[Nyororin]

In my experience, either you look great in a yukata or you look silly. There doesn`t seem to be too much of a mid ground. I think I look like an idiot in one, but my sister looked wonderful.
I had a friend tell me I looked beautiful in a kimono, and she was serious... So perhaps it is all in the eye of the beholder.
Either way, I`m not comfortable enough in yukata or kimono to go about wearing one. Wearing a kimono at my wedding and yukata for about a week in the hospital (yes, hospital gowns here are yukata) after my son was born was enough for a lifetime.
