KIMONOS: HOW TO STYLE

This slinky, robe-style jacket is a fashion must … but if you’re ready to make the look work at more places than just the beach, read on.

We personally love them for their elegant silhouette, and the thousands of styles, fabrics and lengths you can find them in. But once you’ve found your kimono, how oh how should you wear it? From beach to bar, we’ve styled this Summer wardrobe essential every way possible and picked out a few buys that might catch your fancy.

WEAR: WITH DENIM

For the easiest, carefree summer outfit stray no further from denim and a basic tee. From jeans to shorts to denim skirts, a layered kimono (short or long) will add the perfect amount of flowy and ethereal to take your casual geddup to the next level.
