Wearing a kimono may seem like a daunting task, especially for beginners, but fear not, as we have the perfect guide for you. In just six easy steps, you can put on a kimono with ease and grace, suitable even for a yukata, the summer kimono that requires no additional undergarments.
To begin, gather two ties, a safety pin, and simple clothing items like a t-shirt with a large back opening and a wrap skirt or tank top. Follow these steps to master the art of wearing a kimono:
1. Begin by measuring one-third of one tie and positioning it on the back seam, ensuring 2/3 are on the left and 1/3 on the right.
2. Put on the kimono, align the collar folds, adjust the length, and width to your preference, and tuck and fold the fabric accordingly.
3. Secure the first tie above your hipbones and tie it at the back, ensuring a snug fit.
4. Adjust the layers of the tie on the front, creating a beautiful and balanced look.
5. Slide your hands underneath the layers to adjust and smooth the fabric.
6. Lastly, ensure the collar is neatly arranged, secured with the second tie, and that the back seam is straight and wrinkle-free.
By following these simple steps, you can wear a kimono effortlessly and exude traditional Japanese elegance. For more fashion tips and styling advice, explore resources like JAPANOBJECTS.COM or visit expert channels like Billy Matsunaga’s on YouTube.
