(Note: It is not baller to let your white ankle sock show, I know).
A muumuu, a kaftan... call it what you will. The point is:
no one will know whether or not you're wearing underpants. We've seen similar garments on the runway and in the Walmart, (If your from a small town you call it THE Walmart) and if you're like me you have fantasized about wearing this pajama-like garment in public and doing it with PAZAZZ. The question that begs to be answered is,
how do you style a muumuu?
I'm sure many people are appalled at the thought of wearing what is normally considered to be house lounging clothing in public. I however, am a big fan of this look for several reasons.
A. I already mentioned the underpants thing.
B. It's a breath of fresh air to any wardrobe and social situation
C. The cat lady/eccentric weirdo implications.
D. Comfort factor is turned up to 11.
Things to keep in mind when rockin' this roomy garment HARD:
- Attaining a muumuu and/or Kaftan is relatively simple. As I've mentioned before in this post, you
can find one Ross Dress for Less, or in this case with less, ya know, since you won't be
wearing underpants.
- Avoid the silkier materials if you're going for a wallet friendly muumuu. Cheap silky materials tend
to look tacky particularly when they are adorned with bold patterns.
- Rounded toe ballet flats are too easy with a look like this. If you want to wear a shoe you
can slip on, consider something with more of a pointed toe
- Biker jackets add edge for a less beachy more urban vibe.
- You could always go super 70's with a scarf or turban on your noggin and radical curls.
- In the summer time, don't be scared of a giant hat. Especially if you're close to a beach!
-
A bold lip color will remind people that you are aware you are not in your pajamas.
I'm wearing Elf lip stain. Elf is super cheap and cruelty-free.
- I would avoid anything too overly beaded. You might teeter on the edge of costume-y. Wear
And then there's this one:
