How to wear a kimono with everyday clothes

Three straightforward ways to work a printed kimono into the clothes you already own.

Sparkling Jade kimono

Start with a simple base

A white T-shirt and jeans give a printed kimono room to stand out. Keep the rest of the outfit familiar rather than trying to match every colour in the fabric. Sparkling Jade is a useful starting point: let the green become the main colour, with denim or neutral trousers underneath.

Wear the kimono open first. This makes it easier to see how the front panels sit and whether the proportions work with your chosen trousers.

Change one thing for the evening

You do not need a different outfit underneath. Swap the T-shirt for a plain camisole, or put the kimono over a simple dress. Seafoam Grace works particularly well with light neutrals; Golden Petal offers a warmer contrast.

If your base layer has a print too, try standing back from the mirror. One stronger pattern and one quieter layer are often easier to combine than two equally busy designs.

Make the shape work for you

Try different trouser widths and lengths with the same kimono. A straight leg keeps the outline clean, while a wide leg gives the whole outfit more movement.
