I much prefer wearing some kind of brimmed hat instead of carrying an umbrella. I hate those things other people try to poke you with because they are certain that they are only person on the sidewalk.

Kimono's are worn casually >.>"
Kimono w/ haori on top is for people of higher status [generally] Kimono w/ hakama and haori is usually for special and formal occasions Yukata should be worn after July or so... Geta are the way to go! xDD Some random tidbits of advice from my boss xDD  In the shadows beneath the trees he waits. In the darkness under the moon he plots In the silence of the night he kills.

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.

Technically "kimono" means "clothes" but ask any Japanese person, and what is "kimono" and 99% will describe the formal traditional wear. I think you need to do a little more research. Mens and womens kimono are VERY different. The sleeves and colors differ depending on a woman's age and marital status, and women's kimono tend to have more patterns and feminine colors, where mens tend to be more plain, in blacks and grays. As a man would you wear this?
