Summer: the season of skimpy vest tops, barely-there microskirts, and teeny-tiny bikinis. However, while my heart is crying out for a hot girl summer, my self-confidence hasn’t quite caught up to speed. While I’m (*very*) slowly coming to terms with this season’s revealing staples – apparently I’m not “cool” unless my midriff and bra are showing – I’m still craving an opportunity to cover up.
Enter: the kimono.
These silky-soft, suit-all cover-ups provide an easy, breezy alternative to the ‘bare-it-all’ trends of SS21, while also injecting a little colour into your outfit. And, if like me, lockdown lethargy has left you craving loose, roomy shapes that you can move comfortably in, kimonos are the ideal figure-skimming outerwear.

Equally at home at parties or pubs, this elegant and versatile kimono is patterned with colourful cranes. We recommended coupling this suit-all style with your fave jeans and some comfy trainers.
