ABOUT kimono cover-ups
Why Shoppers Choose Claire Powell
A sheer kimono cover-up is an essential wardrobe piece for warm climates like Australia. Unlike heavy cardigans or structured jackets, our lightweight kimonos and beach cover-ups offer breathable comfort, elegant movement, and effortless coverage without adding heat. Their relaxed drape flatters many different body shapes, making them a favourite for women who want stylish layering that still feels light and comfortable.
At Claire Powell, kimono cover-ups are designed with real women in mind. We use premium modal and airy chiffon to create pieces that feel cool on the skin, travel well, and elevate any outfit with a touch of colour and sophistication. Our exclusive digital prints are created to flatter, while the open-front silhouette provides ease of wear and a beautiful, flowing shape that suits sizes 12–20.
Many customers choose Claire Powell kimonos as their go-to layers for cruises, resort holidays, lunches, beach days, and special evenings. They pack flat, resist wrinkles, and transition seamlessly from poolside to dinner. If you’re searching for elegant sheer kimonos or beach swimwear cover-ups in Australia—lightweight, breathable, and perfect for warm weather—this collection is where you’ll find them.
