Now that we are (finally) seeing some sunshine and brighter days, it could be time to put away those winter woollies.

As any Irish person knows though, it's a dangerous move to venture outside without some kind of jacket, even on a gorgeous spring afternoon! That's why we're stocking up on some lighter pieces like kimonos, perfect for layering up without overheating!

Here are our top five high street kimonos…

1. Oasis
This midnight blue kimono jacket is a little more structured than the regular free-flowing style, so is perfect if you're looking for something a little more formal.

2. New Look
We love this relaxed cardigan-style kimono – how gorgeous would it look over boyfriend jeans and a white tee?

3. H&M
Festival season is just around the corner and this maxi-length kimono is the perfect piece to bring along – light enough to roll up and pop in your backpack if the sun comes out to play!

4. Urban Outfitters
Make a statement with a dramatic colour palette – this kimono will take you right into autumn.
