Short Turquoise Kimono | Aoi

Turquoise Short Sleeve Kimono

This short turquoise kimono isn't designed to blend in — it's designed to stand out. Inspired by Japanese textile motifs and the free-spirited bohemian wardrobe, the Aoi brings together a vintage floral print in turquoise, mint and lavender tones with a fluid, confident short kimono cut. It's the kind of piece that turns a swimsuit into an outfit, a pair of jeans into a silhouette, an afternoon into a moment.

The floral kimono draws its character from the depth of its print: bold, graphic retro flowers at the centre, framed by an ornamental border of arabesque and trefoil patterns that echo Central Asian textiles as much as Japanese ukiyo-e woodblocks. The result is a garment that tells a story — not just a beach cover-up, but a standalone piece with a strong visual identity.

Thanks to its integrated tie belt, this short kimono can be worn in several ways: open as a beach cover-up draped over the shoulders, cinched at the waist to define the silhouette, or knotted to one side for a more deliberate asymmetric fall. The wide flared sleeves, a hallmark of the traditional kimono, bring movement to every gesture — flowing without being cumbersome, light without feeling flimsy.

The fabric is thin, breathable and built for warm days: it dries quickly, never clings to the skin and barely creases in a suitcase. It's the kind of piece you pack without thinking — and end up wearing every single day.

How to wear this short kimono every day

By the sea, this beach kimono slips over a bikini with flat sandals and gold earrings — a polished resort look in thirty seconds. At a café terrace, it works belted over a linen vest and relaxed trousers for an effortless boho-chic allure. Come evening, tied over a simple black dress, it becomes the one colour piece that makes the entire outfit.

It's a cover-up when you need one, a jacket when the breeze picks up, a statement when you decide it is. The kind of piece you buy for the beach — and end up wearing around town.

Composition: 100% viscose, fluid and silky to the touch.
