SUMMER

Atelier Sarita's summer designs are made from lightweight, breathable fabrics. Available as jackets or kimono dresses, they're perfect for warm days in the city, while maintaining a structured silhouette.

Summer kimonos: jackets and dresses designed for warmth, light and movement

At Atelier Sarita, the kimono holds a central place in the wardrobe. It's a garment that is reinterpreted, adjusted, and adapted to the seasons and occasions. In summer, this piece takes on a special dimension. It becomes lighter, more open, and more airy, while still maintaining structure and presence.

Summer kimonos, kimono jackets, and kimono dresses are designed to comfortably accommodate the warm season. They meet a simple need: to be able to dress in warm weather without sacrificing comfort, freedom of movement, or a flattering silhouette.

The summer kimono: a lightweight garment to wear from morning to night

Summer transforms the rhythm of our days. Temperatures rise, bodies are exposed, and clothing becomes more direct. We look for pieces that are easy to put on, easy to take off, and capable of effortlessly adapting to the day's changes.

The summer kimono jacket perfectly embodies this philosophy. Lightweight and breathable, it's worn open most of the time. Slip it on in the morning before heading out, leave it draped over your shoulders when the sun softens, and put it back on in the evening when the air cools slightly. It becomes an instinctive piece, something you reach for without thinking. Worn over a t-shirt, tank top, shorts, or lightweight trousers, it adds presence without weighing down the silhouette. It protects from the sun without confining, and provides structure without stiffness. Its cut allows it to be worn both in the city and beyond, without compromising style.

The summer kimono dress plays an equally essential role. It's worn closed, directly against the skin, when it's hot. It's worn open, over a swimsuit, shorts, or a t-shirt, when moving from one place to another. Depending on the style, it can be belted or left loose, offering different ways to move within a room. These kimono dresses are designed to be lived in. You put them on in the morning, keep them on all day, and adapt them in the evening. They move with you without ever restricting you. They allow the body to breathe, while creating a clean, defined silhouette.

In summer, the kimono becomes a light second skin. A garment that one almost forgets one is wearing because it adapts so well to everyday movements.

Summer fabrics: cotton, cotton voile, silk, lightness and breathability

In summer, the fabric is crucial. It's in direct contact with the skin. It must allow air to circulate, absorb moisture, and remain comfortable even after several hours of wear.

Summer kimonos are made from breathable and lightweight fabrics. Cotton plays a central role, prized for its softness and ability to keep you cool. Cotton voile, even more airy, provides an immediate feeling of lightness. It allows air to circulate, catches the light, and becomes almost imperceptible against the skin. Silk is also used for its fluidity and natural coolness. It moves with you, glides over the body, and offers instant comfort. Linen, when present, contributes to this focus on breathability, with a drier texture ideal for very hot days.

These fabrics are chosen for their actual performance in summer. They don't cling, don't retain excessive heat, and dry quickly. They allow you to wear kimono jackets and dresses directly on bare skin, over a swimsuit, or over a t-shirt, without discomfort.

Colors also play an important role. Summer kimonos come in light, bright, sometimes bolder shades, always designed to complement the summer light. These colors suit the season, pair easily with simple pieces, and change depending on sun exposure.

Lightness never means fragility. Fabrics are selected for their strength and durability. Finishes are meticulous, and seams are precise, ensuring the garment retains its shape and comfort through repeated wear and washing.

A must-have item: the summer kimono, perfect for city, sea, and travel.

Summer is rarely static. We travel more, we change scenery, we leave the city for a few days or a few weeks, without completely abandoning our clothing habits.

The summer kimono then emerges as an obvious choice. It folds easily, slips into a suitcase or bag, and doesn't take up unnecessary space. It wrinkles little, quickly regains its shape, and can be worn as soon as you arrive.

At the beach, the kimono dress is worn over a swimsuit, open or belted as desired. It's perfect for going back and forth between the beach and other parts of the day. It offers light sun protection, allows air to circulate, and lets you stay dressed comfortably.

The kimono jacket, on the other hand, is draped over the shoulders in the evening, when the temperature drops. It becomes a transitional piece, perfect for extending the day without completely changing your outfit.

This versatility makes the summer kimono an essential piece in any summer wardrobe. It's a garment worn in the city, but also elsewhere. It's a piece that reappears every summer, styled differently depending on the location, the occasion, and your mood. Open or belted, worn alone or layered, the summer kimono adapts. It doesn't dictate how you wear it. It complements your style.

The summer kimono, a seasonal essential

The summer kimono stands out for its ease of use and its ability to adapt to the season. Kimono jackets and kimono dresses meet the demands of warmth, light, and freedom of movement. Lightweight, breathable, and made from suitable materials such as
Cotton, cotton voile, silk, or linen—they're perfect for both hot days and cooler evenings. They can be worn open or belted, over a swimsuit, shorts, a t-shirt, or directly against the skin, depending on your mood.

Designed for the city but equally at home anywhere, they naturally find their place in a suitcase, in a summer wardrobe, in a busy lifestyle. The summer kimono thus becomes the must-have item when the season arrives: easy to wear, easy to pack, and perfectly suited to its purpose.
