@sparkysparkyboomman you said a furisode is the most formal for unmarried women, and then you said a kurotomesode is the most formal for unmarried women.....i don't get it...lol

[sparkysparkyboomman]

@sparkysparkyboomman wait, I'm not done yet xDDD

Last but not least is Susohiki / Hikizuri These kimono's are usually worn by geisha or stage performers.

I hoped that helps ;D

@sparkysparkyboomman but for Komon it depends on the type of Obi you wear. Mofuku is mourning wear for women, you wear it while attending funerals. Tomesode has two different pattern types, Irotomesode, a single colored kimono, but its slightly less formal than Kurotomesode, Kurotomesode is a black kimono only below the waistline. Also Kurotomesode is the most formal for unmarried women. Tsuesage is worn by married women. Uchikake is extremely formal and is only worn by brides or stage performer

@meow23 Like attackofdameepits said, yukata is for summer festivals, or other informal occassions. Kimono has different degree's of formality, Some can be less formal while others are really formal. A Furisode is the most formal for unmarried women, Homongi literally means visiting wear, you wear it while visiting others in their homes. Iromuji can be worn by married and unmarried women, it is mostly worn for tea ceremonies, Komon can be worn both formally and informally,

@meow23

Yukata are made of a light cotton worn for summer festivals. Also a kimono has many different styles. I would say this is only one.

@iloveyou8770 well i google it and yukata is from japan The origin of the yukata goes back to the Heian era (794-1194). Noblemen would wear a type of robe when they took a steam bath in order to avoid direct contact with hot steam. It is said that noblemen in the Heian era had a custom of not being naked even inside a bathtub. Those robes were originally called yukatabira, but ordinary people started wearing them on the way home from a public bath and the name was shortened to yukata.
