What do you get if you team a bell sleeve with a soft wrap and a wildly on-trend floral or animal print? Spring’s most versatile and, better still, flattering top or micro-dress style.
Gone are the hippy connotations pinned to the humble kimono by Rachel Zoe and Nicole Ritchie – these days kimono-style tops and dresses have taken on a more high fashion air, thanks to high stakes adoptees like Rihanna and Olivia Palermo.

Team with culottes for work, sky-high heels and cropped cigarette pants for evening or Kendall Jenner-esque distressed denim micro cut-offs for luxe festival or beach occasions.
Cut and fabric are key, but what really counts right now is a bold retro print. (The new maestro of mad pattern, Alessandro Michele, has made sure of that.) Still, who can look past a simple washed denim staple like the Anna Sammarone number below, which is lust-worthy enough to make up for its floral-free status.
