Jazzing Up an Everyday Look – How to Style a Long Kimono
Hii! Another week is just flying by. Between being sick and getting a puppy (he has seriously stolen my heart), this week has been busyyyy. I have been super antsy to get back into my usual routine… On the bright side, I am honestly so excited the sun peeped out again this week. Getting more into spring trends, this kimono/duster is one of my favorite pieces in my closet at the moment. I just want to wear it all the time, so I had to figure out different looks and how to style a long kimono.
Duster jackets were super on trend all fall and winter, but you don’t need to retire the look just yet. Once your duster jacket becomes too heavy for the warmer weather, just replace it with a long kimono. There are so many ways to style a long kimono and dress it up or down.
Here’s how to style a long kimono
+ With a bodysuit and shorts. Now that it’s almost time for festival season, a long kimono is a great accessory to pair with your outfit. Layer on all the chunky, crazy jewelry you can find.
+ With a crop top and trousers. If you’re already wearing a loose, flowy kimono, don’t be afraid to bare a little midriff and pair with trousers or some sleek black denim. Very Kardashian esque. It’s great to balance the looseness of the robe with something more form fitting underneath.
+ With flared denim and round sunnies for a 70’s inspired look.
+ Over a swimsuit. Kimonos make fantastic swimsuit cover ups.
+ With jeans and a tee. I kept it simple here, because my day to day style is very simple. I’m all about no fuss, throw on and go outfits.
I absolutely adore this House of Harlow long maxi robe. The print caught my eye instantly and it’s just so easy to wear. I threw it on over these super comfy GRLFRND jeans (if you’re on the fence about their denim, totally go for it because they are just the bomb) and a graphic tee (“the future is female“).
Okay now I’m off to play with the pup – and sip an apple lemon triple ginger (<< the best if you’re fighting a cold/flu!) juice before dinner!

I can’t wait for warmer weather so I can wear lighter layers! I love the way you’ve styled the kimono. Makes me think of summer adventures and music festivals.

Stunning!! Thank you so much for the styling tips! I always loved maxi kimonos and maxi duster cardigans, but I’m afraid to wear them because I have short legs and they can drag down my silhouette…
Much love <3
