Kimmy Schmidt’s Colorful Clothes

Much like her character played by Ellie Kemper, Kimmy Schmidt’s costumes are bright and vibrant. The show’s costume designer Tina Nigro has stated in interviews that Kimmy’s looks are 1990s inspired since that was the last time she went shopping. Despite the super youthful colors, Kimmy still dresses like an adult. If you are looking to get the look—find separates in vibrant hues and don’t be afraid to mix and match. While Kimmy’s mix of pink and yellow may be a bit bold for everyday life, there is no shame in wearing pops of color year round.
