浴衣 (yukata) is a traditional Japanese garment made of cotton, typically worn during the summer months. It is a casual version of the more formal kimono and is often adorned with colorful patterns. Yukata is commonly worn at festivals, fireworks displays, and other outdoor events, providing comfort in warm weather. The garment is usually paired with a obi, a wide belt that secures it in place. Yukata can be worn by both men and women, with styles and designs varying between genders. Accessories like geta (wooden sandals) and haneri (collars) may also complement the outfit, enhancing its traditional appeal.
