Women's Kimonos & Wraps
Nothing here fastens the way a coat usually does. A tie, a wrapped sash or simply the way the front panels fall does the work, which is why the fit forgives far more than a tailored coat ever will. Kimono cuts drop straight from a wide, dropped shoulder with a loose, open sleeve, worn hanging free over a dress or belted at the waist to draw a line. Wrap styles cross one front panel over the other and are held by a self-belt, so how open the neckline sits depends on how far that panel is carried across.
Weight decides where each one lives. Fine silk and viscose versions layer over slip dresses and swimwear in warm weather, while felted wool, heavy knits and blanket-weight wraps stand in for a coat. Printed silk, devoré, embroidery and fringed edges sit at the decorative end, with plain crepe, jersey and brushed wool keeping it quiet.
