"What's Next: Traditional Japanese Attire Meets Down Styles? The New and Stylish Look of 'Relaxed Fluffy Japanese Outfits'!"

The Next Trend: Kimono × Down Style!?

When it comes to bridal hair that matches traditional Japanese attire, updos are the standard, right?

Although there's a difference in atmosphere between the sleek, polished hairstyles typical of kimono and the trendy loose, tousled looks,

the recognition of "kimono hair = updo" has been the norm.

However, recently, we've been seeing brides pairing down styles with white wedding kimonos and colorful uchikake!

While down styles with wedding dresses have been a staple for outfit changes, combining down styles with traditional Japanese attire feels very fresh.

It creates a modern impression with a Japanese flair.*

This is perfect for brides who want to wear a kimono in a unique and individualistic way!

(Since there's also the thought that traditional attire is best complemented by showing the nape of the neck... it might be good to consider the opinions of the groom and family as well.*)

Here are some cutting-edge bridal hairstyles featuring kimono × down styles! ♩
