Some short kimonos are just a layer. Ours are a mood. At Moa, every women's short kimono jacket is designed to move with you — soft, intentional, and effortlessly beautiful. Whether you are heading to brunch, layering over swimwear, or staying cosy at home, these pieces add a little magic to everyday moments.
The collection spans Mediterranean-inspired short kimonos in cotton and double gauze, short-sleeve layers for warm weather, and lightweight kimono jackets that pack easily for travel — each cut to flatter petite frames too.
Short Kimono Robes, Cropped & Mini Kimonos
A short kimono robe sits at the hip or upper thigh, so it moves like a jacket rather than a dressing gown. Cropped kimonos stop at the waist and work over high-waisted pants and skirts; mini kimonos fall just below the hip and double as a cover-up over swimwear. All of them open at the front and tie or hang loose, so you can wear one as a robe at home and as a layer when you go out.
Short Sleeve Kimonos & Lightweight Layers
A lightweight kimono is your best friend in warm weather — airy and unstructured, it keeps you cool while adding movement to any outfit. Reach for the cream kimono jacket, the white kimono cardigan, the green kimono robe, the black kimono robe, or the silver moon jacket.
Printed & Evil Eye Short Kimonos
From protective evil-eye prints to celestial motifs, our printed short kimonos bring warmth and intention to every look. See the evil eye robe, the evil eye beach kimono, the evil eye cover up, the frayed festival robe, and the Venus star lounge kimono.
Hooded Kimonos & Ponchos
For a little more cover, the hooded styles add a relaxed, laid-back ease: the sun and moon hooded kimono, the crescent moon hooded robe, the green kimono hoodie, the white poncho hoodie, the black hoodie cardigan, and the beige poncho hoodie.
Beach Cover-Ups
Made for sand and sun, the black swimsuit cover up in sheer cotton voile layers easily over a bikini — an effortless beach-to-dinner piece.
Made for Petites
If you have ever found kimonos too long or overwhelming, this collection was made with you in mind. Our short kimonos sit above the knee — proportional, light, and beautifully balanced for petite women. Prefer more length? See our long kimono robes.
FAQs
What is a short kimono called?
Traditionally, a short kimono is known as a haori. In modern fashion, the terms short kimono jacket or short kimono robe describe these lighter, more casual everyday styles.
What is the difference between a short kimono robe and a cropped kimono?
A short kimono robe falls to the hip or upper thigh; a cropped kimono stops at the waist and is worn more like a jacket over high-waisted pieces.
How do I style a short kimono jacket?
Layer it over jeans and a simple top, a summer dress, or swimwear. A belted style creates a short kimono dress effect for a more defined silhouette.
What fabrics are best for short kimonos?
Cotton and linen are ideal for everyday wear — breathable, soft, and easy to care for. Both are used throughout the Moa short kimono collection.
What is the difference between a short kimono and a cardigan?
A short kimono flows with open sleeves and a relaxed drape, while a cardigan is typically knit and more fitted. A short-sleeve kimono offers more airiness and movement.
Are short kimonos good for petites?
Yes, especially ours. Moa short kimonos sit above the knee, a natural fit for petite women who want a proportional, effortless layer.
