Can you help me, please, on choosing and styling what will be my first ever kimono jacket? I've looked at all the gorgeous WIWs from previous seasons, and you are inspirational! Also Angie has a fabulous post http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/.....no-jacket/ that I recommend for others who stumble upon my post.
I'm choosing between a knee length or a waist length style. Most of the history WIWs are the shorter length, and my first choice was to buy (keep) the shorter blue Find seen below. I wouldn't be sitting on it in my desk chair and it wouldn't be seen as "trying too hard" at the office. (I work in a creative environment so, really, either would be appropriate.)
Then my sidebar ads, wherever I go, keep tempting me with this longer kimono jacket. And it's just so pretty. I'm 5'8" and built reasonably athletic / slender shoulders with an apple tending waistline. I think with my body type I could pull off the longer length. (The apple waistline is a gonna be a thing, in either length...grey instead of white t is my camouflage trick.)
What are your thoughts about styling kimono jackets for 2015?
Please post pics if you have them! I love drawing from your experiences.
