My favourite this year – The kimono

This year, my absolute favorite thing to wear has been the kimono! There’s just something magical about slipping one on—it instantly makes any outfit feel a little more special. I brought a few lovely ones back from Bali, so every time I wear them, it’s like carrying a little piece of sunshine with me. Plus, they’re super handy when summer days turn into breezy evenings, especially during those chill hangouts by the Danube. While the city stayed hot and busy, the riverside air felt cooler, and my trusty kimono kept me cozy and cute.

I love the colours of the kimonos, these garments are often flashy, cheerful, made of light material, and you can find an appropriate one to an outfit of virtually any style. You can wear them with sneakers, jeans and a T-shirt or with a feminine dress, high heels, sandals, as well.With the advent of autumn, fortunately stores have introduced kimonos made of heavier fabrics more suitable for winter, for example this beauty from Zara. I mixed the styles a bit again, for the torn jeans and simple white top I chose a pair of more feminine platform sandals, balancing between being sporty and snazzy-in-high-heels.

I have collected a few more that have given me much inspiration.

27 Trending Ways to Style a Kimono Outfit

The eye catching kimono is a traditional Japanese garment that has been worn for centuries. Loosely translated, kimono means “the thing to wear” in Japanese, and that has never been more true than it is today. Long, flowy and comfortable, kimonos lend a delicate and feminine aspect to even the most basic of outfits. Whether paired with a swim suit or jeans, worn as a dress, or as a piece of outerwear, a kimono is sure to be the star of your outfit. While traditional kimonos are readily available and perfect as is, there are a number of modern takes on the trend. Kimonos are extremely versatile and can be purchased in a wide variety of styles, textures, and lengths, which pretty much guarantees you’ll find a kimono (or two or three) to complement your favorite outfit and satisfy your unique style.
