Bohemian From Dusk Till Dawn

Bohemian From Dusk Till Dawn

The kimono has inspired the fashion hit of the year after making its way from Japan, via the beach and music festivals, to British high streets and onto the Pakistani fashion radar. With high temperatures this year, the light and loose-fitting jackets have been flying off the shelves at stores with sales boosted by the appearance of a number of statement makers dressed in the Japanese-style garment.

They really are a world-wide sensation these days and are sure here to stay. Recently, the British retail chain New Look revealed that it had been selling 40,000 kimonos a week, becoming the most desirable fashion piece of the year.

Swingy, loose and often adorned with embroidery and tassels, they perfectly capture that free-spirited vibe and effortless look we channel in this part of the world. They are an uber-chic way of covering up without having to try too hard. As much as we love blazers and chunky summer cardigans, it’s time to embrace the breezy, barely-there brilliance of a kimono.

A kimono is that versatile piece of clothing that is appropriate for all age ranges from little girls and teenagers to the kitty party aunties. Needless to say, this fashion trend can be styled in many different ways to achieve different looks – from the beach to the office to a formal dinner, there isn’t anywhere you can’t take a kimono.

For a luxurious and dressed up look, kimonos can be styled with a silky kameez and stilettos or with a formal top and wedge heels. A printed tasseled kimono with a black jumpsuit is the epitome of chic and should be your go-to look for the next night out.

The kimono fashion trend can be dressed down to match the laid back season’s carefree vibes. Instantly lift your outfits ante by throwing in a kimono over a plain tee and jeans – get an effortless boho meets edgy look. Regardless of its cut it will always add just the right amount of razzmatazz to any look; even if you’re at home, in your dirty pyjamas, throwing on a kimono will inevitably make you look fab while having coffee.
