A yukata, or kimono robe, is a T-shaped wrap-front robe with wide sleeves that can be worn indoors or outdoors. It is typically made of cotton, wool, or synthetic fabrics and can come in a variety of colors and patterns.
A kimono robe, known as a yukata, is a T-shaped, wrap-front robe with wide sleeves that can be worn by both men and women. Traditionally worn indoors after a bath, but this Japanese robe can also be worn outdoors as a lighter, more casual alternative to the more formal kimono, particularly in the summer months. It is wrapped around the body, the left side generally over the right, and tied around the waist with a sash known as an obi; In the privacy of the house, the obi can be replaced by a simple belt. The kimono robe is usually ankle length, but modern styles can be shorter. The gown can be worn alone or over undergarments, pajamas, or pants.
Unlike a formal kimono, which is lined and usually silk, a kimono bathrobe can come in cotton, wool, or a type of synthetic fabric. Silk is not a favorite material in this Japanese-style robe, as silk is less water-absorbent than cotton and wool, and therefore not very useful for drying the body after a bath. Silk garments also require more maintenance.
Cotton is a popular choice for bathrobes as it absorbs water easily and is a cool and breathable organic fabric. Thick terry cotton bathrobes can serve the same purpose as a good towel. A woolen robe is excellent for keeping out the cold and may be preferable to cotton robes in cold climates. Like cotton robes, wool bathrobes come in different types of fabric thicknesses. Both cotton and wool can be woven into a variety of fabric types, allowing for different types of kimono robes.
Polyester and other synthetic fabrics, sometimes interspersed with cotton and wool, are also widely used to make kimono bathrobes. They can be just as good as cotton or wool garments. A smooth, silky, or satiny feel is possible with synthetic materials, and gowns can be quite lightweight.
Natural dyes were used in the traditional Japanese fabric pattern for a kimono bathrobe, but modern versions can make use of safe chemical dyes. You can find a huge variety of single color and multicolor design patterns, ranging from bold and bright to pale and subtle, covering flora, fauna, geometric prints, calligraphy, cartoons, etc. Depending on the dyes, designs, and materials, bathrobes can range in price from cheap to very expensive.
