Annotation: On this website, they talk about yukata’s which is different than a kimono, and yukatas are less formal and you wear them to bathhouses sometimes. They also talk about how you wear the yukatas can give a different meaning. Like if you wear the yukata the opposite way it could mean you’re going to the funeral instead of something else. Which further proves the fact that they are communicating through their clothing.
