Not just a drawstring! Tips for choosing a bag that matches your yukata

What are the conditions for a bag that looks good on a yukata?
～ Size, shape, etc.

The key word for yukata is “looks light”.Since the yukata made of sheer fabric is lightly worn as a clog with bare feet, it is better to choose small and light accessories.
Drawstring pouches, which are sometimes sold as a set with yukata, are a typical example.If you are walking in a crowded place such as a festival, the drawstring is the right size.If you want to carry more luggage, choose a bag that is horizontally long rather than vertically long, and your eyes will go up and the balance will be good.

In addition, it is recommended that the handle be held in the hand rather than the shoulder type.Holding it over your shoulder will also lead to the crumbling of your heels, and the sleeves will stick to your eyes.Please choose the one with the shortest handle.However, if it is a small item such as a pochette, it is cute to put on your shoulder, and it is convenient to have both hands open for walking at night shops.

For lunch and tea in the city, it’s also fashionable to wear a clutch bag.If you match it with a chic yukata, it will be an urban coordination.

And, for the sake of lightness, let’s pay attention to the selection of materials.Leather and velvet are materials that are often used in Japanese-style bags, but are not suitable for summer due to their profound feeling.If the material is transparent, such as a basket bag or see-through, it will not make a heavy impression even if it is large to some extent.

3 types of yukata bags

Pouch

Speaking of a yukata bag, it is a drawstring.Recently, it is often sold as a set with yukata and obi.Inside are wallets, smartphones, handkerchiefs and so on, but it is difficult to be small, but it doesn’t get in the way even in crowds, and it can be worn on the wrist, so it is easy to eat the stalls.
By the way, do you know how to properly hold a purse? Tie a string with a bow and hold a looped part.The one with the short handle looks good and elegant.In addition to having a long handle and swinging around! If the bottom of the purse has a basket, hold it with one hand like Maiko.

Bags woven from rattan and tatami are cool items that can produce summeriness at once.A lot of basket bags come out every year from Japanese clothing brands, but of course, bags purchased at clothes shops are OK.The atmosphere changes greatly in shape and size, so it is nice to coordinate with yukata and hairstyles in total.
If the wicker mesh has a tight shape, the hair style will be elegant with a ball gown.If it’s a casual design made of straw material, you can use a braided braided hair to make it look like a country.If the size is small, the pochette type will be a cute image.

Clear bag

The trendy PVC bag (clear bag) isn’t a Japanese-style image in summer, but it suits yukata unexpectedly! With a pop impression, it will be a coordinate that makes a difference with people.If it is made as small as possible, it will prevent the bag from being noticeable and will fit well into the yukata.Yukata suits a modern pattern better than a classic pattern.

You can make a cute outfit without sticking to “Japanese style”!

You can choose a bag freely even if it is not a kimono or Japanese style just because it is a yukata! Why don’t you try to coordinate with a feeling of “comfortableness” by incorporating your favorite bags such as basket bags and clear bags?
