You might recognize the kimono as a traditional Japanese garment. Or you might recognize it as something you've seen in many popular stores. I think they are going to be a 2014 summer staple. I'm loving the look for a variety of reasons. First of all the kimono gives you a bit of coverage for those days when it is hot outside but you are ducking in and out of air conditioned buildings.

Kimonos can be found at many stores at a variety of prices and styles. You can find them in an assortment of materials from silk to polyester to crotchet material. They also come in a variety of lengths so you can find one to match any casual outfit. I've found Forever21.com to have the biggest selection but I've found great prints at Tobi.com. I'm loving these two kimonos:
