In ancient Japan, a kimono for men was designed and tailored conservatively with subdued color choices. The sash around the waist, or technically termed as obi is more narrow than in the kimono for women and created with more simplicity, as its just knotted in the back. Comparatively, the kimono designed for women were more creative in its design and also much more colorful. Bright colors and even patterns with floral motifs were the more common choice of a kimono material meant for women.

Kimono does not only represent nationality but also age and social status which assist in distinguishing an individual personally upon greeting. Marital status can also be guessed in accordance to the type of kimono worn by a women or men. An unmarried woman would be dressed in a colorful looking kimono with sleeves that are flowing till the wrists however if a woman is married, the sleeves would be much more short. Brides on the other hand are dressed in a plain white kimono and use a red outer kimono as a wrap for their ceremony.

But in today’s Japan, the Kimono is mostly a traditional outfit meant for specific occasions. Elderly people are seen often using the kimono as a comfort outfit at home. Kimono’s used for celebrations or functions often possess elaborate design, woven embroidery or dyed designs however if the outfit is meant for a more casual use then it would be much simpler in look and design.

Instead of just using a kimono as apparel, it has also become a fashion statement for many to use it as a blouse or jacket teamed with jeans, shorts, pants or skirts. Contemporary fashion has made kimono an outfit which can be classified as east meets west with its unique designs.
