This is the full Kimono. The colors and patterns are so beautiful and elegant.

Often times, many women will wear red lipstick and whitened foundation for a more pale look. Being pale shows that you are wealthy in dated Japanese history.

The belt (Obi) of the kimono is the highlight feature when wearing a kimono. It secures the kimono in place and shows a sense of style.

Many accessories are added to the kimono for elegance and honor. More accessories are usually added for special occasions such as the coming of age ceremony.

Traditional sandals (Zori) and socks (Tabi) are an essential part of the Kimono. It shoes elegancy and functionality.

Traditional hair is always worn up. They style with flowers, pins and metals to create a beautiful design.
