Kimono Tops Add Style & Sophistication to Any Outfit

And We’ve Got the Tips You Need to Start Wearing Them 

Looking to bring elements of style and sophistication, cool and confidence to any outfit in your closet? (Who isn’t, right?!) Try adding a kimono. These long, flowy, layering tops can be worn with just about any clothing combo — jeans and a T-shirt, shorts and a tank top, short dresses, long dresses, swim suit cover-up, over leggings . . . .

What’s great about a kimono is it creates a fun and flirty look while providing coverage for both your bum and upper arms at the same time.. Who doesn’t want that? Personally, we can’t resist them. Visit us at Union Furniture and Flooring, and you’re likely to see at least one of our staff wearing a kimono at any given time, especially this time of year. Because kimonos are typically made of lightweight material, they are perfect for all of your summer outfits, when a jean jacket or cardigan is too hot. Wear them to work, the winery, date night, Sunday brunch, church, bridal shower, bachelorette party, outdoor wedding, the lake or beach . . . really anytime you want to kick your style up a notch.

And the best part is wearing a kimono adds confidence. It will make you feel a little like a supermodel, and heads will turn. At least that’s been our experience.

If you need help in pulling together specific outfits, we have a few suggestions to keep it simple:

1.     For patterned kimonos, keep the clothes underneath a solid color.

2.     Try wearing colorful jeans or pants, preferably a slim fit to balance out the flowiness of the kimono.

3.     If you have a solid or color block kimono, wear a fun print on your top, bottom or dress to add interest.

4.     Add accessories to match the event — a wide brim hat or straw handbag for a day at the winery or beach, long necklaces for a wedding or dressy event, strappy sandals for your date night or Sunday brunch.

If you’re ready to try a kimono, we have a nice selection in the boutique right now. And the great thing is, one size fits all, so you don’t have to worry about us not having your size. Now, all you need to do, is call up some friends for a get-together or make a dinner reservation for your next date night.
