A yukata is a Japanese garment
（衣服）, a casual summer kimono
usually made of cotton（綿） or synthetic fabric（布）, and unlined. Yukata are worn by men and women. Like other forms of traditional Japanese clothing
, yukata are made with straight（まっすぐ） seams and wide sleeves. Men's yukata are distinguished by the shorter sleeve（そで） extension of approximately 10 cm from the armpit seam, compared to the longer 20 cm sleeve extension in women's yukata. A standard yukata ensemble consists of a cotton undergarment (juban), yukata, obi, bare feet, sandals (geta
), a foldable or fixed hand fan, and a carry bag (kinchaku).
