Also, Style By A Fake Fish!!

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono. Today I am sharing a few from the heatwave we had a few weeks ago. So I overheard someone in the hair dresses last week saying that we are going to have a hot September and October?

Also, I hope this is true!? I am not ready to let go of Summer just yet.

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono. Catch Of The Day Or Maybe OOTD: Style By A Fake Fish!! When I reached 40, five years ago I gave up short, shorts.

Five years, 2 dress sizes higher later I have purchased some more with the heatwave.

I can not believe how much I loved wearing them. I am hoping the hot weather returns again this year so I can wear them again.

Catch Of The Day

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono:

Wear What You Love!!

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono. A stylish and current outfit can be created by wearing shorts and a kimono. The versatility of this pairing offers countless style options, whether you’re going for a more casual or formal combo.

Embrace happiness and wear what you like and don’t listen to articles telling you what you can and can’t wear this and you can’t wear that after 40. Rip the rule book up and enjoy stamping on it.

Over 40 style

Perfecting The Art Of Styling Shorts And Kimono:

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono. There are countless ways to style shorts and kimono outfits. You may create gorgeous and adaptable outfits that are appropriate for any occasion by balancing lengths, blending patterns, tightening with a belt, selecting complementing colours, and accessorising intelligently.

To truly make the outfit your own, keep in mind to have fun with your styling decisions and embrace your particular style.

Next fashion item to feel confident in again, skinny jeans!! Might have to lose a few pounds for that one though!?

Try Out Mixing Patterns And Textures. Wearing shorts with a kimono gives you the chance to play around with different patterns and textures.

Try out different prints, such floral, geometric, or animal prints, and think about wearing them with shorts in plain colours. Or vice versa.

Similarly, you can experiment with contrasting textures by wearing crochet shorts with a light, airy kimono or denim shorts with a silk kimono.

Think About Balancing The Lengths:

How To Pair Shorts With A Kimono.

Think About Balancing The Lengths On You Clothing. If you want to put together an ensemble that looks well, think about balancing the lengths of your kimono and shorts.

You should choose a longer kimono that hangs below your hips if your shorts are shorter. A shorter kimono can give an outfit with longer shorts or Bermuda-style bottoms a well-balanced appearance.

Have fun trying different outfits on to see which style you like best.

    Such a cute outfit. I love that you tied the kimono and the darker wash of those denim shorts is perfect. Looking great and amazing photos, too. =)

    You are totally rocking those shorts! We had two weeks of cool/ fall like weather and now it’s supposed to be very very hot for the next week or two. I’m torn between wanting fall to arrive and for summer to last just a bit longer.

    It feels a lot cooler for us in the morning and it does remind me of Autumn. I love it but I know it’ll be quite some time before it gets cold. I am in no rush because I understand loving something and wanting to make it last just a bit longer. So I will patiently wait for Autumn that way you can enjoy a bit more warmth and heat! Looking fabulous in shorts Claire and I really do like your kimono. The floral print really stands out with the black background color. Awesome photo bomber you got there! Happy Monday!

    You look great in these shorts, Claire! I had given up on short shorts in my 30’s after I had kids but I started wearing them again in my 40’s, too. This outfit is summer perfection! Pretty much exactly what I have been wearing all summer…short shorts and a kimono. Fabulous, my friend!
