Cute Kimonos: Summer’s Hot Trend

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.

Pretty prints

Add a splash of heat to your outfit with bold, bright prints – a perfect summer alternative to cardigans and jackets.
Missguided Nitya Tropical £19.99
Oasis Buttefly Blossom £40

Boho romance

Pair fringing and lace with tousled hair, denim shorts and a floppy hat for effortless boho cool.
South Beach £34   
River Island £28

Monochrome chic

We love these for workwear – pair with skinnies and ballet flats for a casual, professional look.
New Look Aztec £24.99
Warehouse Ombre £45

Maxi beach perfection

Floaty, maxi-length kimonos make a pretty, modern update to the traditional beach sarong – and they’re perfect for lightweight packing!
Missguided Anastacia £19.99
Asos Bold Floral £50

So there you have it – our top kimono picks!
