In recent years, the kimono has made its way back into popular style culture. The piece has popped up in fashion shows everywhere, from Gucci to Givenchy. Soon to find its way into every fast fashion retailer, each has a unique spin inspired by the original cultural piece. This versatile piece is now a staple that should have a place in everyone’s closet. The kimono is a great alternative to any cardigan or jacket, and can also help bring a little color to your basics.
Trying to find an outfit to take you straight from class to work, while balancing style and comfort can be a bearing task and this Fashionista caught my eye by doing just that. She took a simple slate gray T-shirt and brought it to life with a uniquely patterned kimono. This Fashionista’s kimono is embellished with small cream-colored tassels that bring her kimono a little extra flair. She played off those embellishments from her kimono and reflected the idea to her black studded sandals. Topping off the perfect outfit with a perfect summer hat, a great accessory to save all Fashionistas and Fashionistos from the piercing summer sun.
Even in the summer, most employers still require you to cover your bare shoulders while at work. A kimono is best for the job, being lightweight it will keep you a lot cooler than cardigan we are all so use to grabbing. Not to mention, it will give you that extra flair to spice up your daily look! From girly to edgy or anything in between you are sure to find a kimono that will math your personal aesthetic to a T.
