You Don’t Have to be Nicole Richie to Wear a Kimono Jacket

Jun 17, 2014
You Don’t Have to be Nicole Richie to Wear a Kimono JacketKimono jackets are all but synonymous with Nicole Richie, the celeb designer behind Winter Kate. Her collection of bohemian clothing was inspired by trends from the ‘60s and ‘70s, so the kimonos are flowery and fringed, styled with distressed cutoffs, crop tops, and felt hats. At a glance, they give off a strong “I just got back from Coachella” vibe—but that’s not the only way to wear them. We’ve paired this ASOS kimono with three outfits for three summer settings. you-dont-have-to-be-nicole-richie-to-wear-a-kimono-jacket_600c490 Kimono in print with border; ASOS ($85.74) Barbecue Party (top): The floral romper is one part of a fetching power-clash with the kimono.
