We as students are always shifting through our closets in search of something to slip on for class; we want to look put together without looking as though we spent hours preparing for one lecture or discussion. The solution to this problem is simple: grab that kimono hanging in your closet and go. The kimono trend has been around for a little while now. They come in all colors, patterns and lengths and are great pieces for any event or occasion. I know my closet is hoarding at least three, so why not hop on the bandwagon and get as many as you can?
This Fashionista shows us just one example of how kimonos work in many different outfits. Worn with a tight, lace cream dress, her long blue kimono adds movement and becomes the main focus with its color and unique pattern. Mixed patterns from her dress and her kimono create texture. Numerous bracelets act as arm candy and staggered necklaces add a nice touch to her simple scoop neckline. Tan Tory Burch sandals act minimally to finish off her outfit.
Kimonos are an easy way to create versatility in any look. Whether you’re dressing for a shopping day or a night out with the girls, slipping on a kimono can always be a go-to option. Its loose fit is comfortable and practical for any occasion; the plethora of pattern and color options allow them to match almost any outfit in the making. Whether floral, polka-dotted or simply solid, this garment is just the thing you need to complete your night out ensemble or out to lunch outfit.
How To: Just got a fabulous pair of skinny jeans to wear out on the town? Give them some movement! Pair them with a solid tank and a bold, patterned kimono to add some color. Top your look off with a pair of wedges and you’re ready to enjoy the nightlife!
