Here are three tips on how to pull-off a kimono cardigan successfully.

1. Let your Kimono be the celebrated piece in your outfit, if it's printed pair it with solids.
2. Never team it up with a skirt or dress. The oversized piece works better with separates, such as shorts, pants or leggings.
3. When you’re choosing a pant or a jean keep the shape slim and streamlined. You don't want the volume of the kimono to compete with anything.
