[Strategy 1] What Color of Yukata Will Impress Your Boyfriend?
You want to be absolutely cute in front of your boyfriend, right? ♡
Of course, you want to wear a yukata that you like, but many of you may also be thinking, “What kind of yukata would he praise…”!
So, we’d like to recommend yukata for all you ladies ♡
① Blue Shades
A refreshing yukata with a summery atmosphere that stands out at fireworks festivals and summer festivals.
It’s a yukata that suits Japanese women, right!
The blue color that stands out against dark hair is very lovely and recommended ♡
Navy blue-based yukata is recommended for those who want to dress up elegantly~
② Pink Shades
A versatile white yukata that can be both mature and girly.
Depending on your accessories and hairstyle, you can change the atmosphere dramatically!
White yukata is easy to match with your partner’s yukata, so it’s recommended!

[Strategy 2] How to Coordinate Your Yukata for Perfect Summer Events!
We’ll introduce recommended coordinates for different events!
It’s fun to change depending on the brightness of the location and the nature of the event ♡
Fireworks Festivals
Fireworks festivals are often held at night and a white-based yukata that shines even in photos is recommended!
Male yukatas are generally darker in color, so they complement well!
Recommended options
- Basket bag
- Heko obi (wide belt)
- Obi accessories
* If you sit on the ground during the fireworks festival, be careful not to get dirty!
Summer Festivals
At summer festivals, there are relatively many brightly lit areas with lanterns and food stalls, so even a darker yukata is okay!
Brightly colored yukatas are sure to stand out!
Recommended Options
- ・Basket Bag
- ・Twisted Obi Belt
- ・Tulle
- ・Obi Accessories

【Strategy #3】Perfect Hairstyles to Match Yukatas
The perfect hairstyle to complement a yukata is an updo! It’s the only choice!
At Rikawafuku Kimono Asakusa Store, you can choose from five different hairstyles!
Among them, an updo makes your neck look neat and gives an elegant impression.
It’s a style that reveals femininity and is unique to kimonos and yukatas.
You’ll definitely receive compliments from him~
Also, in the hot summer, having your hair sticking to your neck can be bothersome.
With an updo, you can solve that problem!
【Strategy #4】What to Carry in Your Bag on a Yukata Date
We’ve compiled a list of items you need for a yukata date!
With these items in your bag, you can enjoy your yukata date to the fullest.
【Items to Carry】
- ・Powder (with a mirror for makeup touch-ups is recommended)
- ・Lipstick
- ・Smartphone
- ・Mobile Battery (essential for fireworks festivals and summer festivals!)
- ・Handkerchief
- ・Tissues or Wet Wipes
- ・One Plastic Bag (useful when there are no trash cans after eating at food stalls!)
- ・Adhesive Bandages
- ・Sweat-absorbing Sheets (a lifesaver if you have them!)
Walking in a Yukata
When wearing a yukata, pay a little attention to your walking style! Walking with a slightly narrower stride will make you look more elegant.
- Stand with your feet together. Point your toes slightly outward for easier walking.
- Bend your ankles slightly and land on your heels, taking one step at a time. When walking, try to move in a straight line without spreading your legs too wide.
- When walking, be aware of your center of gravity, keep your back straight, and let your arms swing naturally and rhythmically. This will result in a more beautiful walking style.
- Pay special attention to steps and obstacles while walking. Yukatas can restrict your movement at the feet, making it a bit challenging to walk.
- Walk at a leisurely pace with confidence. Maintain a relaxed posture and walk naturally.
By paying attention to these points while walking, you can enhance the beauty of your yukata. It’s also recommended to practice until you get used to it.
