[ Shakes you!!!! Dangit!! Also realizing that Genshin plays very loose with outfits so nothing matter anyway!!! Thanks hyv!! ]
Depends on how formal you want to be, but I suspect that's the opposite of what you want. There aren't any particular rules about what kind of kimono to wear for the new year. It depends more on the type of gathering you're attending, and whether or not you need to display your social standing.
Something warm for the weather and beautiful, but not overly extravagant would suffice. And if the kimono pattern includes symbols for good luck, fortune and longevity, even better. The pine tree symbolizes longevity and is usually associated with winter and the New Year. It can be represented on its own or by the pine bark diamond pattern. A hexagonal pattern is reminiscent of a tortoise shell and also represents longevity and good fortune. Same with cranes, but careful not to pair them, because pairs of cranes represent a happy marriage.
[ These are all traditional symbols—but he's seen some more modern designs the last time he was in Inazuma, so really, anything would work, he thinks.
As for hairstyles? ]
It's common to draw one's hair back in a bun when wearing kimono and accessorize with kanzashi, but it's not a requirement. Men usually tie their hair back with a braided cord.
