When the invitation says cocktail and the dress is sleeveless, a dressy kimono is the cover-up that improves the outfit instead of hiding it. Burnout velvet, sequin trims, lace, faux-fur collars and embroidered hems — these are kimonos made to be photographed.
The short kimono jacket is the wedding-guest and dinner favorite; the long embellished duster is the holiday-party piece; a velvet kimono over black trousers is the office-party answer that is still comfortable at eleven at night.
Finish with a sequin or beaded capelet for a formal evening, or pearl earrings when the kimono already sparkles.
By fabric: velvet kimonos · faux fur kimonos · special occasion. All kimonos.
What do you wear under a dressy kimono? A simple slip dress, a camisole with tailored trousers or a fitted column dress. Let the kimono be the one decorated piece. Is a black lace or velvet kimono appropriate for a wedding? Yes, over a solid dress in any color but white.
