The men wear dress gowns and women wear housecoat.

Derived from the 18th-century the wearing of a dressing gown became a regular habit. The Japanese kimono is worn during summer as a bath robe.

Different fabrics are used in manufacturing bath robes: -  cotton - is one of the most commonly used fibres and is a natural fibres. Cotton bathrobes are frequently used by the pool, beach or following a shower and they absorb water easily due to the polarity of cellulose. Cotton tends to absorb perspiration and are especially suited to use in hot climates.

-  Silk – is produced by the secretions of certain insect larvae and is composed mainly of fibroin making it a fine lustrous fibre. Due to the cost of producing silk these kinds of bathrobes can be relatively expensive. Such bathrobes are very lightweight and thin. Because of the polarity necessary to absorb water and due o the fact that they lack the surface area, these bathrobes are not particularly suited to wet environments. Since they are not worn after bathing, silk dressing gowns are the traditional choice.

-  Microfibre - made of polyester  or cellulose , is a fine synthetic fibre. Modern microfibres are developed to maximise water absorption and breath-ability. Can you believe that is even thinner than the human hair?
