It makes dressing so much easier, more convenient, and more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>The tsuke-obi is more common. I&#8217;ve had this one in my collection for literal decades and it used to be in very heavy rotation. Ones like this, with an otaiko-style musubi, are much easier to camouflage than the butterfly-style polyester ones that come with beginner&#8217;s yukata, and I think with the right accessories they&#8217;re perfectly acceptable for a more casual occasion.<\/p>\n<p>The salmon pink accessories were a bit of a surprise, I will be honest. I liked how the navy obijime tied in to the kimono and figured I&#8217;d run with it. It&#8217;s unexpected but it works! My gut instinct was to go with the same yellow set I use for basically&#8230; everything.
