Personal Style | Minimal Styling with an Asos Kimono

September 14, 2016 by Whitney 12 Comments

When it comes to personal style, I’m all about no-fuss, yet chic, outfits. Throwing my braids in a bun, wearing a pair of leggings, a kimono and a pair of big hoops is “my thing”. It’s the kind of look that’s perfect for someone trying to achieve a minimal sense of style. You maybe looking at this outfit and thinking, “is she wearing another kimono?!”  I’m guilty. But this time it’s a kimono from the men’s section. That counts for something, right?

So, how did I end up shopping in the men’s section? After seeing fellow Lifestyle Blogger Sam – AKA my kindred spirit – style a black and white men’s kimono, I had to know where I could find it! I frantically searched the ASOS website, found it in the men’s section, yet fell in love with the simplicity and versatility of the kimono worn in this post. I knew that I’d get more wear out of a solid kimono, so I opted to purchase this one instead.

Ladies, don’t be afraid to shop in the men’s section for certain wardrobe items! #wnjstyle

The material of the kimono is heavy enough to be worn throughout the fall and versatile enough to be styled multiple times. It can easily be styled over a casual dress, a tank top, or a light weight t-shirt as shown in this look. This minimal style purchase is certainly one I do not regret.

Thanks for reading and commenting! Until next time, be blessed and stay safe…XO!

    Love this minimal look and kimonos are so versatile! I have shopped Men’s – sometimes they are less expensive than the women’s department.

    Great find and you look very chic! I have shopped Mens before for a plaid shirt. Great idea and thanks for the reminder that there are finds to be had in the Mens clothing Dept.
