Gottex Jungle Fever Kimono

Gottex helps us cover up on the beach in style with this Jungle Fever Kimono.

This is a truly luxurious cover-up made in Morocco entirely from silk. The rich jewel toned design is inspired by the wilds of the jungle. It's like a modern take on floral, with vibrant green foliage dotted with small red blooms. The print appears a little more abstract on the soft draped fabric, which should help ensure it doesn't date. We can cinch it in with a belt or leave the tie behind to create a more casual open look.

It's worth noting that this is a fashion cover-up rather than a sun smart wardrobe addition. The thin material should keep evening chills at bay and give you a little more modesty as you make your way to the car after a dip. However it's too flimsy to prevent harmful ultra-violet rays from penetrating during the daylight hours.

As with anything made from pure silk, this kimono also requires a little upkeep to stay in prime condition. Gottex suggests we hand wash it with mild soap in cool water before drying it in the shade. This may be more effort than many of us want to make on our summer vacation, but it's the best way to get value from this $248 investment.
