Are you obsessed with keeping up with the latest fashion trends? Well, the kimono cardigan is one that will not disappoint. Yes I have said “cardigan” however this cutie is not your average sweater. The kimono is actually the traditional clothing that came from Japan. Kimono styles have changed significantly from one period of Japan’s history to another, and today there are many different types of kimono worn by men, women, and children. The cut, color, fabric, and decorations of a kimono vary according to the sex, age, and marital status of the wearer, the season of the year, and the occasion for which the kimono is worn! Americans have taken the kimono to another level.
Normally a cardigan is worn during the fall and winter season with a pair of stylish boots. Since the weather has become warmer stores have ditched the cotton and make them with lighter material. This trend has continued over from winter season and for obvious reasons. How does the kimono differ from your average cardigan? Well, the kimono is made from a thinner material and has shorter sleeves. This must have has multiple variations. It could have sassy fringes, a dynamic train, and statement prints. I absolutely adore sharing what designers and boutiques work so hard on to bring you the most fabulous styles for the season. It is time to update your basic cardigan and purchase an eye-catching kimono! A lot of stylish women would love to take on new trends but can’t seem to figure out how? Below are several ways to that this trend to the next level! Remember you call the shots; it is your body so it’s a must to incorporate your own style.
