September is fashion season. Mercedes Benz Fashion Week just wrapped up in New York City and now we fly over to London Fashion Week. The Japanese Kimono trend last season focused on the free flowing silk wraps and we’ve seen those all over the streets but next season, we’re seeing thicker fabrics with more structured and geometric designs. The biggest fashion statement of all though is the Obi belt. It seems to be the one accessory that designers can’t get enough of and is showing up even in hair (yes hair). The Obi belt is traditionally worn over the Kimono and tying it properly is an art form in itself. With its versatility to be worn over dresses or pants, it’s the one style accessory for SS15 that is worth investing in.
Here are a few of our favorite Obi belt looks from SS15 and where to find your own!
