To be honest, we weren’t sure about this trend at first. Wouldn’t we look like we were wandering around in fancy dressing gowns? However, having seen friends looking extremely chic in pretty, summery kimono jackets for both evening drinks and casual workwear, we’ve had to eat our words!
Short, midi, maxi, fringed, lace, monochrome, jewel-toned – there’s a style to suit everyone in this gorgeously flexible trend. Whether you decide to wear your’s as an alternative to a summer blazer, over a bikini on the beach, or as a smart update to your work wardrobe, here are our top kimono picks.
