Summer is officially here, and so is the beach. Well, at least it is to those who intend to go to the beach. And on top of both, so are kimono dresses.
Just take a cue from Nicole Richie, who shed her usual bohemian maxi style for a cocktail kimono dress at the Bing Celebration for Creative Minds. Nicole accessorized with House of Harlow 1960 jewelry and a vintage Pierre Cardin beaded metallic clutch.

A short kimono dress is a great piece you can use as a beach cover up, as a day dress, as a date dress, or even as a cocktail dress. Besides it’s a sexy piece of clothing that flatters almost any body type. The deep V-neckline created by the wrap feature always elongates and slims down the torso.
