It’s tempting to want to throw on a simple tank and a pair of shorts and call it an outfit. It’s comfy, easy, and makes choosing your shoes and accessories a simple task. But if you want to step up this look, all you need is a kimono.

Kimonos are lightweight, making themselves the summer sister of the cardigan. They’re also colorful, adding a pop to your overall appearance. They go with any basic colors. Here are some examples of kimonos and how to style them so you look your best while feeling it too.

This red, flowery kimono wakes up this entire simple outfit of jeans and a white tee.

Blue circles are a calm pattern for this kimono and looks effortless with minimalistic sandals.

A high-low kimono adds dimension. We like how this one is long enough to be tied in the front!

Tribal patterns are very flattering. This kimono is worn over a crop top, adding elegance to the outfit.

This gown-like kimono is perfect to wear as a beach cover-up. We love the eye-catching colors that remind of us the sea and sky.
