Types of Men's Kimono

The formality and style of kimonos for men can vary depending on the occasion if it's formal or more casual: 

Traditional Men Kimono

Traditional and formal kimonos worn by men are called Montsuki kimono and are worn for special occasions and formal events. It is characterized by the inclusion of family crests or mon, which are embroidered or dyed onto the fabric.

These formal kimono are usually reserved for ceremonies, weddings, or other significant events where traditional attire is appropriate. They showcase the cultural heritage and elegance of Japanese fashion, and the inclusion of the family crest adds a personal touch and connection to one's ancestry.

The Montsuki kimono for men typically has a subdued color and a simple design to highlight the family crest. It is often worn with Hakama (wide-legged trousers) and a haori or a kimono jacket on top. The family crest represents the wearer's lineage, and different crests hold specific meanings or associations with certain families.

Summer Kimono Men

A Yukata is the typical casual kimono worn by men in Japan during the summer season. It consists of a lightweight, and comfortable garment typically made of cotton or linen and feature vibrant colors and bold patterns. They are designed to be more relaxed and less formal compared to traditional kimono. The sleeves of men's yukata are typically shorter and narrower compared to women's yukata.

Yukata for men typically have a straight, unisex cut with straight sleeves and a wraparound style. They are secured at the waist with a narrow belt called a "koshihimo" and worn with a casual footwear like geta or zori sandals.

Men's Kimono Jacket

Men's kimono jackets are traditional Japanese outerwear garments. They have loose, wide sleeves and a straight-cut silhouette, usually made of silk or other fine fabrics. Men's kimono jackets often feature intricate patterns, embroidery, or textile designs. They are traditionally worn over a kimono or other traditional attire. Modern adaptations of men's kimono jackets incorporate various fabrics, patterns, and cuts while maintaining the essence of the traditional garment.

Haori Men

A haori typically is a loose and relaxed fit open jacket, with wide sleeves and a straight-cut silhouette is a most traditional form of a Japanese kimono jacket that can be traced back to the Heian period (794-1185). Originally, it was exclusively worn by men, but later became popular among women as well.

It is shorter in length compared to a kimono, usually reaching the hip or thigh area. The garment is worn open at the front, without any fastenings, and is often belted with a sash called an "obi" to secure it.

Do men wear kimonos?

Yes, men do wear kimonos. Kimonos are traditional Japanese garments that have been worn by both men and women for centuries. While kimonos are often associated with women's fashion, men have also embraced this elegant attire.

Historically, men's kimonos had distinct designs and styles compared to women's kimonos. Men's kimonos were typically simpler in design, with more subdued colors and patterns. They often featured shorter sleeves and a straighter cut, reflecting a more masculine aesthetic. In contrast, women's kimonos tended to be more elaborate and vibrant, showcasing intricate patterns and longer, flowing sleeves.

Today, men's kimonos continue to be worn on various occasions in Japan. They are commonly seen at traditional ceremonies, such as weddings, tea ceremonies, and other formal events. Men may also wear kimonos during festivals, cultural performances, and even as a fashion statement.
