Plus Size Yukata for Women | How to Choose for Plus Size Women
Yukata are an essential item for summer festivals, fireworks displays, and evening breeze-in moments. However, for women who are on the plus side or who need larger sizes, problems such as "it's hard to find a yukata that fits" and "it tends to come undone" often come up.
In this article, we will thoroughly explain everything from how to choose a plus-size women's yukata to recommended online shopping sites and tips on coordinating them .
1. What are plus-size yukata?
Regular yukatas are mostly one size fits all or M to L sizes. However, those with hips or busts over 100cm or tall people may find that the length is not long enough or that the shoulders are tight.
Plus-size yukatas come in sizes from 2L (LL) to 8L, and fit comfortably to your body lines, creating a beautiful look. If you choose a brand or online store that offers a wide range of sizes, you can enjoy wearing a yukata without worrying about your body shape.
2. How to choose a yukata for plus-size people
◎ Check the size by hip and length
When choosing a yukata, it is best to add 10-15cm to your actual hip measurement. The length (from shoulder to heel) should also be appropriate for your height.
◎How to choose a pattern: Vertical lines and large patterns are recommended
- -Vertical stripes: Makes your body look slimmer.
- -Large floral patterns: They look more balanced than small patterns.
◎Color selection: A dark base with a bright pattern creates a slimming effect
Using muted colors such as navy, deep purple, and deep green as a base will give a more refined and mature look.
◎Balance with the obi is also important
If you use a wide, pre-tied obi (one-touch obi), your waist will look neat and your outfit will stay in place without coming undone.

Q&A: Common problems and solutions
- Q: My yukata keeps coming undone...what should I do?
- A: The cause is insufficient waist adjustment. Make sure to tighten the obi and datejime tightly. We also recommend using a clip to prevent the kimono from becoming loose.
- Q: It's hard to walk when my feet are sluggish...
- A: If you wear the hemline a little shallower, you can move your legs more easily. Wearing shorts underneath will also increase comfort.
