Perfect Summer Kimonos For Guys With Purple Hair
Glam is not usually a word that comes to mind when describing the traditional summer kimonos known as yukata, but Vice Fairy, my favorite host brand, outdoes themselves again this summer with the shiniest come-hither yukatas ever! Paired with obi belts that look more like scarves gone wild, this season’s offerings are sure to make an appearance on many a “date” this month, as customers invite their favorite hosts to squire them around to the fireworks events happening all over Tokyo in July.

It would definitely get you some attention! You should order one from Rakuten. I see from your blog that you passed the N2 （尊敬している^^;;！）, so you could definitely carry off the Japanese summer wear thing!^^;;

They probably look better at night, under the light of fireworks. In the daytime, a bit too 1930s smoking jacket-ish, you know?

These are kind of funny because they’re so shiny and un-yukata-like, but fashion in Japan (especially men’s fashion) is SO different from the rest of the world. Young Japanese men don’t have “manly man” hang-ups like they do in America (“I can’t wear pink! People will think I’m gay!”), and straight men experiment a lot more with colors and styles. Somehow it works on them and doesn’t communicate gay at all, although it might if I saw it in San Francisco!
