Little too short!

One of my favorite kimono is a little to short now. Its my brown with stripes awase. I love it so much! Especially because of the stripes, but it was one of my first kimono too!

I wore it anyway, with a hat and regular shoes. I dont think it looks too bad even if it is short. Ive seen other men wearing shorter kimono, so I say if its not TOO short, go for it!

Wool again

I wore my blue wool kimono again but wore a red obi instead. Wool is so comfortable, and great for our weather here!

Etsy

Just wanted to take some time to show off my Etsy shop. Not much there yet but Iam working on getting some more stuff up.

Kitsuke Tips

I thought I would share some kitsuke tips for you guys out there.

Sneakers
Wearing sneakers with kimono can really add a modern touch to your outfit. Try and find some that are less chunky and have cool colors.

Sweaters
Sweaters can look really good underneath a kimono. They look best with a high neck like a turtle-neck. Choose a color that matches the rest of your ensemble. This will not only look great, but keep you warm!

Thats all I can think of now, so try them out!

Woolen Winter

I know, lame name but the past few days have been possibly the coldest days Ive ever experienced in my life! So I wanted to get my wool kimono on. Its a nice dark blue color, even though it looks black in the picture.



I also put my other wool kimono on the Immortal Geisha trading thread since the wingspan was too short. I really liked the yabane though. Oh well, maybe I'll get something better for it!
