Bold Prints: Smocked Kimono

The smocked kimono has an easy trendy shape and a must-have graphic print.

Big, bold prints in black and white are great for a hot summer night. Flutter sleeves are cool and floaty, but you'll see that the smocked waist finishes off an otherwise ethereal top.

  • Try a Shapely Skirt: Try a tulip styled skirt with espadrille-heeled wedges. Shy away from ankle-tie heels to lend a cleaner look.

  • Be Understated: Match large prints with one equally bold accessory. Thin chains and delicate rings won't look at home, so try a ring or a bracelet that truly makes a statement.
