Shinesty Buffalo Plaid Kimono Review

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received this product free from Shinesty in return for my honest opinion. You can find my blog's full disclaimer & Privacy Policy HERE.


Shinesty contacted me a few months back about their matching family Christmas line. They recently contacted me again about testing out a product of my choice. 

Now you may be wondering what this clothing company has to do with a mommy blog, well guess what holiday is right around the corner... Mother's Day! Mothers love clothes and gifts from their loved ones and what better gift to give that special mom in your life than a Kimono.

Picture mom relaxing with a hot cup of coffee or tea in her new Kimono... can you picture it? I mean what mom isn't going to love a gift that is telling her it's okay to be lazy?!

I've personally never been huge on Kimonos aka a formal robe and the only Kimonos I own are more like cover ups so I decided to give the Shinesty Kimono a try. 

The Kimonos come in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. I asked for a S/M and unfortunately was shipped a L/XL so I feel like the Kimono swallows me but it still gets it's job done.

My first impression of the Kimono was the bold pattern. I chose the Buffalo Plaid Kimono because I loved the pattern and it is gender neutral, like most of their patterns, so my husband can wear it if he ever chooses to.

The buffalo plaid is definitely bold and still stands out when paired with a buffalo plaid blanket I already had. It will make for some nice camouflage when playing hide & seek with the kids.

My second impression was the material. I loved the thick, silky feel of the Kimono. It is made from 97% Polyester & 3% Spandex. The Kimono appears to be made very well. It definitely does not feel cheap which is awesome since it is priced around $69. At that price it better be made good!

There are several ways you can tie your Kimono - on the side, center, or even in the back. I had to tie mine tight because of the size and material, it liked to come undone.

You can also leave your Kimono open, tied in the back and pair it with jeans or shorts for a more casual look.

Depending on the size and pattern you choose, you may even be able to get your husband to wear it if you ask nicely or you could just buy a matching set and be one of those cute matching couples.

Shinesty has a variety of items for both men and women from dresses to swim suits to blazers, overalls, underwear and more! They have outfits for almost every occasion/theme from Christmas to St. Patricks Day to Mardi Gras. They even have sports team apparel.

Their bold patterns and prints are sure to stand out amongst the crowd as Shinesty's goal is "To bring you the most outlandish collection of clothing the world has ever seen." and they don't disappoint. 

Shinesty sticks to their theme of adult humor throughout their website, emails and even their packaging has a sense of humor to it. Their humor may not be everybody's cup of tea but if you can over look it, their products are actually nice.
