Using accessories around the obi to enhance your yukata

Adding a tie to the usual yukata coordinates

The easiest way to make changes is to add banding and banding to your usual coordination.
The band is originally a string used to fasten the Nagoya band or the bag band.It is not necessary for the half-width band to match the yukata, but it can be used as an accent if it is attached as a decoration.If you choose one of the colors used for yukata and obi as the color of the band, it’s easy to match.

Obidome is an ornament that is used through tie fastening.If you match it with a yukata, the glass tie will look cool in summer.Recently, there are many transparent products using resin.
Thing to pay attention to when attaching the obi is the thickness of the obi.If it is generally called “banding”, it will be thicker than the tie fittings and will not fit, so be sure to choose a thin string called “third quarter string” or “four quarter string”.

A substitute for banding and banding available at handicraft stores

If you only have a yukata only a few times a year, you don’t need a very expensive one.In that case, why not try another one?

You can use ribbons, laces, and Tyrolean tapes sold at handicraft stores.It’s more pop and individual than a typical obi strap, so it’s recommended for people who don’t like wearing around.The length of 1m is enough, so you can get it for several hundred yen depending on the type.

You can substitute a tie with a brooch.The metal fittings for passing the band are available at the handicraft store, so you can use it as a band by simply passing it through the needle of the brooch.European-style brooches, etc., sold at secondhand clothing stores, are surprisingly compatible with Japanese clothing!

Your favorite hair accessory can be used as a band decoration

You can also use hairpins and hair accessories for the band decoration.
If you have a hairpin, insert it between the obi and yukata.If the head accessory is of a type that can be fastened with a clip, it will become gorgeous if it is attached so as to sandwich the belt.However, please note that depending on the material of the band or clip, marks may remain on the band.

The hair accessories don’t have to be Japanese!
Even if it is used for clothes, it fits unexpectedly.If something a little bigger for parties like sleeping at a wedding ceremony is sleeping in the closet, why not try it once with a yukata?

Try a soldier band that is easy to tie

If you want to change the atmosphere greatly, why don’t you change the band?

Recommended is a soft and flaky band called the infant band, which has no core.It is an image attached by a small child, but it is easy and pretty even if an adult woman attaches it.Although it depends on the material, if you look at the web shop, you can purchase from around 2,000 yen, so it may be cheaper than obi tightening.

It’s easy to tie it up.Since it becomes a crisp shape when tied, it will look like a fluffy silhouette even with a little bow and trimming.
There are many people who are not good at tying knots and use the “made sash” with knots already formed, but even beginners can try it easily.

Hand-held accessories for clothes can be used unexpectedly!

If you want to change the atmosphere easily, we recommend adding decoration around the belt.There are many cute Japanese ornaments, but first look back at your accessory case.

You might find something that matches your yukata unexpectedly and create a new coordination!
