Is it OK to Wear Jewelry with Kimono?

Question from the comments! "Is it OK to Wear Jewelry with a Kimono?"

It is perfectly ok to freely add accessories when wearing a kimono as everyday wear,
except for formal occasions such as weddings or funerals. Many Japanese too are concerned about the rules of the kimono, as some elderly stick to the traditional way of doing things.

It is true that kimono are gorgeous enough without other jewelry because they already have various accessories (obiage, obijime, obidome, and hair ornaments). But in the end, kimono is a kind of fashion, so it’s up to that individual to decide whether to add accessories.

However, necklaces are generally not recommended. This is because necklaces are originally accessories to make the chest area look beautiful, but kimonos are closed to the neck and can be fashionable enough by the color of the collar. Many people point out that adding a necklace might be a little too much.

However again it’s really up to each individual, and I personally believe that having fun wearing kimono is most important.

If there’s anything else you’d like to know about kimono, please let me know in the comments!
