How to style a kimono : From beach to dinners

A kimono is one of the most versatile pieces you can pack for a summer escape.

Lightweight, effortless, and endlessly adaptable, it moves seamlessly through every part of your day — from slow mornings by the sea to sunset dinners overlooking the ocean. The beauty of a kimono lies in its ability to elevate even the simplest outfit while maintaining a sense of ease and comfort.

Here's how we're styling our favourite kimono shirts this season.

Beachside Ease

Nothing feels more natural on holiday than a lightweight linen kimono worn over swimwear.

Whether you're heading to the beach, lounging by the pool, or enjoying a morning walk along the coastline, an open kimono creates an effortless layer that offers both comfort and sophistication. The relaxed silhouette allows for movement while protecting your skin from the midday sun.

For a refined beachside look, pair the *Inari Titanium Linen Kimono Shirt* with neutral swimwear, leather sandals, and a woven tote.
