THE KIMONO JACKET TREND| NOVMTL

Kimono is a traditional dress that originated in Japan. It became a wardrobe staple for Japanese people and eventually spread across various cultures in East Asia. It is a traditional garment for both men and women. It is usually worn during ceremonial occasions, festivals, and other formal events. The kimono has been worn by the Japanese people for centuries.

The first kimono dates back to the 7th century AD. At this time, the wearing of a flowing outer robe became popular with the nobility in Japan. They would wear various styles of robes depending on their rank in society, which was based on their birth order among male siblings. For example, the oldest son of a daimyo would wear a more elaborate style of robe than his younger brothers or sisters. This style quickly spread to other citizens as well as samurai warriors who fought against foreign invaders in Japan's civil war.

The Japanese kimono was considered an everyday dress in the Kamakura Period, and during the Edo period, the “art of kimono-making” became a highlighted trade and last until the late 1800s. In addition, these kimonos became family heirlooms and passed down from generation to generation. However, kimono designs shift and emerged to new styles and trends over time. Kimono is an important part of the Japanese culture. Nowadays, it is also favored by people from all over the world, and a typical kimono is made of satin weaves or silk.
