Looking to add flair and versatility to your wardrobe? A kimono might just be your new favourite go-to. At Kaftan 9, we love kimonos for their ability to elevate any outfit with minimal effort, while expressing personality and style.
💫 Why We Love Kimonos
Whether worn open over a simple top or wrapped with a belt for shape, kimonos add an effortless charm. They're lightweight, flowy, and ideal for layering—perfect for transitioning between seasons or dressing up a casual look.
💍 How to Accessorise Your Kimono
Whether you're going for a minimal, bold, or vibrant look, accessorising is key to elevating your kimono outfit. Add layered gemstone or boho-style jewellery—like beaded bracelets—for an earthy, free-spirited vibe that works for any occasion. To enhance your silhouette, consider adding a belt around the waist, especially when wearing a long kimono.
For outdoor events or sunny days, a wide-brimmed sun hat or Panama hat pairs beautifully with your kimono. Footwear matters too—choose flip-flops, sandals, clean white sneakers, or over-the-knee boots depending on the setting. Complete the look with a straw or neutral-toned handbag to keep your style cohesive. Just be mindful of your colour palette to let your kimono shine.
👗 How to Style Long and Short Kimonos
Styling both long and short kimonos can be fun and versatile. For a casual and flattering silhouette, wear yours with skinny jeans or wide-leg cropped pants. A one-tone tee, singlet, or strapless top underneath works perfectly to let the kimono’s print take centre stage.
Going for something relaxed? Try pairing a kimono with denim shorts for an easy, breezy outfit. For dressier moments, layer a long kimono over a maxi dress for a soft, flowing look—or throw it over a fitted dress for a bit of extra coverage and elegance. Want to add some edge? Leather pants make a bold contrast to the kimono’s fluidity.
If your kimono features vibrant colours or bold prints, let it be the statement piece by keeping the rest of your outfit neutral. Lastly, don’t forget you can also style your kimono as a chic swim cover-up. Worn over a bikini or one-piece, it’s the perfect way to turn heads at the beach or poolside.
🌸 Summary: Style It Your Way
For everyday wear: Throw a kimono over jeans and a tee to instantly upgrade your outfit.
For special occasions: Choose a bold print and pair with heels or statement jewellery for a standout look.
For comfort: Wear it around the house or to the beach—comfy never looked so chic!
