In this over-eager installment of the Fashion Crimes Podcast, Episode 191: "Top Kaftans and Kimono Picks," Holly Katz, our cherished personal stylist and beacon for fashion-forward women over 40, invites us on a vibrant journey through the world of kaftans and kimonos. #amazeballs Holly's adventure begins with a hilariously mandated kaftan outfit at a summer camp reunion with her girlfriends, sparking a refreshed admiration for these versatile garments. Inspired, she embarks on a mission to share her newfound favorites and styling tips, transforming our wardrobes with an infusion of fun and flair. LISTEN NOW: https://apple.co/2XXKHfC Follow on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/hollykatzstyling/ Key Elements of This Episode: 1. Kaftan Inspiration: Holly's initial spark of inspiration came from a unique requirement at a summer camp reunion: every attendee was to wear a kaftan for a themed "Mrs. Roper Night." This not only served as a nostalgic callback to Mrs. Roper’s iconic outfits from the sitcom "Three's Company" but also highlighted the timeless appeal and comfort of kaftans. Holly shared her newfound appreciation for kaftans, which led her to seek out various styles and brands, emphasizing their suitability for women of any age, seeking to add a fun, stylish, and comfortable piece to their wardrobe. For example, Holly was particularly taken by Isabella Rossellini’s Instagram post featuring a stunning Emilio Pucci kaftan, which represented the high-fashion potential of this garment. Additionally, Holly interviewed a Fashion Bestie, Jennifer, a self-proclaimed kaftan and anti-pants enthusiast, to share professional insights with her listeners. Jennifer reminisced about her style influences from sitcoms of the '70s and '80s and expressed a deep connection to kaftans for their comfort and the statement-making prints reminiscent of those decades. Also, why wear pants? This segment underlined kaftans' versatility, from loungewear to high-fashion statements, demonstrating their enduring appeal across generations. 2. Kimono Styling: While kaftans took center stage, Holly also shared her personal venture into the world of kimonos, considering them "kaftan-adjacent." She showcased the adaptability of kimonos, which can be styled over shorts, jeans, or even as a sophisticated overlay to swimsuits. For example, Holly mentioned her own BA&SH kimono, which she's treasured for years, illustrating how a well-chosen kimono can become a timeless piece in one's wardrobe. She encouraged her listeners to experiment with kimonos, citing their ability to elevate any outfit with an air of sophistication and chicness. Holly’s styling tips included pairing longer kimonos with a simple tank top and jeans for a casual yet polished look or draping them over swimwear for an effortlessly elegant beachside ensemble. 3. Wardrobe Maintenance: Holly’s lively discussion extended beyond kaftans and kimonos to address common "fashion crimes" related to wardrobe maintenance and closet organization. She shared anecdotes from her reunion weekend, where a peek into a friend’s closet revealed typical organizational mishaps, such as shoes scattered on the floor or clothes hanging inside out. Holly offered simple yet effective solutions like investing in a shoe rack to avoid clutter and rolling jeans instead of folding them to save space and make selection easier. She emphasized the psychological and practical benefits of an organized closet, where every piece is visible and accessible, thereby encouraging a more mindful and enjoyable dressing experience. Wrap-Up: Kaftans and kimonos are more than just fashion statements; they are embodiments of comfort, style, and individual expression. Episode 191 not only guides us through the enchanting world of these garments but also encourages us to embrace our unique styles and make every day a fashion opportunity. By listening and engaging with us on our...

Embrace the trend with a statement boot or a denim piece for that perfect blend of rugged and chic. Ballet Flats' Comeback: Yes, ballet flats are back and more stylish than ever. From mesh designs to patent Mary Janes, there's a flat for every fashionista looking to combine comfort with style this spring.

Fashion Besties!! As your favorite personal stylist and the best fashion friend you never knew you needed, I'm about to dish out some tough love on the fashion crimes lurking in your closet. P.S.: Don't forget to download, subscribe, and leave a review for the Fashion Crimes Podcast. As always, send to someone you know who needs some fashion help! Key Fashion Crimes in Your Closet That Can Hold You Back 1. Cheap Clothing: Clothes that are see-through, clingy, and look worse for wear after one wash aren’t doing you any favors. That bargain bin find might seem like a steal, but if it's showing every bump and lump, it's stealing your style instead. Opt for well-made pieces that flatter and last. 2. Shopping Backwards: When your shopping mantra is 'low price above all', you end up with a closet full of compromises, not clothes you love. Instead, focus on the perfect fit and quality that elevates your look. Sometimes, spending a bit more upfront saves you from a closet full of 'nothing to wear'. #TRUTH 3. Sale Rack Frenzy: We've all felt the thrill of the deal, but panic shopping in the sales section often leads to fashion missteps. Those items often end up unworn, with tags intact, living in the closet's shadowy corners. Break the cycle by shopping for what you need and love, not just because it's on sale. 4. Gift Clothing Guilt: From the ill-fitting sweater from your mother-in-law to the off-trend handbag gifted by a well-meaning friend, it's time to let it go. Direct your dear ones towards what you'd truly cherish which is suggestions of things that you actually want. Your wardrobe should be a reflection of you, not a collection of others' tastes. #YYYAAASSS 5. Wrong-Size Wardrobe: Clothes that don’t fit, be they too loose or snug, are relics of the past or wishes for the future. They can be psychologically cumbersome, implying you might revert to a former size. Celebrate your current shape by curating a wardrobe that fits and flatters you right now. Dress for the body you have today. 6. Ancient Attire: Even if it still fits, that decade-old dress likely doesn't reflect your current style or life. Our clothes should evolve with us, ensuring our wardrobe isn't stuck in a time warp. Regularly refresh your style to keep your look current and confident. Don't wait 10 or 15 years to shop. Then you're stuck in a style rut. 7. Sentimental Stockpile: Letting go of past purchases can be tough, especially when they're tied to memories or a significant cost. Use the backward hanger method to see what you're actually wearing. If it hasn't seen daylight in a year, it's time for it to serve someone else's story. #DONATE Join me next week for more style wisdom and wardrobe rehab. Until then, stay fabulous, stay stylish, and tackle that closet with confidence. Remember, you deserve the best wardrobe the universe has to offer... DON'T SETTLE and make sure your clothes bring you up, not down. - Holly Katz Personal Stylist, Podcast Host and Best-Selling Author Get in Touch: Have a fashion query or want to suggest a topic?

This Week's Highlights: Wedding Wins: As the step monster of the groom, the happy couple reigned suprime and so did Holly's dresses, let's be honest.

(Alcohol helps too). Make sure you hit up your Pinterest board for the week with all of the encore bridal style inspo you need. Encore Brides 101: When planning to celebrate your love in front of friends and fam again, Let's make it even better this time! Embrace the do-over and make this celebration scream 'you.'

A six to eight-month lead time is perfect for making sure you're absolutely in love with your choices. For the Guests: A shoutout to Jane, our loyal listener, who wanted to ask Holly if she liked a particular dress for a wedding she was going to attend in October. Shopping too early is a fashion crime. Don't. Do. It. If you do, believe me, it will lose it's luster. Wait for the invite before splurging on that perfect dress. Final Thoughts: Whether it's your wedding, or someone else's, remember, to use this opportunity to be the best-dressed wedding guest. Because that's what we are here at the Fashion Crimes Podcast. We are always the best dressed, especially at weddings. Fashion Crimes are out there BUT can be avoided. Here's to making every moment (and outfit) count.
