Why choose a women's beach kimono this summer?
The beach kimono is much more than just a summer accessory . It's a lightweight, flowing dress inspired by Japanese codes, designed to accompany every moment by the water. It offers discreet protection from the sun, a natural elegance after bathing, and an effortless touch of style. Unlike a classic dress or sarong, it glides smoothly over the skin, while structuring the silhouette. Choosing a beach kimono means opting for a hybrid garment, as practical as it is inspiring.
Long beach kimono: the chic piece that elongates the silhouette
The long beach kimono seduces with its flowing cut and its ability to create an elongated visual line. Worn open over a swimsuit, it brings instant elegance, even barefoot in the sand. This type of kimono gracefully follows the body's movements, while concealing what you prefer to keep to yourself. It is particularly suitable for women seeking discreet refinement, whether at the beach, by the pool, or during an aperitif on the terrace. Flowing and airy, it transforms a simple swimsuit into a postcard look.
Short beach kimono: light and easy to put on
Looking for a lightweight look without compromising on style? A short beach kimono is the perfect solution. It slips easily into a bag, can be quickly slipped on after a day at the beach, and fits all body types. Its shorter length frees up the legs, making it ideal in hot weather, while still emphasizing your upper body or the swimsuit you're wearing underneath. It's also a perfect option for those who want an easy piece to wear over shorts or a lightweight dress for an afternoon spent lounging by the water.
Kimono to wear over a swimsuit: practical and stylish
The feminine beach kimono proves to be the perfect companion to the swimsuit . Unlike dresses that cling or towels that are rolled up, it slips on in a few seconds, without creasing the look. Open or belted, it allows you to move elegantly to a snack bar, a beach bar or a seaside promenade, without having to change. In light voile or soft cotton, it covers just what is needed while enhancing the silhouette. A must-have for sunny days, as practical as it is refined.
Ideal materials for a summer kimono: lightness above all
A successful summer kimono always starts with the right choice of material. When the sun is strong, the body needs to breathe. That's why our designs favor natural, airy, and comfortable fabrics. Cotton is king for its softness, chiffon for its light transparency, and viscose for its flowing drape. These materials move with you without sticking to your skin, even when wet. The fabric of a beach kimono shouldn't just be beautiful; it should embrace the summer, the salt, and the light.
Cotton beach kimono: softness and breathability
Of all the summer fabrics, cotton remains an undisputed favorite. In kimono form, it offers the perfect balance between comfort, fit, and breathability. It lets air through, dries quickly, and remains soft even after multiple washes. A cotton beach kimono is perfect for anyone looking for an easy-to-wear piece that can be slipped on over a swimsuit or dress without a second thought. Off-white, ecru, printed, or embroidered: cotton loves simplicity but never banality.
Kimono in muslin, cotton gauze or viscose: guaranteed fluidity
If you're looking for a feeling of absolute lightness, fabrics like chiffon , cotton gauze , or viscose are your best allies. The chiffon kimono literally floats around the body, creating an almost airy effect—ideal for very hot days. Cotton gauze, more textured, evokes a soft and authentic bohemian style . As for viscose, it combines suppleness and an elegant drape, perfect for a beach kimono that's both fluid and structured. Each material tells a different story of a summer: it's up to you to choose the mood.
Transparent or semi-transparent kimono: discreet sensuality
The sheer kimono is the art of finding the right balance : suggesting without revealing too much. Worn over a one-piece swimsuit or a bikini , it adds a touch of mystery while letting the light through. This type of beach kimono is very popular for relaxing afternoons where you want to be comfortable while maintaining an elegant and confident silhouette. In light voile, it lets you guess the curves without ever imposing them. Perfect for a chic, subtly sexy look, without ever being ostentatious.
Tropical and floral prints: an explosion of freshness
Summer is the season of color and visual joy. Beach kimonos with floral or tropical prints infuse any look with vibrant energy. Palm trees, hibiscus, exotic foliage, cherry blossoms: each pattern evokes travel, nature in celebration, and endless vacations. These prints energize a simple outfit, attract the eye, and emphasize a sunny mood. Ideal for radiating from morning until sunset, on the beach or on a café terrace.
Plain or pastel beach kimono: minimalism by the sea
If you prefer softness to exuberance, solid or pastel-toned beach kimonos are for you. These pieces bring a touch of refined minimalism to your summer silhouette. Sandy beige, powder pink, pearly white, or sky blue... These light colors enhance your tan and pair easily with any swimsuit. The style is deliberately pared-down, giving way to elegant cuts and light fabrics. A Zen aesthetic that invites you to slow down and enjoy every moment under the sun.
Bohemian beach kimono: free spirit in the wind
The bohemian kimono is a true statement of freedom. Its natural prints, delicate fringes, and embroidered details evoke a carefree summer, close to nature. Worn on the beach, it moves with the wind and enhances every gesture with fluidity. This style is particularly suited to wanderlust, to those who like to create a spontaneous and poetic look. Pair it with leather sandals, handmade jewelry, or a floppy hat, and you'll be ready for a waterfront getaway or a local market at the end of the day.
Accessorize your beach kimono: hat, basket and jewelry
A well-chosen beach kimono becomes even more impactful when accessorized with care. For a complete summer look, consider pairing it with a straw hat , a wicker basket , and shell or natural pearl jewelry . These elements strike a balance between casual and sophisticated. They emphasize the visual identity of your kimono while revealing your personal style. On vacation, every detail counts: let your desires speak for themselves and create an outfit in which you feel beautiful, free, and yourself.
How to wear a beach kimono in the evening?
The beach kimono isn't just for the warmest hours of the day. In the evening, it transforms into an elegant piece, perfect for a waterfront dinner or a sunset stroll. Choose a style in deep tones—midnight blue, coral, or light black—and pair it with high-waisted shorts, a flowing dress, or loose-fitting pants. Belted or simply draped over the shoulders, it adds a sophisticated touch without weighing down your silhouette. A simple change of jewelry or sandals is all it takes to take it from sandy to nighttime chic.
The beach kimono in a city look: much more than a vacation item
If you thought your kimono was only for the seaside, think again. Paired with jeans, a plain dress, or a linen top, it becomes a fashionable ally in the city. Its loose fit, patterns, and flowing fabric add a touch of freshness and originality to your urban outfits, even in warm weather. It's the piece that says "I'm back from vacation" without saying it, while remaining suitable for cobbled streets or city center cafes. A versatile garment that doesn't take up space in your suitcase but shines everywhere.
Plus size beach kimono: flowing and flattering for everyone
The beach kimono is a piece that celebrates all silhouettes, without exception. In the plus-size version, it retains the lightness and fluidity that make every movement freer. The loose, well-thought-out cuts allow you to cover without hiding, to draw without restricting. It can be worn open, for an airy effect, or belted to elegantly highlight the waist. The placed prints, adjustable lengths, and soft materials make our plus-size models true assets of comfort and style. Because beauty has neither standards nor seasons.
Belting your beach kimono: highlighting your waist with style
Do you like to structure your silhouette while maintaining the lightness of a summer garment? Belting a beach kimono is a great option. By using a thin braided belt, a ribbon, or even a Japanese-inspired obi belt , you can subtly reshape the loose cut of the kimono. This allows you to highlight the waist, balance the volume, or transform the kimono into an impromptu dress. It's also an easy way to personalize your outfit and adapt it to your mood of the moment, whether you're at the seaside or in the city.
Wear the beach kimono as a dress: tied, fitted, stylish
The women's beach kimono can be transformed into a real dress, simply by tying it at the waist or closing it with an elegant belt. This way of wearing it is perfect when you go from an afternoon at the beach to the end of the day on the terrace, without going back to the locker room. Choose a model that is long and opaque enough, with three-quarter or long sleeves , to create a balanced silhouette. The result is both casual and dressy, perfect for those who like to travel light while maintaining style.

It's a discreet but indispensable companion, following your travels without ever weighing you down.
The beach kimono: between Japanese tradition and modern relaxation
