TRADITIONAL JAPANESE GOWN

Kimonos: are made of silk and generally tend to be very expensive and for that reason are used only on special occasions  as funerals, weddings, tea ceremonies, among other; these dresses are used as a formality or as a tradition; the color and the design of each kimono depend of the occasion, the age and the marital status, also must be accompanied the right hairstyle, underwear and socks appropriate, and a small bag where women keep their stuff.

Yukata: is not a sophisticated dress and is used for free time activities, it is a comfortable dress and is much cheaper than the Kimono; are made of simple cotton.
