How to Style a Kimono for Fall

Guess what, guys!  Your favorite trend from the summer can be worn right on into fall.  We all fell in love with kimonos, or, more specifically, kimono cardigans, this summer.  We wore them with cut offs, we wore them as swimsuit coverups, we wore them as robes (probably.  I wouldn’t know anything about that).  Just when you thought that you were going to need to box these babies up, you learn how to style your kimono for fall.  The key?  For one, fall colors.  But that doesn’t mean that florals are out.  The maroon and navy in this one just say fall to me.  I have a floppy fedora hat that matches the maroon perfectly, but I’ll be honest, it’s still way too hot for me to go full on fall. On cooler days though, a hat would be a great addition to this look.  Other items that are sure to give you a perfect kimono-inspired fall pairing include: booties (duh!), denim, and fringe!  Use these tips and you will achieve fall perfection every. single. time.
