Ladies wear them.
Shucks
Jeepers

Holy Moley!
When I asked if I could take their picture, not one replied, “Beat it, you fat perve.”
They all grinned and said “Sure, life is great and we are beautiful.” er in Japanese.
Enjoy them while you can! Certainly they were a pretty sight in Kyoto when I was there before coming to see you in Okinawa, also a few visible in Nara, but… Coincidentally the Guardian ran a couple of pieces on the sad decline of the kimono today, read and weep!
