It goes well with anything, from jeans to dresses, culottes, skirts, and shorts. You can also use it as a cover-up for swimsuits or any other outfit that needs sprucing up. Keep reading to learn how to style your kimono in South Africa.

Summer outfit ideas with a kimono

Kimonos pair well with denim shorts, especially when worn with a plain tank top or shirt in a neutral colour like black or white. Stick to plain tops when wearing a kimono with a busy print for a more cohesive look. You can try the same look with a pair of your favourite skinny jeans, in case you want an outfit you can wear at work or for a weekend trip.

Another way to wear your kimono in South Africa during the summertime is with a dress or swimsuit. Choose kimonos with bright colours or floral patterns for a fun and sunny vibe that suits the season.

Date night

Whether as a cover-up or for warmth on chilly nights, a kimono does the trick. Pick one in a floral pattern and wear it over a black bodycon dress for an effortlessly chic look. You can put your hair in a bun or ponytail or simply let it loosea and complete your look with a pair of wedges or heels.

Boho feels

It’s hard to go wrong with kimonos if you want to try bohemian looks. After all, they easily pair well with any boho-inspired outfit.

More styling tips

Kimonos come in different lengths. If you are petite and want to wear a long one, finish your look with high heels or wedges for extra height. That way, the length won’t overwhelm your frame. For a casual look, choose a hip-length kimono that can elevate any casual, everyday outfit.
