[Shichi-Go-San Nails] 7 Nail Ideas for Moms that Go Well with Kimono and Suits! Explaining Parents' Dress Etiquette
Hello! Autumn is well underway.
Shichi-Go-San is a traditional Japanese event that celebrates children's growth and is often held around November 15th.
What should I wear? Are there any rules? There are many etiquettes to follow at this event .
This time, EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store with over 100 different designs, will introduce Shichi-Go-San etiquette that parents should pay attention to!
We will also introduce recommended nail designs for moms for the day of the photo shoot or shrine visit , so be sure to read until the end!
How to choose clothes
Since Shichi-Go-San involves a visit to a shrine, photo shoots, and a dinner party, some parents may be wondering what their children should wear .
We'll tell you how to choose your parents' clothes!
Decide based on your child's costume
Naturally, Shichi-Go-San is an event where children are the main focus !
Basically
If your child is wearing Western clothing, your parents should also wear Western clothing.
If your child is wearing Japanese clothing, parents should wear either Japanese or Western clothing!
By the way, the ratio of children wearing Western or Japanese clothing remains roughly the same at all ages, with about 70-80% wearing Japanese clothing !
It seems that many families choose to wear traditional Japanese clothing for the traditional Shichi-Go-San event.
When your child is wearing Japanese clothing
Did you know that kimonos are ranked ?
If you are wearing a kimono for Shichi-Go-San, it is best to choose a " Homongi " or " Tsukesage " style ⭕️
If you want to dress your child in traditional Japanese clothing but don't know much about kimonos, don't worry!
In many cases, you can request the option of having the parents dressed and their hair done at the photo studio .

When your child is wearing Western clothes
Unlike kimono, Western clothing does not require you to worry about status .
However, since you will also be going to shrines and restaurants, it is common to dress somewhat formally .
Mom's outfit
The basic rule is to wear something that exposes as little skin as possible and is not too flashy in color .
·suit
·set up
·one piece
・Blouse x pants
It's okay if the jacket doesn't have a collar , but the basic rule is to choose a shirt underneath that doesn't have too much of an open neckline .
Also, if you choose a dress or skirt, make sure it's below the knee .
The recommended colors are basic colors like black, navy blue, beige, and gray. If you're wearing all black , add some glamour with accessories or a brooch.
Dad's outfit
Basically, a business suit like the one you would wear to work is fine.
・Suits (3-piece suits are also recommended!)
・Jacket and pants style
If you want to add a touch of glamour , we recommend choosing the right colour for your tie or shirt .
The suit itself should be a basic color with no overly bold patterns !
If mom is wearing a casual outfit, dad can also wear a tie without a tie.
Be sure to check the opinions of your relatives and the dress code of the restaurant where you will be dining before making your selection!
Should I match Japanese and Western clothing for my parents?
It's a common question, but it's okay if you don't have both Japanese and Western dishes🙆♀️
It's recommended that parents choose clothes of similar colors to make their children stand out !
For example, if your child is wearing a dark kimono , you should wear something a little lighter ; if your child is wearing a bright dress, you should wear a subdued suit.
If you consider the balance when photographed , your overall outfit will look great.
Taking photos on a different day makes it easier to move around and reduces stress ⭕️
If we do the photo shoot on the same day, it will take about 5 to 8 hours, including travel and meals , so I'm worried about my child's physical strength...
Also, if both parents are wearing traditional Japanese clothing, it's possible that they'll feel uncomfortable wearing unfamiliar clothing and things might not go well .
Unless the studio or shrine is very far away, we recommend visiting the shrine and taking photos on different days !
The benefits of having the photo shoot and the worship service/dinner on different days
・It's easy to take good photos
⇨You'll have more time, so it's easier to capture your child in a good mood in photos ♡
・Less worry about your child's physical fitness
⇨You'll be less tied up and spend less time wearing unfamiliar costumes , so you'll likely be able to complete the trip comfortably!
・If you are taking pre-wedding photos, the outfits will be ones that the couple has already worn, so they will be less likely to be fussy on the day of the visit.
Many children are hesitant to try on unfamiliar costumes and environments. However, experiencing it once will help reduce their resistance !
・Depending on the season, it may be easier to find your favorite rental costume.
⇨If you rent during the peak season from October to November, popular costumes may already be out of stock .
It's easier to find your ideal outfit if you go at a different time .
・Parents can visit the shrine wearing clothes that are easy to move in!
⇨ For parents who prioritize ease of movement , it may be a good idea to choose Western clothing on the day of the visit .
Apparently, about 70% of parents choose semi-formal Western attire for the day!
Should moms get their nails done?
We recommend simple, clean nail designs!
Shichi-Go-San is a photogenic event that celebrates the growth of your precious child.
Especially when taking photos, you'll probably want to take shots of you holding hands with your child .

Why EVERNAIL is recommended for Shichi-Go-San nails for moms
No need to worry about the tip coming off!
The biggest weakness of nail tips is
"Nail tips coming off during daily activities"
"And then you lose your nail tips without realizing it."
With EVERNAIL, you don't have to worry about that!
The special high-viscosity glue fills the gap between your natural nail and the tip, ensuring a secure fit.
To remove it , simply soften the adhesive with hot water and use the included wooden stick to remove it easily !
Another great thing about gel nails is that there is less risk of damaging your natural nails.
The tip is reusable, making it incredibly cost-effective.
"Evergel Tips" are made using a unique patent-pending manufacturing process.
⚫︎Special gel tip that bends when heated for flexible removal
⚫︎Can be removed cleanly with "special adhesive that can be removed with hot water"
This allows the chip to be reused semi-permanently .
EVERNAIL is more expensive than commercially available nail tips, but compared to gel nails, it's a great deal!
No need to make a reservation at a nail salon and salon treatment time is reduced!
Do you know the average time spent at a gel nail salon?
If the piece has parts or an elaborate design, it can take about two and a half hours, including the process of removing the gel that was on it...!
Even a professional would take that long, so it would take even longer if you're not used to doing your nails yourself.
With EVERNAIL, even if it's your first time, you can install all the tips in just 30 minutes!
Why not enjoy a more relaxing holiday by freeing yourself from the long hours of gel nail salon treatments?
The tip length can also be adjusted in mm increments!
By adding the length adjustment option, you can shorten the tip length in 3mm or 5mm increments .
By taking advantage of the kimono atmosphere, you can create more natural and elegant nails!
You can even order your favorite colors and designs!
You can also create your own one-of-a-kind nail tips that fit your needs!
Our experienced nail technicians, who have met EVERNAIL's strict hiring standards , will provide you with the highest quality finish.
