Ya’ll know by now I love a stylish, boho kimono. Some ladies call them a “duster.” Whatever you call them, I have found them to be such an easy wardrobe staple to match your personality, while adding some emphasis to your look with minimal effort. I tend to lean towards a boho kimono that has intricate details or luxe effects, to pair with an otherwise neutral look. Of course, it’s up to your confidence and comfort level to wear your kimono over clothing that meshes with your personality.
I have a couple of the very thin, flowy, lounge-wear kind of kimonos that are perfect to wear with swimsuits or over denim shorts and tank tops. I only use them for those types of occasions, so I stick to the fast-fashion styles for them.
By far, my favorite types are the kind I can layer over an all-denim look, over a sundress, or over a pair of slacks to “tighten” up and elevate my look, day or evening. Because it’s such a versatile, on-the-go piece, it’s one of my go-to items when I’m traveling. Side note: if you’re worried about wrinkles, by the way, you definitely need to get this travel steamer in your life if you haven’t already. Gamechanger!
This Anthro kimono-slash-duster (below), is my trendy head-turner. I love, love, love the ombre sequined design, and even though it feels a bit, “on-trend” I’ll wear it for years. Pictured is the rose colorway but the coral and the silver are equally stunning.
Typically, I don’t shop Etsy for clothes but when I spotted this breezy boho kimono, that was over. The color caught my eye, and I thought the silhouette was beautiful! I’ve ended up supporting lots of small designers on Etsy after realizing the awesome quality and styles I’d been missing out on.
A couple of Etsy finds also landed on my wish list. So chic and pretty, right?
If you are already about that boho, kimono life, please let me know one or two of your favorite ways to wear them. I need to know if I’m missing out! LOL. If not, I hope you are now inspired to take the leap!
This is also why dusters make so much sense to me for vacation style. They give you another look without taking up much room. And when the weather starts shifting, I use the same layering logic with my summer-to-fall transition pieces.
