What is a Similar Look in Kimonos 💭?

Similar Look Coordination with Kimono Rental
👆The image is something like this!👆

This time we coordinated kimono rentals in pale tones of blue and pink♡

If you’re going to wear a kimono, you’ll want to wear one that reflects your and your friend’s preferences and looks great in photos when lined up together🥰

The key to a similar kimono coordination is not only how it looks when lined up but also that each kimono coordination is cute on its own!

How to Create a Similar Look

This time we introduce how to create such similar coordinates!
There are just 3 key points 📝✨

Please refer to these when choosing your kimono☺

① Choose kimonos of a similar style

First, you choose the kimonos◎
Choosing the right kimono is the most important part when creating a similar coordination👐

For similar kimono coordination, it’s okay if the kimonos are not completely different colors as long as the atmosphere is close!

Similar Look Coordination with Kimono Rental
These kimono coordinations actually have different patterns 😲

This time, we looked for kimonos with a similar vibe, focusing on 【floral patterns】×【light colors】.

You can freely combine other elements, such as 【antique】×【fine patterns】, 【large patterns】×【light colors】, and more…

The most important thing is that the first impression is similar 😂

② Use different colors (or the same) accessories!

Once you’ve chosen the kimonos, next is selecting the accessories📝
The point of choosing accessories is to make sure they are different colors (or exactly the same)◎

It’s okay if kimonos have a similar vibe even if they are not different colors, but
accessories should be matched well to easily achieve a similar look☺

This time, we matched the embroidered collars, and the bags, belts, tulle, and belt decorations are all different colors👀✨

The unity when lined up is perfect👍♡

And of course, each individual coordination is also cute🥺💕
