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.

I agree...I participated in a couple local festivals and wore the garb of our Danjiri group, but I cringe a little when I look back at the pictures.
