Fashionista NOW: 8 Gorgeous Kimono Style Outerwear Fashion Inspiration

Want to inject a Japanese flair into your wardrobe? Find our stylish kimono outerwear selection and be prepared to ooze oriental chic.

Where the sun is generous with its rays all year long, a lighter layer of outerwear with a Japanese persuasion is not only a refreshing addition but a statement that style evolves throughout time and clothing once bound by national lines are moving across the globe with such abandon.

A kimono’s traditional identity remains while it plays a strong influence in the wardrobe of the young, hip and trendy. Popular as part of a carefree bohemian attire as it’s introduced as a summer-friendly outerwear and an option for a flowy festival-themed outfit, the kimono’s relevance in today’s contemporary fashion is ever pervasive. The trademark roomy sleeves and the overall relaxed shape are both defining features much loved in a kimono-style outerwear.

Because of the structureless shape, it is important to layer the outerwear over outfits that are relatively form-fitting so that a balance is achieved. One of the ways to dress up a modern casual combo of tee-and-shorts or tee-and-jeans is to top up the look with a patterned kimono outerwear. This will inject interest in the form of color, print and movement.

What’s even more exciting today with the kimono trend is that designers are marrying various unlikely elements together, utilizing fringe, capes, and a modern print styling to appease the diverse style palette of the current population.

Enjoy our favorite kimono outerwear selection below which I personally think will complement any wardrobe style.
