What's the difference between a bathrobe and a kimono?

Every year when we go to Japan to watch the fireworks show, we will see many Japanese people wearing traditional Japanese costumes. Do you know if this is a bathrobe or a kimono? Do you know the difference between the two? Let's popularize Bian Xiao today!

Will you wear a bathrobe or kimono at the fireworks show?

It is best to wear fireworks with a beautiful bathrobe, similar to a kimono in summer. It is cooler without lining, and the price is much cheaper than kimono.

There are also places to rent bathrobes in big cities, but it is more convenient and inexpensive to buy them yourself. Three or five hundred RMB will get the whole set.

Of course, you don't have to wear a bathrobe to watch the fireworks show, but bathrobes are more traditional and beautiful! Maybe half the girls who go to the fireworks show can rest assured to wear bathrobes.

From the scene, most young girls who travel with male tickets will wear beautiful bathrobes and dress up as kawaii, while older housewives prefer to wear casual clothes. Throughout the audience, about 50% of women visually wear bathrobes, while 5% of men may not wear them.

1. Buy tapes in China! Don't expect to buy locally in Japan.

Except for big cities like Tokyo and Osaka, the commodity economy of small towns in Japan is far from as developed as we thought. There are few bathrobe shops and travel time is tight. Believe me, you don't have time to choose carefully Secondly, a large part of bathrobes that can be seen on the street are made in China. If you buy directly from an export manufacturer on Taobao, it can be more than half cheaper.

2. Can I rent it locally?

Yes, but it is not recommended. In fact, many local girls also choose to rent bathrobes. There are two main types of shops renting bathrobes in Japan. One is the traditional costume rental store, which is more aimed at local people. It is very professional and meticulous, and can help you make a complete set of equipment including grooming.

But you need to make an appointment in advance, which is not suitable for short-distance tourists. The other is more aimed at tourists, similar to the experience of one-day tour of kimono, but the bathrobes in these shops are often of poor color and quality. For example, they have just been wholesale from Yiwu commodity market, and the prices are not very cheap.

Young girls remember to choose pink and tender colors and practice how to curl their hair in advance. Personally, I think young girls will look better with bangs when they wear bathrobes.

The difference between bathrobe and kimono

kimono

Kimono is worn when going out on formal occasions. There are not only obvious differences between men and women, but also different kimonos should be worn according to different occasions and times to show caution (women's kimonos include wedding kimonos, adult kimonos, evening kimonos, banquet kimonos and general dresses).

swimsuit

It is a simple dress worn by ancient Japanese civilians after bathing, so it is called "bathrobe". Now it has evolved into a universal model that can be worn when going out. Gorgeous and diverse styles are no less than formal kimonos.

Quickly distinguish kimono from bathrobe!

1. Look at the collar. The neckline of kimono has two layers, called "rudder". In Japan, bathrobes have collars.

2. Look at socks. Kimono needs to wear socks, which the Japanese call "foot bag", while bathrobe wears clogs barefoot.

3. Compare prices. Kimonos are expensive, about 10 times the price of bathrobes, and some high-end kimonos even reach millions of yen.

(Hint: Sometimes there are exceptions, such as expensive bathrobes and low-priced kimonos. But at the same time, from the perspective of price, foot bag and collar, it can basically be distinguished smoothly. )

Can you make it clear? In fact, the difference between kimono and bathrobe is obvious. There are many fireworks meetings here in Japan this summer. You might as well come and join us!
