Kimonos Are Back: The Transseasonal Style You’ll Wear on Repeat

Kimonos Are Back: The Transseasonal Style You’ll Wear on Repeat

Elizabeth Bennett’s feature in Grazia celebrates the enduring appeal of the kimono—a Japanese-inspired robe jacket that’s become a fashion essential. Ever since Gucci sent its luxe embroidered versions down the runway (with Beyoncé as a fan), the kimono has reemerged as the ultimate elegant-meets-bohemian piece for transitional dressing.

As temperatures dip and autumn approaches, the kimono is the perfect layering item. Whether you’re throwing it over a plain tee and denim cut-offs or pairing it with flares and ankle boots, a statement kimono instantly elevates any outfit. From long, swishy open styles to short wrap-around versions, there’s a silhouette for every taste.

While Gucci’s showstopping versions may cost upwards of £15,000, the high street offers plenty of accessible options. Grazia highlights standout picks from Zara, Free People, and ASOS, proving that you don’t need a couture budget to embrace this trend.

For those seeking a more artisanal take, brands like Holland Street offer luxury printed silk kimonos and kaftans, handmade in Britain with a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship. These pieces blend timeless silhouettes with bold, hand-drawn prints—perfect for those who want their wardrobe to tell a story.
