Sac Boutique, 115 Grand Street, between Broadway and Mercer Street (212-431-2576).
