Kimono rental service "Rental Kimono My Select," operated by LIN Co., Ltd. (Kani City, Gifu Prefecture), conducted a survey on "opportunities to wear kimonos and how to choose them" targeting 100 women in their 30s to 50s.

The results showed that 58% of respondents considered "color and overall impression" to be the most important factor when choosing an Omiyamairi baby kimono, with a tendency to select soft, spring-like colors and those that look good in commemorative photos.

Furthermore, a certain number of people have experienced that "the impression from photos differed from the actual product," indicating that the balance between "photogenic appeal" and "actual color" is a crucial point in choosing a baby kimono.

"Rental Kimono My Select," a kimono rental service operated by LIN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, Representative Director: Ryugo Hayashi), announces the ranking of popular Omiyamairi baby kimono colors rented in the first half of 2026 (March 1 to May 6, 2026).

For girls' baby kimonos, out of 420 rental cases, "Beige/Cream" ranked first with 203 cases, followed by "White" and "Pink" in the top positions. In recent years, "light colors" and "nuance colors" have become popular for babies' formal wear, such as Omiyamairi and Hyakunichi祝い (100-day celebration). The trend is shifting from traditional formality to color choices that prioritize photogenic appeal and how well they suit the baby's skin tone.

For boys' baby kimonos, out of 245 cases, "White/Ecru" ranked first with 98 cases, followed by "Black/Gray" and "Navy."

In recent years, for both boys and girls, there is an increasing trend to choose colors that consider how they appear in natural light and harmonize with family photos.

## "Color and Overall Impression" Most Important in Kimono Selection

The survey gathered the following responses regarding "points emphasized in kimono selection":

- Color (overall impression): 58%
- Pattern (design): 49%
- Price (budget): 38%
- Formality/Suitability for the occasion: 24%

Especially for Omiyamairi, it is clear that more people are prioritizing "elegant cohesion" over "flashiness," considering the baby's expression and the overall harmony of family photos.

## Many Felt "Impression from Photos Differed from Actual Product"

In the survey on "regrets in kimono selection," the results were:

- Impression from photos differed from actual product: 9%
- Undecided on color/pattern: 22%

With smartphone viewing being mainstream today, it can be difficult to convey the actual color and texture, leading to concerns such as "it was darker than I expected" or "the impression differed from the photo."

## Spring Omiyamairi Tends to Emphasize "Compatibility with Natural Light"

For spring Omiyamairi, many photos are taken amidst cherry blossoms and fresh greenery, leading to an increasing emphasis on color choices that consider how they appear in natural light.

Especially in recent years, colors that appear gentle in photos, such as:

- Beige/Cream
- Pale Pink
- Ecru
- Muted Colors

have become increasingly popular.

This trend of prioritizing "beauty when preserved as a commemorative photo" is thought to be reflected in the choice of baby kimonos.
