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.
oh yeah..the original poster is a girl isn't she? ._.'''
i was talking about the men's kimono xDD
haha....
buuut yeaaah...
women don't generally wear haori and hakama ._.'
unless on special occasions...like...a ritual at a temple or something >.>'



In the shadows beneath the trees he waits.
In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
