HOW TO WEAR KIMONO IN SUMMER?

I get a lot of questions from you about kimono styling, how to wear a kimono in the summer, and whether a kimono suits everyone. I decided to gather my answers in this short article!

A women's summer kimono is not only a fashionable accessory, but above all, a versatile wardrobe staple that combines comfort, elegance, and functionality. Thanks to its variety of materials, cuts, and patterns, the kimono is perfect for many summer outfits—from beachwear to evening wear.

How to wear kimono in summer?

In summer, a kimono becomes an indispensable wardrobe staple, offering not only style but also comfort on hot days. Its lightness and airiness make it perfect as a swimsuit coverup, adding elegance to a beach outfit. For everyday wear, it can be paired with a simple dress or a top and shorts for a casual yet fashionable look. In the evening, a silk or lace kimono will add a touch of chic to any outfit, pairing perfectly with elegant accessories. When choosing a kimono, it's worth paying attention to its color and pattern – pastel shades, floral motifs, or boho-style fringe are just some of the options that will emphasize the summery feel of the outfit. For summer evenings, it's a good idea to choose silk kimonos with a slightly sheer structure. Our favorite here is the DRAGONFLY kimono made of 100% Italian silk! The dragonfly embroidery gives it a unique character and a wink to the trendsetters ;)

Which kimono should you choose for the beach?

When choosing a beach kimono , it's best to choose models made of light and airy materials such as cotton, linen, or viscose. It's best to avoid polyester kimonos, because while they may look nice, they aren't breathable and will cause sweating, leaving you feeling hot and uncomfortable.

A kimono with floral or geometric prints adds character to a beach outfit, while a fringed , boho-style kimono creates a casual, summery atmosphere. For those who prefer a classic look, a black kimono is perfect, as it pairs well with most accessories, while a kimono in shades of blue or pink adds subtlety. It's also worth considering the length – shorter styles show off your legs, while longer ones provide more sun protection. At NUES, you can choose from both short beach kimonos and long beach kimonos in a variety of colors. Our specialty, however, is silk beach kimonos. Our silk beach kimonos are made of selected fabrics imported from Italy. We offer silk kimonos with floral prints, silk kimonos with animal prints, and many others. A silk kimono has the advantage over other summer kimonos that you don't feel the heat when wearing it, as silk has thermoregulating properties. Your skin breathes, and you feel fresh and elegant.

Does a kimono suit different body types?

Absolutely! A women's summer kimono is a versatile wardrobe staple that suits every body type. Thanks to its loose fit and the ability to tie at the waist, it accentuates your figure while concealing any imperfections. An oversized kimono provides freedom of movement and comfort, while a kimono with an obi belt accentuates the waist, creating a feminine silhouette. For fuller-figured women, styles made from flowing fabrics like silk or viscose are ideal, as they drape beautifully. Meanwhile, petite women can opt for a short kimono with a subtle print for added volume.

Where to buy a fashionable women's kimono?

Fashionable Women's kimonos can be found in many online and brick-and-mortar stores. It's worth considering brands offering high-quality products made from natural materials. At NUES, we have a full selection of kimonos, as we are a Polish kimono brand. Our women's kimonos made from natural materials are suitable for any occasion. Many models are versatile. What does this mean? We offer multifunctional kimonos that can be worn as a cover-up over a swimsuit on the beach, as a light dress during the day, and in the evening – with the right accessories – as an elegant dress! What a time-saver, a wallet-friendly one, and the planet!

When choosing a kimono, it's worth considering its intended use – whether it's intended as a beach cover-up, a casual element, or an elegant evening accessory. Thanks to the variety of styles available at NUES, every woman will find something that highlights her style and personality.

So, have you got your kimono in mind yet? ;)
