Are you in the market for a stylish, lightweight layer to wear this spring and summer? The kimono is a trend that is perfect for adding just the right amount of sophistication to your outfits. Wear it with shorts, dresses, pants, or even as a bathing suit coverup; this outer ware is as versatile as it is chic.

We love how fashion blogger Aimee Song styled this gorgeous, pink kimono. Delicate gold accessories, boyfriend jeans, and heels create a casual, laid back look that is perfect for spring and summer.

 Alexa Chung is among the many fashion gurus that are rocking this trend. We adore the floral design on this kimono.
