It might be one of the world\u2019s most\niconic pieces of fashion. but what is a kimono? The classic kimono jacket is a\ntraditional Japanese garment. When translated, the word kimono means; \u201csomething\nto wear<\/em>.\u201d These full-length robes are instantly recognisable, thanks to\ntheir unique cut, beautiful designs, and captivating colours.

Kimonos<\/a> can range from being super colourful and elaborate, to relatively plain and subtle. There are different styles of kimono for various occasions and seasons. Although less common these days, traditional kimonos are still widely worn on special occasions, such as weddings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
