Yukata, also known as a casual summer kimono, is a traditional Japanese garment that enjoys great popularity. It is light, easy to wear and suitable for many activities, including going out during a festival or relaxing at home. How does a plus size yukata work and how can you look and feel good in it? Let’s jump right into some recommendations and suggestions that will make you feel fabulous in that yukata.
Selecting the Perfect Yukata
First things first, that is the design and the fit of the yukata should be one of the most important factors to consider. Plus size yukata are made for plus size individuals. Among them, there are several that are designed to fit the waist and hips more loosely than usual. Most of the plus-size yukata sizes are for waist measurements between thirty-five and fifty-three inches.
Patterns and Colors
When selecting clean wide-brimged sarees, the combinations of patterns and colors are also wider than those mentioned before. Nevertheless, not all of them can accentuate your figure equally. Vertical striping or small details tends to slim a person even visually. Darker shades such as navy blue, black and dark red, are also very complementary to the figure. But of course, if you are fond of striking patterns then do not hold back. I am sure everyone would agree the most important factor is just picking something right that gives you a boost.
The Obi Belt
There is no more denying that the obi belt is one of the components of yards of material that also comes with a yukata. For plus-size individuals, a broader obi would actually be more comfortable and provide a better hold. When putting on an obi, always ensure that it is fitted enough to give your waist an outline yet not too fitted. An obi can be tied in different ways from simply knotting to in the form of a bow. Try out two or three different ways and see what works for you.
Layering for Comfort
Layering can serve to both enhance and dress the yukata you intend to put on. A cooler garment is ideal and consider a very light inner with this in cases of possible rubbing. Others like to put on a light and sleek top underneath this for comfort.
Accessorizing Your Yukata
Make up is not the only thing that can make one look appealing while putting on a yukata. Below are some of right numerous options available.
- Geta Sandals: Simple wooden sandals that are best suited for the yukata.
- Hand Fans: Essential during a hot day but can also complete an outfit.
