When somebody asks me what is this summer’s essential, without a doubt I say the kimono. Not only are they extremely chic, but kimonos are also probably one of the most practical trends I can remember. If you’re raising your brow, let me explain.
They are perfect for sunny summer days as delicate protection against the blazing sunshine. And then in the evening, when it gets chillier, they can be used as a cover.
But who ever said fashion has to be practical? Kimonos have many other benefits too. Pure style is their privilege. They are effortlessly chic style boosters. You can look casual wearing your denim cut-offs and white tee, but just one kimono will turn you into a street-style-picture-worthy muse. They usually come in colorful patterns, so you can have some fun mixing prints.
