Kimono Shimaiya posted a great article discussing the different styles you can get from just changing the haori with your outfit (and note that their suggested shoes are Mary Janes, not zori!).

It’s the same kimono and outfit in all ways except the amount of contrast present in the haori coat, and look what a change there is in the feel!

The pink and blue patterns look sweet and girly together, while the black haori gives a more somber adult feeling to the outfit– definitely suitable for people who are shy about wearing colors they might feel are ‘too bright’!

Let’s experiment with haori!
