Types of Kimonos

There are many types of kimonos. Let us name some. A iromuji and a houmongi are formal kimonos. They are meant to be worn on weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very formal parties. Some kimonos such as the yukata are casual kimonos. A yukata is a summer kimono. They are made of a cotton or synthetic fabric. The shirokakeshita is a kimono worn by the bride during their weddings. A furisode is a kimono worn by a woman who is unmarried. A girl gets her first furisode at age thirteen. There are at least over 10 different kinds of kimonos. These are all the types of kimonos.
