[Explanation with photos] Tips for choosing the perfect kimono material and pattern for your body type
Your preference of material and color pattern is also an important factor, but there are some points to keep in mind depending on your body type. Please use this as a reference.
[Thin people]
Suitable materials for kimonos include Shibori, Tsumugi, and Onishibochirimen.
However, avoid fabrics that are too soft as they can clearly show the contours of your body.
[Plump person]
A stiff and stiff kimono made of shibori or pongee will make you look a little heavier.
The soft fabric picks up the lines of your body. We recommend a thin and firm fabric.
[Tall person]
A kimono with a large pattern suits you.
Taking advantage of being tall, you can wear large patterns.
[Short person]
Avoid large ones.
Small items and items with small flying patterns are suitable.
The size of the obi and the drum is small. Think about the balance with your height.
What you should be especially careful about is that you should not wear tall sandals just because you are short.
It actually makes you look shorter.
