This ruffle kimono cover-up is the one to throw over your swimsuit when you want to look finished walking from the pool to the terrace. A ruffle trim runs the full length of the front placket and down the hem, the sleeves end in tie cuffs, and a fabric tie cinches the waist so the sheer layers fall open at the front as you walk. It's floor length with enough movement in the fabric to make even flip-flops look like an outfit. Sheer throughout, it's built to go over your swimsuit rather than instead of it.
The ruffle is what makes this read as a proper piece rather than a plain kimono thrown on. Most sheer cover-ups leave the front edge raw or just hemmed, so there's nothing to catch the eye as it moves. Running a ruffle the full length from collar to hem gives it a finished edge in motion, not just at rest. Worth being upfront about: it's sheer from shoulder to hem, so this is a layering piece over your swimwear rather than something you'd wear on its own - that's the trade for the ruffle detail, not a flaw in it.
It's a loose, open fit that falls straight from the shoulder to a floor-length hem, with the waist tie the only shaping. Because the fabric is sheer throughout, coverage comes from what you wear underneath rather than from the cover-up itself. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's made from a lightweight polyester chiffon-style weave, which is what lets it float and move as you walk instead of clinging. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well.
It's the piece that turns the walk from your sunlounger to the bar into part of the outfit - one layer on over your swimsuit and you're dressed for wherever the afternoon takes you.
What size ruffle kimono cover-up should I order?
Go up a size if you're between two, since the loose, open cut is meant to fall and move rather than fit close.
Is there anything to wear underneath?
Yes - it's sheer from shoulder to hem, so you'll want your swimsuit on underneath.
What is it made from?
It's made from a lightweight polyester weave. We don't have a percentage breakdown, so we're not going to guess one for you.
