The summer kimono does three jobs: sun cover on the shoulders, something over the swimsuit at lunch, and the extra layer for a cold restaurant. Ours are cut in breathable cotton, linen blends, airy viscose and sheer chiffon-weight fabrics, in prints our artisans print by hand — florals, tropicals, citrus, gingham and botanicals.
They pack flat, forgive a suitcase, and go from the pool to dinner with a change of shoes. Choose a short style for travel days and a long sheer one for the beach.
Complete the look with a bandana tied in the hair and a beach bag. More cover-ups: resort wear kimonos · kaftans · cover-ups. All kimonos.
What fabric is best for a summer kimono? Cotton and viscose breathe and drape; sheer chiffon is lightest and dries fastest at the beach. Can I wear a kimono as a beach cover-up? Yes — a long sheer floral kimono over a one-piece is the classic.
