====Women's kimono==== *The {{transliteration|ja|[[furisode]]}} (lit., "swinging sleeve") is a type of formal kimono usually worn by young women, often for [[Seijin no Hi|Coming of Age Day]] or as bridalwear, and is considered the most formal kimono for young women. *The {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Uchikake|uchikake]]}} is also worn as bridalwear as an unbelted outer layer. *The {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Kurotomesode and kuro-montsuki|kurotomesode]]}} and {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Irotomesode and iro-montsuki|irotomesode]]}} are formal kimono with a design solely along the hem, and are considered the most formal kimono for women outside of the {{transliteration|ja|furisode}}. *The {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Hōmongi|houmongi]]}} and the {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Tsukesage|tsukesage]]}} are semi-formal women's kimono featuring a design on part of the sleeves and hem. *The {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Iromuji|iromuji]]}} is a low-formality solid-colour kimono worn for tea ceremony and other mildly-formal events. *The {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Komon|komon]]}} and {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Edo komon|edo komon]]}} are informal kimono with a repeating pattern all over the kimono. Other types of kimono, such as the {{transliteration|ja|[[yukata]]}} and {{transliteration|ja|[[kimono#Mofuku|mofuku]]}} (mourning) kimono are worn by both men and women, with differences only in construction and sometimes decoration. In previous decades, women only stopped wearing the {{transliteration|ja|furisode}} when they got married, typically in their early- to mid-twenties; however, in the modern day, a woman will usually stop wearing {{transliteration|ja|furisode}} around this time whether she is married or not.<ref name=Goldstein-Gidoni99/>
