Japanese Kimonos: Timeless Elegance
The Japanese kimono is a typical Japanese garment, in fact it is a garment that was only worn by women for special occasions only. Over the centuries, the Japanese kimono has become Westernized and has undergone many variations such as the beach kimono, abaya kimonos and many others.
But today the kimono that is still the most worn in Japan by women is indeed the traditional Japanese kimono!
How to choose your Japanese kimono?
In order to choose your Japanese kimono perfectly, it is important to ask yourself a few questions. First of all, concerning the color(s) of your kimono. If you are a rather discreet, introverted person, we advise you to go for rather simple and discreet kimonos. On the other hand, if you like to be seen and/or you want to wear your kimono for a theme party or other, you can definitely go for flashier kimonos with lots of patterns and colors.
If you are a man, don't worry, we also have men's kimonos.
How to Wear Your Japanese Kimono
At first glance, wearing a kimono can seem rather intimidating and that's completely understandable. You have 2 ways to wear a Japanese kimono, you have the Western way, that is to say, wearing your kimono with a pair of shoes or sneakers without too much hassle like for the kimono dress, or by respecting Japanese culture (by crossing the left side over the right side, wearing white socks, putting a knot behind and wearing nagajuban under your kimono)
If you want to keep it simple we recommend the first method, then if you are a fan of Japanese culture or if you are going to Japan the 2nd method will be much more immersive.
