Spicing up the Tee & Jeans Look

I can always rely on the jeans and tee combo to suit my style no matter the time of the year. And now I’m giving my suede and leather jackets and cardigans a little break to incorporate something new to go with my jeans and tee outfits. It’s the kimono.

Styling the Kimono

When something is as classic as jeans and a tee, it’s easy to get bored with it and crave something else to go with it and that’s where I’ve been lately. I’ve wanted to incorporate a little more color, print and whimsy into my typical uniform and a long colorful kimono worked perfectly.

I wore this look twice last week I loved the look so much and now I’m on the hunt for a couple more kimonos to incorporate into my summer wardrobe, and wear over a dress or tee/shorts.

Shop Kimonos

For a sheer floral kimono, I’m loving this cherry blossom kimono. And this Free People southwestern style kimono is just so effortlessly chic and just $48. This ASOS brown and white polka dot kimono can be used a beach cover up or wear over a tank and shorts (and it’s on sale.)

For a few under $30, this black and floral kimono has a side slit detail I love. I own a couple white kimonos and I love this white woven one from Target, super chic and minimal, plus it’s on sale. I’m thinking this striped textured kimono on sale for $24, might be my favorite. Love the stripes and texture on it!
