After a long hard year of school, summer should be a time of relaxation and rest. We all deserve a break, don’t we? Still, the fashion world does not take breaks and we must fight the urge to wedge out as couch potatoes in sweats and T-shirts. Luckily, there are many tricks to taking a casual outfit and transforming it into a runway ready look. One of these gifts happen to be kimonos.
The bohemian style quickly took over the fashion industry, and it seems to be here to stay. One look that we just cannot get enough of is the kimono. A bohemian staple, kimonos are a great way of transforming an outfit from drab to fab. You can pair kimonos with everything, from jeans to dresses to pencil skirts. The great part about kimonos is that they can be used as the statement piece of an ensemble, so you could easily just pair one with a pair of shorts and a camisole. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or painting the town, there’s a kimono perfect for your occasion and outfit.
