Summer is always a tricky time for me, fashion wise. I like to cover my arms (an area I'm not too confident about) and in the summer this can be a little difficult when the sun is blaring away. Every year I say I'll have to invest in some light jackets and cardigans and I never get round to actually doing it.
Recently, whilst browsing around my local H&M sale, I found this mottled grey kimono. It's knitted but very light and flowy so it is perfect as a summer cover up. I've been wearing it to death since I bought it and because of its light grey colour, it goes with most pieces in my wardrobe. I will admit that I may have bought it in a size too big, I am usually a medium, but I could only find this one and it's in a large. It's not too bad as it just hangs a little baggier, which also means it can be easily wrapped around for added chill protection.
Kimonos are a great summer accessory, but they come in so many different arm lengths, hem lengths and materials it can be hard to find one that suits you. For me, a long arm is what I look for and I prefer sturdier materials like a light knit or cotton rather than the sheer or silk kimonos.
Let me know in the comments below if you are loving the kimono for summer and whether you have added one to your wardrobe already, or if you have your eye on one.
