Kimonos and kimono jackets for women

Our kimonos are designed in Australia and made by the same small family workshops in India and Indonesia we've worked with for over twenty years. The range covers mid-length kimonos, long dusters, capes, belted styles and a few reversible bombers, in silk viscose, our silk blend (30% silk, 70% polyester) and cotton. Most of the prints are our own.

Many styles are one size or come in S/M and L/XL, and others run S to XL. The one-size pieces are cut roomy, and many product pages include measurements so you can check before you buy.

Throw a mid-length kimono over a singlet and jeans, wear a long duster open over a wrap dress, or pack one as a beach cover-up that also works at dinner. When the weather cools, layer it over a knit. Want something with a zip or buttons? Our jackets have you covered. For more outfit ideas, see how to style a kimono jacket.

How to Style a Kimono Jacket for Everyday Wear — Outfit Ideas for Australian Women

Style a kimono as a layering piece over jeans and a simple top. For casual wear, pair with fitted basics underneath so the kimono provides the statement without overwhelming your look. Tie it closed for structure or leave it open for a relaxed vibe. Works with sandals for summer or boots for cooler months.

Frequently asked questions about our kimono jackets and wraps

Are your kimono jackets and dusters one-size-fits-most? Many are. The one-size styles are cut roomy and generally fit up to about an AU 18 to 20. Others come in S/M and L/XL, or S to XL, so check the sizes and measurements on each product page.

What fabrics do you use for kimonos? Silk viscose, our silk blend (30% silk, 70% polyester) and cotton. Each product page lists the fabric.

Can I wear a kimono jacket or duster in winter? Many customers do. Layer a merino base underneath heavier cotton or reversible kimono dusters, add boots, and the look works year-round, even in cooler climates like Melbourne.

How do I style a kimono jacket over jeans? Wear it open for natural flow, or loosely tie the belt at the back for subtle shaping. Both skinny and straight-leg jeans pair well; longer kimono dusters complement ankle or cropped hems especially nicely.

Are kimono wraps suitable as beach cover-ups? Perfect for it. The lightweight cotton and silk blend styles offer coverage while staying cool and drying quickly.

How should I care for my kimono? Gentle cool machine wash, line dry in shade. Cotton styles can be lightly ironed on the reverse for crispness, though most women prefer the soft, lived-in feel.

Do you stock kimono jackets in neutral colours? Always. Core neutrals include olive, camel, rust, cream, oatmeal and soft black, with fresh seasonal shades added regularly.

Will a women's kimono jacket suit different heights and shapes? The relaxed cut flatters most. Taller figures favour long kimono dusters, while shorter women often belt them or choose cropped bomber variations for proportion.

What's the difference between a kimono and a cardigan?

A kimono has wider sleeves and typically no fastenings, while a cardigan has fitted sleeves and often buttons or zips. Kimonos drape more loosely and make a bolder style statement. Cardigans are more structured. Both work as layering pieces but kimonos tend to use lighter fabrics like silk blend.

Can you wear a kimono to work?

Yes, if your workplace is business casual. Choose a kimono in a solid color or subtle print, wear it over tailored pants and a fitted top, and keep accessories minimal. Tie it at the waist for a more polished look. Avoid very bold prints or long flowing styles for conservative offices.

Want a closed layer instead of an open wrap? See jackets. For cooler days, knits. Same print families sit in wrap dresses and wrap skirts.
