9 of the Best Ways to Wear a Velvet Kimono or Duster

This is the fourth in a series of posts on how to add a touch of luxury to your outfits with velvet. Previously, I wrote a style tip and how to style a velvet jacket or top. You can find those subjects linked at the bottom of this post along with another that I wrote for my Holiday Series (HERE.) I have gotten lots of positive feedback on my kimono outfit ideas (HERE) so I know that kimonos are popular. Age doesn’t matter! First of all, kimonos and dusters cloak your body in comfort. Secondly, they’re that all-important third piece that takes a basic two-piece outfit from plain to spectacular effortlessly. Ultimately that makes them a go-to item for the holidays, whether you have a special event or you just want to feel festive at home. So with all that goodness in mind, let’s take a look at nine of the best ways to wear a kimono or duster.

9 of the Best Ways to Wear a Kimono or Duster

You can wear a kimono or duster over any top and bottom. This makes it easy to dress up whatever you have on. It doesn’t matter if:  a) you want to look special for somewhere you’re going, or b) you just feel bored with an outfit and want to make it more interesting.

Here are nine outfit ideas:

Wear It with a Dress

1. Holiday:  A maxi dress + a velvet duster. You might like to add gold jewelry for extra elegance.
2. A dress + a velvet kimono.
3. A velvet kimono or blazer + a velvet dress. Add a pendant.

Wear It with a Skirt

1. A velvet duster over a similar-color graphic t-shirt + a toned tiered skirt or a long skirt in a special fabric. Add boots. You might like to add a narrow scarf or animal-print accessory.
2. A long-sleeve t-shirt tucked into a faux leather skirt + a velvet kimono. Add boots.
3. A blouse + a velvet skirt + a velvet kimono or duster.

Wear It with Pants or Jeans

1. A white tee or tank + blue jeans + a velvet duster or kimono. Add heels and maybe some delicate gold necklaces.
2. A velvet duster or kimono + a sweater + skinny jeans of any color. Add blat ankle boots + a pendant + a shorter strand of crystals.
3. A gray graphic tank or tee + a gray/silver duster or kimono + blue jeans + booties. You could use any color duster with a matching color tee, graphic or not.

So there you have it, as easy as 1,2,3:

1. three ways to wear a kimono or duster with a dress,
2. three ways to wear it with a skirt, and
3. three ways to wear it with pants or jeans.
