   • 2020 March 6, Allyssia Alleyne, “What the kimono’s wide-reaching influence tells us about cultural appropriation”, in CNN‎^[1]:

     Presenting 84 kimonos dating as far back as the 1660s, the show traces how the kimono became a truly global garment worn, sold, riffed on and reinvented by artisans, designers and fashion-lovers around the world.

2. A long robe-like garment in Western fashion, which may be open at the front, loosely inspired by the Japanese garment.
3. (regional) A bathrobe or dressing gown.

In Japanese, a yukata is not considered to be a type of kimono, except in the broad meaning of kimono, "clothing".
