"Start with wrapping the left side over the right (as the reverse is used for funerals). Secure it with a koshi-himo (thin sash) before adding the obi, the wide belt that defines the waist. Keep your collar neat and high, and let the sleeves drape gracefully. Complete the look with zori sandals and tabi socks. The true elegance of a kimono lies in how it inspires poised, refined movements."

FAQ
Why do Japanese women wear kimonos?
Japanese women wear kimonos for a variety of cultural and traditional reasons. They are often worn during festivals, ceremonies like weddings or tea gatherings, and significant family events to show respect for customs, tradition, and cultural heritage. The kimono embodies elegance and the essence of Japanese femininity.
What is a yukata vs kimono?
A yukata is a casual, lightweight version of a kimono, typically made of cotton and worn during summer events, festivals, or as comfortable loungewear. Kimonos, on the other hand, are more formal garments made from elaborate materials such as silk, with many layers and accessories, and are worn on special occasions.
How can you tell if a kimono is male or female?
You can distinguish between a male and female kimono by observing the sleeves and patterns. Female kimonos typically have long, flowing sleeves and vibrant, elaborate patterns, often including flowers or nature motifs. Male kimonos, however, have shorter sleeves and more subdued colors and patterns, emphasizing simplicity and subtlety.
