The difference between formal kimono and bathrobe kimono

The price of bathrobe is basically 3000- 10000 yen. But kimonos are more expensive, about ten times the price of bathrobes, and some high-end kimonos even cost millions of yen. However, there are also cases where the prices of high-grade bathrobes and low-grade kimonos are similar, so the accuracy of distinguishing bathrobes and kimonos by price is only about 70%.

2, according to the socks to distinguish

In general, kimono needs to wear socks, which is called foot bag in Japanese. Not when wearing a bathrobe. But sometimes, people may not wear foot bags in summer, so the accuracy of distinguishing bathrobes from kimonos according to whether they wear foot bags is only 80%.

3, according to the collar to distinguish

Generally speaking, the collar of kimono has two layers, the inner layer is called じゅばん, and the bathrobe has only one layer of collar. However, in recent years, Japanese bathrobes have also become popular with a lace collar inside. So if this method is used to identify, the accuracy is only 90%.

Extended information and clothing precautions:

When wearing kimono, you should pay attention to the covering method of kimono's left and right lapels. Generally speaking, when wearing kimono, the right lapel is attached to the chest, and the left lapel is covered on the right lapel, which is called "right lapel"; Otherwise, it is "left front".

The way kimono is worn is "right front", that is, left and right (lapel). Because the Japanese believe that the world after death is completely opposite to that before death, the way the deceased wears kimono is "left front", that is, left and right.

The "right front" wearing method is said to be influenced by ancient Chinese costumes, and the Japanese are right-handed. So they used to put the knife on their left waist. If the "left front" puncture method is adopted, the action will not be smooth when drawing the knife.

Many people don't know this statement. When wearing kimono, the right lapel fits the left lapel, and even many stars wear it with the right lapel and the left lapel. For example, Yi Nengjing and Rainie Yang made this mistake when they participated in a certain program, which is incorrect.
