6 Recommended Kimono Styles!! ~In-Depth Guide to Popular Styles~

Suddenly, let us ask—what kind of kimono would you like to wear when renting one?
Cool and stylish? Cute and girly? Since it’s a rare opportunity to wear a kimono, you surely want to choose the perfect one that suits you best.
However, when it comes time to actually choose, many people find themselves wondering: “What color suits me? What pattern? I have no idea how to coordinate everything…”
Of course, it also depends on the place or occasion where you will be going out!
So this time, we will introduce different kimono coordination styles divided into genres that match each scene and location.
Please use this as a reference♪

The perfect choice for dates is the Girly & Feminine style♡
Coordinate your kimono, obi, and accessories in the cutest way possible!!

If you want to wear a girly kimono, we recommend Liberty print kimonos with adorable small floral patterns♡
We have a wide range of colors available, including pastels, muted tones, and vivid hues!
Animal prints and lace kimonos are also highly recommended for girly lovers☆
Among them, lace kimonos are especially recommended in our staff-favorite DECOCO Plan♡
You can freely coordinate lace, frills, and ribbons to your heart’s content.
Pairing them with inner lace or arm lace makes the look even cuter♡

Pastel colors are recommended for feminine kimono styles☆
Combine a plain pastel kimono with an obi featuring a cute pattern for a lovely look!
Soft and elegant colors such as ivory, pink, and light purple add even more sweetness.
Add lace to the obi or collar to enhance the feminine charm!

For a more traditional kimono look, we recommend the Elegant & Antique style.
Perfect for slightly formal occasions such as shrine visits or tea ceremonies☆

Solid-color or small floral-patterned kimonos create a refined and graceful impression.
By alternating the depth of color and the amount of pattern between the kimono and obi, you can create contrast, giving your outfit sharper balance and sophistication.
For simple kimonos, we recommend the premium Nagoya Obi Plan!
With a wide selection of Nagoya obi, obiage, and obijime, you can enjoy mixing and matching for a more elegant look♪

At Okamoto, each store carries over 100 antique kimonos, from simple to richly patterned designs.
With the Nagoya Obi Plan, you can wear them in a mature and refined way, or with the DECOCO Plan, you can enjoy a retro-cute style—the possibilities are endless.
There are also many types of obi available, making coordination even more fun♪

Retro pop patterns are very common in yukata.
With their colorful tones and playful patterns, they’re perfect for fashionable girls who love to express individuality.
Add accessories like hats and pair them with boots, and you’ll have the look of a stylish retro girl♪

When you think of monochrome, black, white, and gray come to mind.
Black, in particular, creates a sharp silhouette and gives a bold, cool impression.
But if you only keep the items minimal, a monochrome coordination may end up looking a little plain…
That’s where adding an accent with a colorful obi or a statement obijime comes in handy—
It keeps the look simple yet chic☆

This time, we introduced six genres of kimono styles.
How was it? Did you find a favorite coordination?
The possibilities are endless!!
Even with the same kimono, by changing the obi, obijime, lace, or ribbons, you can create completely different styles.
Why not try creating your very own original coordination at Rental Kimono Okamoto?
