It is easy even for yukata beginners ♪ Points to enjoy coordination with a single yukata

Yukata from a few years ago, reborn with obi

Don’t you think that you want to wear a yukata this year, but you only have a yukata many years ago…”” It’s hard to make a new yukata…”
When trying to choose a yukata, most people first try to choose the yukata itself.However, in fact, yukata and kimono have a “necessary” coordinate for Japanese clothing.

For a long time, these words have been said about tying kimonos.
“Three strips on a piece of kimono”
Yukata several years ago, no matter how many decades ago a mother’s yukata, just change the obi and the atmosphere of the yukata and kimono will change dramatically.
The area of ​​the belt is much smaller than yukata and kimono.Because the area ratio is completely different, it is a feature of Japanese kimono that color matching that is difficult with clothes is possible.And because the area of ​​the band is small, just by making the band the leading role, the eyes of the viewers gather in the band, so the impression of yukata and kimono also changes drastically.

Now, I would like to introduce two points for choosing a band that will reinvent a yukata several years ago.

The first is to choose a modern beautiful half-width band.
Lemon yellow, magenta, wine red, turquoise, royal blue…If you change it to a modern beautiful half-width band without being constrained by Japanese traditional colors…Oh mysterious!
While old yukata or classic yukata, the atmosphere changes dramatically and you can quickly get lost.

Another way to reinvent a yukata is to add a shining point.
That is, after tightening the half-width band, tighten the band through the band.As for the obi that you want to choose in the yukata, we recommend small and shiny things such as dragonfly balls and Swarovski.Just like a thin necklace, it adds brilliance to the entire outfit.Use a thin, flat tie called a three-part string or a two-part tie to tie the tie.The thin and flat banding creates a delicate and stylish look.

Rather than renewing the yukata itself, you can spend less money if you only buy obi and obi.First of all, please make use of your yukata and enjoy the coordination!

Let’s control the difference between yukata and a wide range of TPO

Okay, here is the question.
“What is the difference between yukata and what?”
Yukata was originally said to have originated from Yuka Tachira, a nobleman of the Heian era who wore when he took a steam bath.In the Edo period, cotton production began in Japan, and cotton yukata spreads among townspeople such as Edo and Osaka.The yukata was worn on the way to and from the bathhouse.Because of that, yukatas are originally very casual.
Some elderly people say, “Yukata must be worn after 15:00 in the summer evening!”

However, in modern times, this is no longer a thing that can be clearly separated from yukata, this is a kimono.
The difference between yukata and kimono is ＜difference in style of wearing＞.
＜Yukata Style＞ is a clog on bare feet by wearing a yukata in one piece and easily tightening the half-width band.On the other hand, ＜Kimono Style＞ also wears the same “Yukata”, wearing a Nagayu inside and showing a half-bowl inside.And you should wear tabi instead of bare feet.This is what the staff often say when you go to the yukata section, “You can wear this yukata as a kimono if you wear a long-sleeved kimono inside.”

The ＜Kimono Style＞ ranks higher than the ＜Yukata Style＞ and goes away.If you compare it to clothes, ＜Yukata Style＞ is a feeling of beach sandals with bare feet on T-shirts and jeans.Fireworks display, summer festivals, hanging out in local shopping streets, drinking at a familiar izakaya, and so on.
Even in the same yukata, wearing a kimono with ＜Kimono Style＞ and wearing a tabi will improve the impression of dress and fashionable sandals.
＜Kimono Style＞ If you are worried about “a yukata is too casual,” such as a stylish restaurant, a museum, or a concert, you can go with peace of mind.
(However, ＜Kimono Style＞ But yukata is yukata, so it will be rude for weddings and other ceremonies and big events.)

＜Yukata Style＞ and ＜Kimono Style＞
If you can coordinate both, you will have a lot of opportunities to wear ♪

Even if you tend to choose simple monotone clothes, you can wear a yukata that has a color and pattern that you can’t easily choose.
Please discover yourself differently while enjoying the yukata!
