That looks more like a Yukata than a Kimono. It only has one collar, and I would hazard a guess the material isn't a silk brocade.

As I understand it, yukata is a type of kimono.

Yes and no, the Kimono is more formal and upscale while a Yukata is more of an everyday kind of thing. Sorr of like a formal evening gown vs an everyday dress. Yes, they are both dresses but not really the same.

When doing a search, I came across this. It was an interesting read.
