Fashion: Yes YOU Can...
…wear a kimono. Fashion Director Shelly Vella shows you how
I have to fess up to having an inordinate number of kimonos in my wardrobe. I love how extravagantly versatile they are. I’ll often wear a shorter one as a jacket, or a longer version to create an evening-worthy dress. And then there are the ones I save for the beach… Whatever your choice, they are always a figure-flattering friend and a statement piece for your wardrobe.
1. This floaty holiday must-have from anthropologie.com, £108, is lightweight and prettily printed 2. Short, sharp and belted, the ‘she means business’-style kimono 3. Longer-line kimonos look great loose and flowing or worn belted as a dress
