Kimonos are a must-have look for the summer, but how exactly do you style this eastern-inspired trend? The outfit looks stunning if worn in the best possible way - try it with body con or with jeans.

There are three ways to wear the piece this summer, it will make you look stylish and keep you comfortable. The only tricky thing will be choosing the right kimono according to your personality, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

* Look one: This look is ideal for summer festivals, but also something that could be worn for a picnic in the park. A pair of denim shorts, simple vest or crop top and a kimono thrown on top can complete the look. It's simple, but the addition of a printed kimono will ensure it stands out.

* Look two: This is a glamorous look that you could definitely wear on a night out, throw your kimono on over a simple body con dress and the tight fitting dress will work well with the loose fitting throw over. Add a pair of strappy heels and a bright lip and you're good to go. Sandals and a floral crown would make this another festival-perfect look.

* Look three: Pairing your kimono with jeans and a simple tee is the perfect day-to-day look. You can wear it with sandals that would make it ideal for shopping then dress it up with some flatforms or wedges. Don't forget to pack this piece in your suitcase too, you'll find it an easy piece to throw on over your bikini that will take you from the beach to the bar instantly.

Now shop the look and pick out your perfect kimono.
