Men’s kimono
Kimono (Japanese: 着物 literally “something one wears”) are the traditional garments of Japan.
Kimono was originally a word that referred to all types of clothing, but the word eventually came to refer specifically to the full-length robe-like garment still worn by women, men and children today.
Men’s kimono
The main distictions between modern men’s kimono are in the fabric and the design. Most men’s kimono are of subdued, dark colour; common colours are black, dark blues and greens, and occasionally brown. Fabrics are usually matte. Some have a subtle pattern, and textured fabrics are common in more casual kimono. More casual men’s kimono may be of slightly brighter colour, such as lighter purples, greens and blues, but sumo wrestlers have occasionally been known to wear quite bright colours such as fuchsia.
The most formal style of men’s kimono is plain black with five kamon on the chest, shoulders and back. Slightly less formal is the three-kamon kimono. These are usually paired with white undergarments and accessories.
Almost any kimono outfit can be made more formal by wearing hakama and haori.
