I’m sure some of you out there have given up on wearing kimono before because they seem too hot in the summer, or so tight that they might be painful.
However, when you think about it, until recently most people cleaned, cooked, and raised their children all while wearing a kimono. If you learn the right tricks, kimono can be fun and easy to wear. You will get hooked on their charm, and start to enjoy all kinds of stylish combinations! Kimono are also sustainable and eco-friendly; you can pass them down from generation to generation, and they can always be changed and recycled without becoming garbage!
