By Patty Goff


There are so many ways in which a person can accessorize and express himself. For girls and women, the usual go to when you want the world to know who you are is by the way you dress. It is also used to express your current feeling and your vibe for the day. There are times when the weather and temperature would change, but it is interesting to note that women still find a way to work around and even use situations like this to dress up.

Today, there are a lot of ways to put on an outfit. There are even different styles and themes. Fashion has a way of reinventing itself and creating something new while drawing inspiration from the traditional. One of the best example for this is the rise of a new fashion trend which is the kimono style cardigan.

Kimono is the national costume of the Japanese women. And this same fashion is now widely used by girls to amplify their look. It is usually seen nowadays, as a cardigan draped over an under shirt. Unlike the traditional kimono, the new one does not reach up to the ground nor it is wrapped around the body.

The first to gain popularity are sheer kimonos that were plain. Nowadays, the trend has changed and girls preferred to wear printed ones. Whichever kind you prefer, you should always remember that this piece would do better if it is not worn on its own. There would be a need for you to mix and match.

It was during summertime that this piece became really popular. And even until the beginning of fall, there were still women who are sporting a kimono. The trick is to mix it with pieces so that it would become as suitable outfit for the season. If you want to look slimmer than your real body figure, kimono is the solution to your problem.

It can be used with everyday clothing. A simple pair of jeans and shirt could have a more sophisticated look if you put on a cardigan with it. But to successfully wear this look, you need to make sure that the under shirt is not too loose. The color is also important so that you would not look too over dressed.

The monochromatic theme of the jeans and the shirt will be countered delicately by the design of the kimono. If you want to wear something colored for the bottom, this is also possible as long as it does not clash with your upper outfit. This piece would give you a more relaxed look.

If you pair it with jeans or pants, you can have the option of wearing heeled shoes or flats depending on your mood. It would also depend heavily on where you are going and what you are going to do. Another option is combining the ensemble with a skirt. All kinds of skirt would match with this piece provided that it would not contrast with your kimono. This means that if you are going for this look, everything underneath it should be plain. You would let the cardigan do the styling and add the texture to the whole ensemble.

This piece would also look well over a dress. But you should also consider the look that you are aiming for when you decide to wear this over a dress. If you want to look chic, you need to a plain dress that is just enough to show all your curves.
