Why You’ll Love To Layer With Kimonos
A cover-up, a shawl, a robe, a fashion kimono—whatever you choose to call it, it’s the best piece for layering with your outfits in between seasons or during warmer months.
But what makes them so versatile?
They come in a variety of colors, patterns, lengths, and styles. There is literally one for even the pickiest fashionista out there.
That adaptability makes them easy to incorporate into lots of different styles and occasions, from a boho beach bum to a stylish working mom.
My favorite places to get kimonos are at thrift stores. They’re usually hiding out on the racks with swimsuits, cardigans, pajamas, or dresses. If you’re unsure if it’s a trend you want to try, thrifting also offers a low investment. And you can always donate it back if it doesn’t work!
But in this post, I am here to inspire you with a large selection of outfit ideas featuring kimonos. You’re sure to see one that you can’t wait to recreate!
Let’s take a look at how to wear a kimono with everything!
How To Style a Kimono With Jeans
I love the juxtaposition between a soft kimono (like floral, chambray, or swirl patterned) paired with worn-in denim. Try out this look for yourself by adding a graphic t-shirt, simple cami, or bright t-shirt to continue making this look your own.

How To Dress Up A Kimono
A kimono cover-up naturally lends itself to a dressier style, so lean into that with a pair of palazzo pants, a summer-y dress, or a pretty skirt?
You can even toss in some subtle pattern mixing by layering your kimono over a pattern top or dress. Have fun with it!
