Would you wear a duster cardigan wrap?

I bought this long flowy duster cardigan wrap a couple of years ago and I am not sure if it is a hit or a miss? How many of you wear the long cardigan duster style? Let me know in the comments below.

It is a super cute look but is it for me?

I kind of feel like Joseph’s coat of many colors when I have it on haha. Does it come across as that to you? I want this outfit to come across as more of an elegant casual look for a gal over 50….ok a gal over 60 😉

What I like about the duster cardigan wrap

Duster cardigans are perfect for summer because they are lightweight and allow you to layer without getting hot. They cover your arms and shoulders and yet make you feel elegant almost like you are wearing a fancy dress. You can wear them over dresses, jeans and even shorts.

I do have a long cardigan sweater that I love to wear in the fall and the winter.

I really like the red tassel trim on this particular duster cardigan wrap. These long cardigans are also known as a kimono.

How to style duster cardigan wrap

For my outfit I started with a white t-shirt and white jeans. I actually styled the cardigan two different types of white jeans.These are my favorites! Jcrew boyfriend all day stretch with rips over the knees and Jcrew cropped raw hem jeans.

Keeping the all white look underneath creates a longer leaner look. Topping off the all white look with the bright red patterned cardigan duster brings a feminine Bohemian look.

Which pair of jeans do you like best with the duster? I am thinking I like the cropped raw hemmed jeans the best.

Shoes and Accessories

Wearing some fun studded flat sandal brings in a little bling. I think a little bit of bling for this outfit is appropriate and not over done.

Don’t you agree?

For the jewelry I am wearing a long necklace with a little wooden circle and a stone. Natural looking jewelry works great for this bohemian style.

My earrings are fun natural earrings. These would be called statement earrings because they are a bit bigger than normal. I really love this type of earring.

A small straw shoulder bag is the finishing touch. Not too big or bulky just a little texture for the outfit.

    I love this look, and it looks fabulous on you. You know why? Not only is it a nice look, but you wear it with confidence, and THAT is what makes it fabulous! I have a few of these, and the only thing I try to do is find them a tad shorter for my petite frame, unless I plan on wearing taller heels (which is getting less and less). This is a signature look for one of my purse friends in CA, who is also a dealer of vintage clothing, handbags and jewelry. She finds the most awesome Asian kimonos!

    I have been going through the same dilemma. I bought one and felt a little frumpy in it, but when I put on some sandals with some height, it elongated me and gave a more elegant look. I wish mine had the tassels though. They are not out-dated. Very much coming back in! And I agree… the raw hemmed jeans are best.

    I like the flat sandals with this outfit. The tassels aren’t for me, but they suit your overall look so they’re ok. It’s a great look!

    I like the red print, but I’d prefer it to stop at mid-thigh. I wouldn’t buy anything with those tassels on the bottom.

    I really like your style choices, and the duster is great! Personally, I would pick a duster in a blue, if available. You seem to always make wonderful suggestions, so I love reading your blog! I have to say I love, love, love your hairdo, and so I’m trying to style mine similarly!

    I like the flat sandals best with it. I would wear it if you cut off those dated tassels…unless it’s a Mexican themed party. Otherwise, just tacky. The duster without the tassels is adorable.

        I think the duster is a hit! I have a similar kimono style and I wear mine over white as well. I like either white jeans, I think it just depends on the occasion & what you’ll be doing and feeling. I think the tassels are super fun!! A great little unexpected detail with a great BoHo vibe. I love your fashion posts; keep them coming. XO- MaryJo
