Ten of the best kimono dresses
The kimono dress is such a strong and distinctive look that it can be hard to pull off. But when you get it right, it’s a real statement outfit and a great talking point at cocktail parties.
Luckily, the kimono form has been adapted by numerous designers over the years to create more contemporary styles which just about everyone can wear without the pre-requisite of “that certain look”.
Here, we’ve picked ten of our favourite kimono dresses that challenge the perception while still being ultra-wearable.
