There are four main types of clothing found in Japan: 1) those worn for everyday use: 2) those worn for special occasions such as festivals; 3) work clothes; and 4) costumes worn for noh and kabuki theater. Materials used in making clothes include linen, silk and cotton. Bright colors have traditionally been associated with young people while dark colors have been associated with older people.
The Japanese, especially Japanese women, are very well dressed. Their traditional clothes are elegant and refined and they like high quality, top European-designer stuff.
Yukatas
kids in yukata is a light kimono designed for outdoor summer use or indoor casual wear like a bathrobe. Used by both men and women, it is commonly worn around the house by women and used by customers at ryoken (traditional inns) and onsens (hot springs). They are usually made of cotton, which is comfortable and absorbs perspiration after bathing. A Tanzen is a heavier outer garment worn over a yukata.
Men's Clothes in Japan
Some Japanese men are quite fashionable, wearing nicely cut suits and designed clothes, or sport nice-looking, casual sports clothes. Other, though, dress pretty nerdy. They sometimes wear dark socks with Bermuda shorts, white socks with suits and have pens and calculators bulging from their pockets. But they are not as bad as they used to be.
