In the summertime, it can be difficult to style cute outfits. Adding layers to your outfits can quickly make you feel a little too warm. Instead of a sweater or knit cardigan, a great alternative option that is just as stylish is the kimono. Kimonos are perfect for layering in the warmer months. They add an extra element of style and color to your outfit while also keeping you cool. The material of kimonos is thin and lightweight, allowing for a lot of breathability. Your body will easily stay cool and comfortable when wearing a kimono.
Today, we’ve compiled a list of five outfits you can pair with a kimono. In addition to recreating these outfits exactly as stated, they’re also meant to inspire you to make kimono-centered outfits yourself. Keep reading to see some of our favorite kimonos and outfits.
