Great information in English about kimono wearing for men. This stuff is hard to find! Thanks. 👍💕

Kimono wearing tips for men, seen on. Like the ones you can find for women, those tips are pretty much adapted to traditional kimono etiquette. Everyday wearers take it a bit easier ;)

Unlike women, men wear their kimono collar close to neck.

Another trademark for men’s look is how the belt sits on wearer’s body. It has to be high on the back and low under the belly. This position is partly why some kimono wearers pad their tummy: men kimono+belt sits better when a bit chubby!

It is considered cute for women to walk with small inward steps. This gait is somehow linked to how women (can) dressed their kimono+juban (tighter on the legs than men).

You can avoid having your legs constricted by spreading your feet after dressing, like shown on picture above. This position will make kimono+juban split, loosening them and allowing you to walk more freely.

As men belt sits under the belly, collars tend to dishevel as moving. To correct that, first grab kimono collar near the neck and rectify by pulling fabric, sliding your hands toward the belt. Then, reach below the belt and pull the excess fabric.

When on a chair, don’t sit on your haori (it will get bad wrinkles). It is better to raise the back of your coat before sitting so it doesn’t get caught under you. It is also advised to not lean against back of chairs.

Lovely copper sculpture of floral kimono entitled "Wafuku" (Japanese traditional clothing) by Jaclyn Martin. The piece is installed for the Mansion at Strathmore exhibit Timeless Transformation, Kimono, Prints & Textiles. If I had the money and the place to put this, it would be mine! 😍
