Women Formal Kimono

Question: Informal Obi tie for young unmarried women (not yukata)?

Can young unmarried woman also wear a drum obi? I’ve read that this style is for married women but I think I have also seen unmarried women wearing this style. I own some casual (town kimono) and I really want to know what the appropriate obi ties are for kimonos of this kind. They are informal kimono as apposed to yukata. Can you also use a ‘butterfly’ tie as commonly seen with yukata for the less formal kimono too? Please help! Example of appropriate ties would be wonderful.

Answer: Taiko musubi (drum obi) is kind of a basic, standard obi for any woman to wear with almost any kind of kimono (not yukata or furisode, probably, but you can get away with it with almost anything else). There's also tsunodashi, if you want something different. I don't think a butterfly obi would really work with anything other than a hanhaba obi, so you could wear it with some komon, but technically a nagoya obi is better to wear with komon and I've never seen anyone do a butterfly tie with nagoya obi.

Yukata

May 16th, 2009

What is Japanese Yukata?

The Japanese yukata is an unlined cotton kimono. Traditional Japanese yukata robe was put on after coming out of a hot steaming bath. Nowadays, Japanese yukata is worn during the summer months particularly at the celebration of festivals.

Yukata fabric

Yukata fabric is cotton.

Color of yukata kimono

Japanese yukata kimono designs give an impression of coolness and informality. Navy blue color on a white base or white color on a navy blue base are often seen. For young people, colorful yukata kimonos are common.

Under kimono for Yukata

Unlike other kimonos, the full length under kimono is not worn with the Japanese yukata kimono. Most of the time, the underwear under the Japanese yukata robe is made of cotton crepe.

The obi and geta sandals worn with Yukata kimono

The obi worn with Yukata kimono may be the Nagoya obi or the half width obi. Wooden geta sandals are worn instead of the tabi socks and zori sandals.
