Well, yes and no. This is a yukata, or a casual summer kimono - my friend Andrew (who I have mentioned before) got this for me on his holiday to Japan, and glorious as it is I am still trying to work out how to wear it.

When I have finally worked out how to dress myself, I'll likely do a reboot of this with proper styling - until then!

What a lovely yukata! I have one that highly resembles yours, only with green and red flowers. I can say I like yours more <3
ReplyDeleteI only wear it on special occasions but always with the help of somebody for the obi belt.
Thank you! I am chuffed with it. I definitely need a bit of help getting it back on, but I'd love to wear it for a photo shoot or for a special occasion next year.
Deletegood to know that the Japanese are cool with their culture's clothing being worn. I always wanted to wear a kimono but was always worried about being disrespectful
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they are - I want to do more research on it to make sure I'm not appropriating, but as far as I understand they're pretty cool with it as long as you wear it correctly and not in an offensive/inappropriate fashion. :)
