Choose Your Robe Prints And Colors Wisely

Play up your coloring and skin tone in shades that suit you best and are your favorites.

Don’t get stuck in a drab shade when you can wear a bold turquoise, fuchsia, red, or emerald silk kimono robe.

  • If you love neutrals try a shimmering champagne, silvery grey, or sparking white robe
  • Try candy colored pastels if you prefer a softer, more romantic look
  • Or, pick a printed silk robe in a pattern that you love

Knowing that you’re slipping into a robe in your favorite shade will take your look from simple to stunning and will make you feel special.

The Design Reflects The Season

Kimono robes are normally worn over a single layer of lingerie undergarments, and are highly symbolic. 

  • Cherry blossoms, birds, or butterflies are worn during the spring season
  • Flowing water designs are worn in the summer
  • Fall leaves or Japanese maple trees are appropriate during the fall season
  • Plum blossoms or pine trees are usually worn during the winter months

Pair It With Beautiful Lingerie

Even the most beautiful kimono robe will look lackluster and fall flat if you wear ratty old pajamas underneath.

  • Instead, pair the robe with your other lingerie favorites for an all over look that will make you feel gorgeous
  • Try a silk chemise underneath, a camisole and tap pants, your favorite bra and underwear, or a cotton nightshirt in the most luxurious fabric you can find

Pairing your kimono with other special lingerie will always make you look irresistible and utterly gorgeous.

Shibori

Some expensive kimonos are also decorated using shibori, a Japanese tie-dye technique that often appears in tandem with custom hand-painted lingerie and intimate apparel.

Shibori is an elaborate and difficult technique requiring many hours to execute correctly, making these luxury robes among the most expensive.

Take Time To Look Great

The secret to looking like a goddess in any lingerie is setting aside a few extra minutes to pay attention to your whole look.

Go from head to toe and make sure your hair is brushed, your legs are shaved, your face is softly made up, and your skin is silky and moisturized with your favorite lotion or body oil.

These simple steps will make you feel beautiful, confident, and absolutely stunning in any intimate apparel that you choose to wear.
