7 Trendy Kimono Styling Hacks
What is a kimono robe? A kimono robe draws its inspiration from the traditional Japanese kimono garment. It’s a sleek robe without a collar and it comes in different fabrics such as cotton, satin, lace, and silk.
1. Add a Little Drama To Your Everyday Look
If you’re a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, a kimono robe is a great way to add a little drama to your everyday look. This look works best with a pair of skinny jeans.
If you’re wearing a plain t-shirt, you can try using a printed kimono robe to make your look more interesting. The vibrant blue and green hues on RobeMart’s tropical satin kimono robe can breathe a little more life into your basic look.
If you’re rocking a printed shirt for the day, you can choose a plain satin one instead. Pick a color that will complement the colors on your shirt.
Tip: Take your outfit from day to night by adding a pair of sexy heels and an evening bag.
2. Pair It with a Tight Dress
Kimono robes are naturally light and flowy. That’s why they go great with tight or form-fitting dresses.
It adds volume to an otherwise compact look. This works great with both long and short dresses.
RobeMart offers over a dozen satin kimono robe colors. There are subtle and classic colors and there are vibrant ones too. Also, you can choose from various prints and patterns.
You can go for the subtle and classy monochromatic look and choose a robe which closely matches the color of your dress. If you prefer a more striking look, you can opt to choose a robe with contrasting color instead.
3. Complete Your Crop Top Look with a Kimono Robe
Crop tops are all the rage these days, but styling one well can be tricky. With crop tops, there’s a fine line between trendy and trashy.
A great way to avoid the latter is to use the other items in your outfit to juxtapose the tight and revealing top. A short kimono robe works perfectly for this, especially if you’re thinking of wearing tight bottoms as well.
Throw on a loose kimono robe to complete your crop top look. You won’t only look trendy, but it’ll help keep you warm too!
Tip: Try using loose bottoms, like palazzo pants, for your kimono crop top look. While it may seem counterintuitive to wear more loose items, they actually highlight your crop top even more—remember, a little skin goes a long way!

4. Cop the Perfect Summer Look
Summer is just around the corner and there’s nothing more comfortable than a pair of shorts in the heat. If you tend to shy away from shorts because it’s a little too laid-back, try adding a kimono robe to your outfit.
Satin kimono robes are the perfect addition to your summer outfit because the fabric is light and breezy. The glossy fabric also instantly turns your low-maintenance summer look into a stylish street-worthy OOTD.
Here are a few ways to rock your summer look:
- Tuck your shirt into your shorts. This instantly gives you a more put-together look.
- Fix your hair. Try braiding your hair or putting it into a bun if it’s too hot to leave it down or if you don’t have time to blow-dry it.
- Wear nice flats or sandals. Sneakers or kicks may make your outfit look more sporty rather than chic.
- Put on a nice pair of shades. You’re not only protecting your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays, but it’s also a great fashion accessory.
Tip: Summer is a great time to experiment with light and fun colors. RobeMart’s mint green, light pink, and airy blue are the perfect summer colors!
5. Pair It with Contrasting Fabrics
Sometimes, the best part of fashion is breaking the rules. A great way to make your look more interesting is to pair up fabrics that don’t usually go together.
As far as fabrics go, silk is the epitome of elegance and luxury. Why not pair your silk kimono robe with something a more rugged, like leather?
Leather can add a little edginess to a feminine look. Try wearing it with leather pants and a plain top or you can even try wearing it with a pair of knee-high leather boots.
Embrace the unexpected and let your style reflect your bold and eclectic taste.
6. Use It as an In-Between Layer
When it’s a bit chilly out, your a silk robe may not be enough to keep you warm. Kimono robes are great because you can easily layer them into your outfit.
Satin robes are lightweight and thin, so you can wear it in between your top and outer jacket. This is a great way to subtly add more color into your outfit.
7. Add Your Favorite Accessories
Here are a few accessories you may want to add to your kimono outfit:
- Bangles, bracelets, watches, and rings – The sleeves are usually a few inches below the elbow, so your arms and wrists are likely to be exposed.
- Necklaces or scarves – These robes also don’t have a collar, so you can put on a necklace or scarf to add another dimension to your look.
- Earrings – A nice pair of studs or hoops are always a great addition especially if your hair is up.
- Bags – Choose a bag that complements your outfit. Consider the style and size of the bag in relation to the look you’re trying to achieve.
The sleek and classic cut of the kimono robe gives you a little room for some bling. So don’t forget to accessorize when you’re wearing your kimono robe outfits!
