Dobuku kimono

The kosode was adopted as the standard dress for women regardless of class, but for formal wear, there was the long outer robe known as uchikake kimono. In summer this kimono robe was slipped off the shoulders, tied at the waist, and allowed to drape on the floor. Worn with long trailing hakama, this is referred to as the koshi-maki style kimono.

Common people began wearing the dobuku, a short coat similar to the haori. The dobuku kimono originated as the garb of street vendors, but toward the end of the Muromachi period, it came to be worn at home by upper class men.
