Michiyuki are also a type of light coat, usually longer and with a button or snap closure. They may have a traditional square neckline or a scalloped collar.
Haori and michiyuki are very wearable and practical alternatives to kimono for just a touch of Eastern style in decoration and fashion. In Style and Lucky magazines have featured pages on how to wear haori in recent issues. A black one or a long one would be quite formal with a straight skirt or boot cut slacks. A colored haori looks great with white tank or t-shirt and khakis or jeans.
