ALL IN THE DETAILS: We All Float On

Kimo-no? I think you mean kimo-yes. I cannot get enough of these beautiful, flowing gems that are seen everywhere from festivals, beaches and now campuses across the country. Light, airy and well crafted, these kimonos are made to be worn and a pleasure to wear.

I adore how this Fashionista styled her beautiful sheer kimono with black denim and edgy booties, lending to an unexpected element in her look. Pretty pink roses cover her kimono along with green detailing, which offers depth and complexity to a beautifully simple outfit. Her kimono is perfectly proportioned to her flowing white tank and skinny jeans; it isn’t too long, too short or too billowy, but just right.

This Fashionista dared to sport a brilliant white tank that flows along with her kimono, which is one element that complemented her look. She then slipped into her black skinny denim and black booties, balancing the dark tones in her kimono. Again, this Fashionista exudes effortless vibes because of her innovative and daring ways of pairing dainty florals with cutting-edge boots. Her edginess is balanced out by her girly side. She finishes her look with simple jewelry: a gold watch, which brings out the warms tones in her kimono, a couple of her day-to-day rings and dainty heart necklace. Her classic pairing of a tank top and jeans topped off with her bold, boho-chic kimono instantly inspired me to take the risk and buy one for myself.

How To: When styling yourself, consider the different styles that kimonos lend to. It’s easy to find the right kimono for the right mood, whether you’re feeling pretty florals, cool fringe or feminine pinks. The key to pulling off the flowing kimono is to strut with confidence, embracing the flowing fabric and fringe around you.
