Personal Style | Why You Need Kimonos in Your Wardrobe

July 30, 2015 by Whitney 13 Comments

Kimonos have been a wardrobe staple for me since last year. I’ve always been a fan of styling them, but over the last year I’ve been gravitating towards them more and more. When I’m out shopping that’s the first thing I search for – they’re such a necessary wardrobe addition. So of course, I must share the 5 reasons why you need kimonos in your wardrobe.  

Why You Need Kimonos in Your Wardrobe

1. Versatility. There are several variations of the kimono trend and that’s a good thing. It keeps the trend versatile and makes it simple for you to find a style that works for your aesthetic. Weather full length, mid length or cardigan style, kimonos are extremely versatile; there’s a perfect style for every shopper.

2. Easy to Style & Wear. If you don’t know what to add to an OOTD like a maxi dress, throw on a kimono! Want to add a little something over a tank top and jeans look? Pick a kimono! They’re the easiest garments to style and wear.

5 reasons you need to add kimonos to your wardrobe. #wnjstyle

Why You Should Wear Kimonos

3. Affordability. Oftentimes I find my favorite kimonos at the thrift store, for less than $10! Even if they’re not thrifted, more often than not kimonos aren’t that expensive. And they’re also on sale often at stores like TJ Maxx, Nordstrom Rack and Asos.

4. Timeless. I don’t think the kimono trend will go out of style anytime soon. Their classic and timeless wardrobe staples; perfect for any wardrobe and every season.

5. Comfort. If you’ve been a WNJ reader for awhile, you know I’m all about looking stylish and being comfortable. Kimonos are the perfect garment for comfort because they’re usually lightweight and flowy. The garment moves with you and the various prints and colors help amp up your personal style instantly!

    I couldn’t agree more with all of these. You look so lovely in each of these kimonos, but you are definitely rocking the red one. Thank you for linking up to “Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me” today.

    Yes, kimono’s are definitely one of your staples for sure and you wear them well love. I own a couple myself and in my case, I love how “forgiving” they are. I seem to always gravitate towards them when I want to be cute but mask my problem areas. I also love that they can be worn all seasons, transitional pieces are my best friend! 🙂 Great post!
