    Yukatas are probably helping keeping kimono culture alive in Japan. Being made of less expensive materials that doesn’t stain as easily, people in Japan are probably less apprehensive to spend money on them and wear them in public.

      I never wore any kind of kimono, but from what I understand, they’re easier to put on yourself while formal silk kimonos usually require help from kimono experts.
      Formal kimonos, especially for women, usually require many accessories like the obijime cord wrapped around the obi belts that the yukata obi doesn’t require. Yukatas are also usually shorter so they’re easier to walk in than formal kimonos that are up to the ankles and tightly wrapped around the legs.

      It really depends actually. Alot of young people in Japan are too afraid of "standing out" by wearing 和服wafuku. However expensive western brands are not seen that way, so it is actually a very complicated issue because really kimono that are not for special occasions are just fashion and plenty of cheaper materials are used now. I wear kimono everyday and people do not stare and will not make you feel uncomfortable. In short kimono is tradition and fashion and i hope Japanese people and foreigners both wear more often.

    I have been wearing kimono casually as part of my wardrobe for a while now. In the beginning, it was Sunao-sensei who not only helped me learn how to put it on exactly the way I want to, she also has a very open perspective that makes wearing kimono less daunting a and more fun. Now I wear them out all the time and experiment with different stylings. Sunao-sensei is incredible! I watch her videos even if I’m not putting on kimono 😂💖

    A number of years ago I stayed with a friend who used Hakama as bath robes. They were incredibly comfortable and the reason why I now own a summer kimono that I'll wear casually around the house. Men's clothing is so typically boring that finding outfits that are both stylish and comfortable is something of a treasure for me.

    Her comments about ohashori were really interesting. One of the reasons I, as a tall foreigner, am so reluctant to wear kimono outside is that the only ones I can afford are vintage and therefore often not long enough for me to make a proper ohashori (thanks to her, now I understand that even people back then didn't bother with ohashori!). I don't want people to think that I'm not wearing ohashori because I don't know how to dress myself properly. :( I will check out her channel though; I would love to learn more about how to properly match fabric patterns to the seasons and colour coordination.

    Kimonos are incredibly fashinating and elegant, both for men and women. When I visited Japan I had a lesson about kimono wearing and tea ceremony. It has been an incredible experience, which still today I suggest to any friend. I think it is also a wonderful way to lear more about Japanese culture, sense of beauty and harmony. Moreover, it was very confortable also for an European like me. I love them! Please, export kimono culture also in Italy!

    I watched both parts and what was said and 'between the lines' needs additional time for me to carefully think through. However, with the styling part (especially with the 'first date' one!) it made me imagine what it would be like back in history when perhaps a Mother was styling the kimono for their daughter for the equivalent of a first date (maybe a rare 'before marriage meet' with at minimum a chaperone). I would like to see how someone would dress another, using items that might be used to assist etc (such as a historical version of the clips!).

    I think that the hardest part about obtaining kimono currently is that many kimono sites do not have hip size or a filter for it. As someone who has had many weight fluctuations including obesity, at times, I do not fit the standard kimono. In order for me to get the right size, I have to go through item after item and, on certain sites, calculate it from ushiromigoro and maemigoro, which can be overwhelming to someone who is new to kimono. Learning how to do the calculations and understanding what the numbers mean, I feel, is hard to find online, especially, if the words are new to someone. I even know some websites that have the mae/ushiro haba or migoro in the diagram, but front/post width in the description in the kimono, assuming the customer will put the two together. It makes me miss ichiroya so terribly for the fact that I could filter a kimono from everything to a color on the color wheel to what size would best fit me. Also, the diagrams of the condition were meticulous.

    You mentioned women wearing mens kimono, is it possible to wear kimono in a genderless way, or say wear a womens kimono in a more masculine way or a mens kimono in a more feminine way, (ie add the ohashori or wear a nagoya obi, ect.)

    Or could you mix and match parts of both kimono to make what you like best?

    I went to Kimono-Sunao's site to find out if it's possible to tie an obi by yourself, among other things a beginning kimono wearer should know. Unfortunately, I don't read calligraphy and don't speak Japanese. There are no English sub-titles.
    Please, wear can I find a knowledgeable and easily understood beginner's dressing guide for a solo woman?
    I'm also hoping the question of what is worn underneath the juban will be discussed. And now that masks have become a part of daily dressing, will they reflect the colors, patterns and accessories that yukata/kimono do?
    Thank you so much for your work. Dad taught me domo arigato.

    I'm a sumo fan, and one of my favorite types of UA-cam videos are those of rikishi arriving at the basho venue. It's cool that they always wear traditional Japanese dress when in public.

    I really appreciate the bit about "women" wearing "male" clothing. In my own culture, I wouldn't blink twice and simply wear what I please, but I take care with cultures I may insult in some manner with my rashness. I'm not a woman but I can be perceived that way rather easily so I'd simply wear my own culture's more androgynous wear if it were a huge deal. I personally love plain colors without flair etc etc. I find the hakama increddddibly cool compared to the kimono with elaborate designs and embroidery, and luckily I'm flat enough that adjustments shouldn't be much of a deal. I really enjoy how casually they skimmed over that topic since, imo, fabric ain't meant to be gendered.

      The tabi socks? When wearing kimono I find shoes like geta and zouri to be a lot easier to put on and take off than any other shoes. Such traditional shoes are thonged and you need to have a space between the big toe and the rest of the toes to wear them. Normal socks are not compatible.
