Toronto’s weather was glorious today. You could literally walk outside in shorts and a tee. It reminded me that summer is around the corner. Yes, we might still be social distancing but that does not mean we can’t dress well.
Whether you are running errands, having a little picnic in the backyard, or taking your baby for a walk, kimonos never disappoint, they are the perfect layering piece during summer months and can change the whole look of your outfit in an instant. Let’s not forget you can also use most of them as a swimsuit cover-up when the beaches open back up. For a more formal look, add a belt to accentuate the waist. This Romantic Gypsy Women’s Plus Size Printed High-Low Kimono with Pom-Pom Trim has been selling like hotcakes ever since I shared it on my liketoknowiit profile. It must be the print! If you like it too I’ll suggest you grab them before it’s sold out.
Below are three outfit ideas with a kimono to try this summer
WEAR A KIMONO WITH JOGGERS
When I think about how to wear a kimono, a pair of joggers is not the first thing that crosses my mind. I usually pair mine with shorts, dresses or jeans. Turns out they pair together perfectly. Finish the look with a pair of strappy sandals or wedges.
