Kat Graham Introduces the New Off-the-Shoulder Jacket Trend

Just when we thought the over-the-shoulder denim jacket was over, Kat Graham breathes new life into the trend.

The Vampire Diaries star was spotted on the streets of Paris Fashion Week, wearing a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier dress to attend the show. She complemented the look with a Gucci bag. However, all we could see was the kimono-like coat she wore to keep warm. It wasn't the fact that the robe was multi-textured or multi-colored that caught our eye, it was the way the actress and singer styled it, draping it over one shoulder, only to leave the other exposed. The garment's thick, sage-green belt tied the whole look together above the chest, acting almost like a statement necklace rather than a wrap. 

Kat just inspired a fresh, new way to wear a classic piece that may only be reserved for the bedroom. To edge up the look, opt for a kimono in an abstract print, rather than florals, and pair it with a simple, strapless LBD so that only a peek of skin shows. For a more casual take, try a strapless top with leggings or skinny jeans. Because kimonos tend to be long, high heels will lengthen the look.
