The Kimono Jacket - Longchamp Team Spirit Fall-Winter 2024
What is the next must-have item in the war- drobes of Parisians fashionistas? Longchamp’s kimono jacket! This piece, inspired by the traditional Japanese garment, has all the potential to become the star of our new Fall-Winter 2024 collection.
Who hasn’t dreamed of a garment that can adapt to any style? This kimono jacket is first and foremost a statement piece due to its time- lessness. It is a long-term investment and brings versatility to outfits.
Even though Parisians are already fans of its design, Longchamp’s kimono jacket, with its universally appealing look, was created to travel across the globe. With its wide sleeves tapered at the cuffs, rounded edges and highly identifiable collar, it exudes a natural chic that comple- ments all silhouettes and situations. It’s simply a matter of styling it right to seamlessly transition from the office to a restaurant or from a day of shopping to an evening with a dress code.
How to wear it? The possibilities are endless. It proves to be a great ally for work attire: simply cinch it with a belt, pair it with a turtleneck, jeans, and boots. For a more casual vibe, leave it open over a sweater with matching trousers and stylish sneakers. For a refined touch, wear it open over a satin or lace top, rivaling a tuxedo jacket. It exudes glamour if worn directly over the skin with a wide belt, a pencil skirt and high heels. Whether relaxed or glamorous but always chic, this kimono jacket is poised to become an essential piece that will undoubtedly hold its place beyond this season.
It’s worth noting that this kimono jacket is more than just another piece in your wardrobe. It shares the same characteristics as the iconic Le Pliage®: its origami-like nature allows it to be easily rolled up in a suitcase or bag. Its fabric doesn’t wrinkle. As it is lightweight, it can easily layer over bulky winter sweaters or slip under a heavy puffer coat. Its possibilities are limit- less, especially considering it comes in several colors (black, navy, bordeaux, orange, and green). Finally, in addition to its unique design, it is environmentally conscious as it is made from recycled polyester.
Inspired by a historic garment, this new version of the kimono jacket embodies more than ever, a truly modern style.
