Lightweight, flirty and ultra feminine, the kimono trend is popping up everywhere this season. From the office, to a casual lunch date, to a weekend at the beach, this effortlessly versatile piece should be a staple in every woman's closet. No matter where your plans take you this summer, it can all be fashionably done while sporting a cute kimono.
Casual lunch date
Running errands and meeting up with the girls for lunch can be done comfortably and in style, ladies. A flowy, floral kimono dresses up a pair of cropped distressed denim jeans and a plain white top, so your can effortlessly pull off a chic yet casual look. Just throw on a pair of sandals or your favorite peep-toe wedges, and you just created the ultimate daytime summer ensemble.
A day at the office
Keeping your office outfit trendy yet professional during the summer can sometimes be a challenge. The heat can be unbearable, and the last thing you want to wear is a heavy suit or any uncomfortable fabric that will leave you sweating like a fiend. A kimono is a great option to have on hand, because it not only dresses up the outfit and keeps your arms and shoulders covered, but it is extremely lightweight and breathable. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it adds a bit of fun your professional attire either.
Date night
Create a romantic look that will stun your sweetie by slipping on a bohemian-inspired kimono on top of a sultry sundress. Break the rules a bit by incorporating a touch of fringe to your kimono or one with a floral or other alluring pattern. A kimono is an ideal piece to wear for a date night because it keeps your arms covered once it gets a bit chilly on those summer nights when the sun goes down.
Beach weekend
Lounging by the pool, spending the day at the beach or making a quick stop for ice cream on the boardwalk—why not do it all in a kimono? This piece doesn't have to just be worn with clothes; it goes well with bathing suits, too! Sheer, lightweight, yet fashionable, a kimono is the best bikini cover-up we can think of.
Girls' night
A solid colored fitted dress is fine on its own, but once paired with an ornately patterned kimono, it becomes a perfect outfit to wear for a night on the town. Polished but still edgy, a fringy kimono and a bit of playful jewelry is just the right amount of accessories to punch this look up a notch.
