The kimono puts on in summer is called "ro no kimono"(絽の着物).
It is real pleasure of the kimono of summer to wear the cloth thinly
transparent as it is cool.

People put on unlined kimonos (単衣の着物) in June and September. And, it puts on the lined kimono(袷の着物) at other seasons.

The kimono is chosen according to the season and the place so.
Wow i didnt even know of the "ro no kimono" I thought it was strange. I seen Some people with Kimonos on in the summer
