I can’t get enough of these roomy tops that double as dresses. These kimono tops flatter all body types are so easy to wear. They come in both printed and solid farbic, short or long sleeves, and are usually cinched at the waist. You can belt it, sash it, wear it alone, or over jeans, leggings, capris.

I’m loving the Zara tops!

is kimono tops fine with pear shape and round shape body type? m on the chubby type kasi, just given birth 3 months ago. Kasi parang naisip ko lang na parang mas lalo akong tataba sa kimono tops na which is uso ngaun…….
what yah think?

sis, she said that it flatters all body types. i guess, we just have to take her word/judgement. though i think you have to be more choosy in the prints of the kimono tops you would buy. i think if you are a chubby type, avoid large prints, like flowers and the like. i think it would be nicer to wear plain kimono tops to give u more slender silhouette.

hello maida! thanks for your advice, i appreciate it.
May 23rd, 2007 at 4:11 pm
kimono tops suit full-bodied women more. i’m skinny and kimono tops makes me look even skinnier.
May 23rd, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Hi miggz! I agree with Maida. You have to try it on first, then use your own judgement. The fabric and print has a lot to do with the way it looks on your body.
Hi Anonymous — I guess it depends what you’re trying to achieve. I thought even skinny women (like nicole richie, lindsay lohan) want to look skinnier!

I love the #2 Zara Kimono Top
Lots of Kimono Tops are also sold at Goldcrest…
May 23rd, 2007 at 7:00 pm
I love the People Are People print. It looks like something you’d find at Anthropologie, at a fraction of the price!
Lara, are the kimono tops sold in Goldcrest made of good material (i.e. not thin Bangkok type of cotton)?
May 23rd, 2007 at 8:05 pm
where is Goldcrest?

would anyone know if there are kimono tops in St. Francis Square? what floor and how much?
May 24th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
totally love these.
the ones in MINT store are way cheaper… less than 1000… there are around 600s, 700s, and very nice fabric! such show the curves for a sexier look!
May 24th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Will kimono tops also work for petite girls like myself?
May 24th, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Nice Tops I really love the prints very nice and retro. Hope you can display more of this and of course more cheaper.
May 24th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
i think kimono tops work on petite ones if they fall just below the knees
May 24th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
is it good to wear kimono tops for weddings?
May 25th, 2007 at 10:27 am
The Zara tops and no. 9 are my faves. However, I’m bothered by the low necklines of Kimono tops, I don’t want to show cleavage… haha… nevermind, it’s just me. =)
May 25th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
if showing off your cleavage makes you uncomfortable, try putting a tube blouse underneath. I do it when i need to project a bit conservative look. hehe..
May 25th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
I’m preggy and I dont like wearing maternity blouses. Will the kimono work for me? I could just tie it above my tummy right? hehehe just wondering.
May 25th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
May: i envy you!!! i think kimono tops are PERFECT as preggy cloths. some maternity top designs are so “old” style–this makes you a cool, preggy mom! i wish i was preggy again
May 25th, 2007 at 6:48 pm
hey guys:) i was just in 168 mall this morning…and i couldnt believe it that i was able to buy a kimono top there for only 500..so cheap but nice designs guys..the saleslady said its from bangkok..im so happy with my purchase and dosent make me look fat:)
May 25th, 2007 at 8:36 pm
that’s nice angeline, wish I could go to there too and try some kimonos. (:
May 27th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
they’re great paired with long antique necklaces.I already bought one and i really like it.
May 28th, 2007 at 4:04 am
i got one the other day. and it’s interesting to note that when my mom planned on having a garage sale, i stole her old kimono top from the racks and now it’s back in style. =D
May 28th, 2007 at 9:36 am
hi ya all..
i agree, clothing fashion usually are paulit ulit, thats why we all have to keep all our old fashionista clothes, coz b4 we know it..its the trend again
May 28th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
if i wear one over jeans, do they have to be skinny or can the pair be bootleg? and do u wear them with flats? hee! thanks!
May 28th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
hey abbey!i already wore one with bootlegs and they make a great pair! and with flats too! but im on the petite side so the kimono top should be above the knee to make my legs look longer even with my flats!Love them!
May 30th, 2007 at 1:06 am
as usual over pricing nanaman ang zara
May 30th, 2007 at 4:19 am
i love the kimono top from people are people, sana lang merong store that will sell at around P500 or less $500. i know am a cheap ass but cheaper is better, but i still consider the quality of the product, if you know a store pls tel me nlang. hopefully here in south or in makati.
May 30th, 2007 at 9:18 am
hey! i just want to ask where in Jupiter st. is Dona Consolacion bldg locateD? The building is near what establishment/landmark? thanks
May 30th, 2007 at 5:07 pm
hiya OBmd! =) thanks so much for your reply. you’re right. im petite also.. so im definitely getting one above the knees =)
May 30th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
I like also the kimono of Zara. Its expensive nga lng. But if you want cheaper, i recommend 168. Just choose a design that is not common sa lahat ng stall.
June 1st, 2007 at 4:02 pm
I just bought a silky kimono top from mimi’s, a stall at powerplant, and it look so expensive but the price is cheap. they have a lot of selection & fabric to choose from.
June 2nd, 2007 at 4:01 pm
yeah. the ones in rockwell is also one of a kind and sold at a cheap price. with good quality of materials and nice designs. must check it out.

June 3rd, 2007 at 2:40 am
oh yeah, i have a question, is the number 7 top from people are people still available?
June 7th, 2007 at 10:55 am
Forever 21 has a lot of nice Kimono tops too. I bought mine way back in January of this year from their store in Las Vegas….but the Philippine stores might have them too.
But the best shop where I usually get mine is from Zara.
June 13th, 2007 at 3:22 am

i just came back from abroad and i’ve seen the zara fall/winter 07 collection! prepare for a kimono overload :-p
i also found some kimono tops from a multiply site, and they’re really pretty
very similar to those i got in zara!
August 19th, 2007 at 1:17 am
What goes with these tops? Leggings? Slim fit jeans? What about shoes, heels? flats? Help!
April 28th, 2008 at 12:56 am
I have a question about People are people. I’m going to the Philippines later and I’m going to stay in Bacolod. Can I find People are people in SM mall in Bacolod City?
