Please try correction for yukata.
Hello, I'm Yukiwa!
The trick to wearing a yukata beautifully is "adjustment"!
Kimono seems a little difficult to wear. But I think many people think that they can put on a yukata by themselves by watching a video.
The key is simply "correction"!
If you're someone who thinks, "I just want to wear something casual like a yukata, so I don't need any adjustments," then please just close this page (lol).
But really, the foundation is important . Especially for those who are not used to dressing in kimono, correction is important!
The difference between the beauty of Japanese clothing and Western clothing
The ideal clothes are ones that show off the curves and have a tight waist, creating a well-defined line. A dress is a typical example of this.
On the other hand, traditional Japanese clothing is the opposite. It is considered beautiful to eliminate curves and create a straight line.
But the real reason why yukatas need adjustments is...
Because summer makes you sweat!
When you go out in a yukata, you'll be walking a lot!
The reason is very simple: it is this "compensation" that makes the skin resistant to sweat and movement.
Recommended correction points and methods
Put a towel around your waist
If you are slim, use 2-3 towels, and even if you are plump, place one around your waist.
Avoid the front of your stomach and fill in the narrow areas on both sides.
Effect 1: Absorbs sweat
Yukata are often made from materials that do not absorb sweat well, so there is a concern that the color may fade or transfer.
The towel absorbs sweat, making you more comfortable.
It's also effective to place a hand towel folded into a triangle on your chest.
Effect 2: The waist strap can be tightened firmly
Without proper adjustment, the waist straps will dig in and cause discomfort, so you'll end up loosening them.
However, this can make the clothes more likely to come undone.
The towel acts as a cushion, helping you tighten the garment and keeping it from coming undone.
Be careful when choosing towels
Be careful with colors and patterns! If you use a brightly patterned towel under a white yukata, it may be visible through the fabric.
To prevent the characters of "XX Bank" from showing through the glass,
Try to choose plain, light-colored towels (although these days it's rare to receive towels with a bank name on them).
With just a little ingenuity, you can wear a yukata comfortably.
With just a little effort, it will look and feel much better.
This summer, be sure to "adjust" your yukata and enjoy it!
