Crimson Breeze

You know how sometimes, you find something with a bit of theatre about it? That’s this kimono cover-up. The floor-skimming cut and fantastical patterns make this more than just something to toss on after a swim. It’s like wearing your own private summer festival (minus the queues at the bar or that neighbour who brings their ukulele).

It’s a floaty bit of escapism, really - with sleeves that don’t so much swing as take flight, and dramatic patterning that pops in any holiday snap. Dramatic? Yes. But also supremely practical: lightweight, billowing fabric floats over the skin - even when it’s stuck to the car seat because someone forgot to put the sunshade up. A wide trim runs along the open front and neckline, which pulls those swirling patterns together perfectly and gives it just enough structure.

The hem floats somewhere between bohemian goddess and medieval tapestry (if tapestry was a chic party guest who knows everyone). And this kimono is grand enough to cover up poolside, but with enough punch for a night out when worn over slicked-back hair and an all-black ensemble. All without needing a degree in layering - thank you. Whether for lounging, layering over swimwear, or simply prancing around at home, this one manages to do it all while looking like serious fun.
