Kimono 着物 (きもの) are traditional Japanese style clothes. About a hundred years ago, most people in Japan wore kimono every day.[1] Now, people wear the kimono for special occasions, fun, and fashion. For example, a Japanese couple might wear kimono on their wedding day.
A kimono is a robe. When it lies flat, it is shaped like a letter T.[2] Normal kimono reach to the ankles and have long sleeves. The sleeves of some kimono for women also reach to the ankles, but most kimono sleeves reach to the hips. Kimono come in many different designs and colours. Some colours have meanings.[3]
