Why is it a good deal? 💰

This mega-popular must-have is one you'll wear from now through Labor Day. It goes on sale throughout the year, but this is as low as we've seen it since 2022, and prices are bound to go up along with the temps. Note: Prices vary between sizes and colors, but most are marked down to less than $15.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Made of airy chiffon fabric, this flowy layering piece comes in more than 40 colors and prints, ranging from classic neutrals to eye-catching patterns. At these prices, don't blame us if you wind up buying several.

The kimono's open-front design makes it a snap to slip into. Plus, its gorgeous draping will elevate even the most casual jeans-and-tee outfit. It's effortlessly chic, with just enough coverage to give you extra warmth on breezy nights. You'll probably want to pair it with every article of clothing in your wardrobe, but it would also make a great little beach cover-up. The inclusive sizing ranges from S–5XL.

What reviewers say 💬

We're assuming you've already added this pretty number to your cart, but in case you need more persuading, here's what some of 45,000-plus five-star reviewers think about the kimono cardigan.

Pros 👍

"Very lightweight, flattering layer," wrote one fan. "I love it so much, even more than I expected. It fits nicely and doesn't add bulk to my look. I already have four other patterns picked out ... This is so pretty and flowy."

"I bought this to cover my upper arms when I wear a tank or sleeveless top," said another reviewer. "Not wanting anything heavy for the summer, I opted for this sheer cardigan. It is exactly what I wanted, cover without overheating! I bought two others in patterns that are perfect for dressing up leggings or jeans."

"Amazing, drapes beautifully," gushed a happy shopper. "This is a gorgeous piece. You can take any piece of clothing and dress it up nicely with this, even just a plain T-shirt. Very soft and smooth against your skin. Many fabrics make me itchy and this does not at all. Beautiful in person!"

"I have a few of these in different prints. I'm a huge fan," wrote a fourth satisfied customer. "They are so easy to throw on and jazz up an outfit. I've also used it as a swimsuit cover-up. They wash perfectly and don't rip at the armpit seams like some other kimonos have. They are lightweight and flowy. Just perfect!"

Cons 👎

Some reviewers say the kimono is a bit on the short side. "Disappointed that the front length is way too short," shared one. "Much, much shorter than the back."

A final reviewer reported, "A little on the short side if you were going to use as a swimsuit cover-up."

Bring the resort vibes to your summer wardrobe with this sheer, easy-to-wear layer.

Another on-sale summer must? A comfy pair of shorts:

Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts, which feature an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. They're made from a soft cotton blend (the black and navy options are 100% cotton!), and reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises.

"The side pockets are deep but not bulky, the length is perfect so that it's modest but doesn't make me feel like a granny, the waist isn't too tight and adjustable if you need the tie, and the fabric is substantial without being too heavy," one fan raved. "And being the penny-pincher I am, the price absolutely can't be beat!"
