Kimono, Yukata and Hakama :D

kimono!! red is the most popular color!!!

yukata at summer festival :)

graduation day with hakama!!!

Almost all of my friends here are confused if I tell them we have three kinds of kimono in my country, Japan. haha I'll put my pictures of them and then, you can understand it!!!
First picture is kimono which everyone thinks about if they talk about kimono. It's really beautiful and has lots of colors :D Usually girls wear it at ceremony when they turn to be 20 years old. The problem is...... it's really REALLY hard to walk!!! hahaha And it's really TIGHT around our chest :(
Second picture is yukata! It's a komono for summer :) It's much lighter than kimono and easy to wear!!! Girls wear it when they go to summer festivals :D I don't know why but it's really common to wear colorful one like pink or light blue or yellow for young childrens. As we grow up, dark colors such as black,navy blue or purple are popular. I guess it's kinda sexy to wear dark yukata.....maybe hahaha :D :D :D
Last one is hakama!!! It's for university graduation :) It's really easy to wear and easy to walk! haha There are two clothes together and one is kinda skirt from our chest. Our graduation is in March so it's really cold outside to walk with hakama...haha

I love to wear these traditional clothes even though it's hard to walk or anything!!! :D I think it's really beautiful and I want a lot of people from all over the world to try to wear them!!!
I hope everyone could understand the differences among these clothes :)
Again, these are REALLY beautiful!!!! hahaha
