A yukata is basically a casual, summery kimono.

It’s made of thin, breezy cotton, so it’s super comfortable to wear in the heat.

Japanese people love wearing them to summer festivals and fireworks shows.

The coolest part? You don’t have to wear socks with it—you just wear it barefoot with wooden sandals called geta.

It’s way easier to put on than a regular kimono, but it still looks incredibly beautiful and photogenic!
