Yukata are made of cotton, where kimomo are usually silk.
There are different kind of yukata...from the simple robe worn at the hotsprings to more fancy ones worn to summer festivals.
And yes, haori and hakama are worn over the kimono, but with or without haori and hakama, a kimono is still a very formal piece of wear that most women only wear a few days in their lives (Coming of age day, wedding, funeral, etc.) It can't be worn on your own, you need a dresser to help you put it on. So "worn casually" is probably not quite accurate.
