If you’re with us in the Northern Hemisphere, then you are in the thick of summer. The dense, humid heat is wreaking havoc on our hair, skin, and yes, even our sense of style. It’s easy to want to give up on your wardrobe when it gets this hot and muggy. You may decide to either stay indoors with the air conditioning blasting, or go out without much thought to your look because hey it’s summer, who cares! But this is precisely the time when a little can go a long way when it comes to streetwear.
At KIM+ONO, we design with you in mind. That means creating timeless pieces that also capture the magic of florals and the whimsicality of each season while giving you lightweight options that won’t weigh you down. So today on the blog, we’ve rounded up some lightweight summer robes to help set your summer kimono style on fire. From short kimono robes to maxi kimono robes, from light to dark, and from silk to charmeuse, there’s a little something for everyone in this round up. The one thing each beautiful summer kimono robe brings to the table? A lightweight fabric to elevate your everyday look into a summer showstopper.

What is better than waking up and wearing silk? We can’t think of much. That’s why we absolutely love this Handpainted Lotus Kimono Robe as the perfect piece for a relaxing morning and lovely night. This white summer kimono dressing gown is 100% silk with a hand painted design splashed across the back and onto the front. Our Handpainted Silk Collection takes seven days to make from start to finish. It starts with a design, sketched by hand. Then it’s saturated with rich watercolors and a traditional paintbrush. So you’re truly donning a piece of wearable art. The lightweight silk and gorgeous floral design make this piece your go-to for lazy morning wake ups and late night wind downs. It has the texture to remind you to breathe deeply, the design to make you swoon, and the feeling that going a little bit slower during this summer season isn’t such a bad thing. Whether you’re hustling in your normal routine or finding some time to travel and disconnect this summer, this white kimono robe is a piece of luxury worth adding in to your every day.
Our Peony & Butterfly Kimono Robes are certainly some of our most popular pieces. And for good reason! The gorgeous design is playful yet classic. Each jewel-toned color pops and the black and white are simply stunning. Not only this, but this short kimono robe is perfect as a lightweight kimono jacket. It’s summer and we say, dive all the way in. Pick your favorite color in this style, and pair your short kimono robe with an outfit built around that beautiful color. Here is a gorgeous example of a monochromatic look in white. Let the peonies pop against this sweet and subtle drape, pair with a variety of textures, and off you go into the summer night. The lightweight feel of this short kimono robe is perfect when those hot summer days suddenly turn a little bit chilly when the sun sets. In fact, this is the perfect piece to take from day to night. Wear it as a beach cover up during daylight hours, a sweet kimono jacket at twilight, and lounge around at home in it as you wind down from your summer adventures. Wherever you’re going this summer, and no matter how hot it is, this short lightweight kimono robe is the perfect companion.
