Ok, maybe someone will reply to my question here so I don't have to open a new thread.

I have a question regarding male traditional clothing.

Basically, the difference between a male and female Yukata is that male Yukatas dont have the fancy colors and a smaller Obi? How would a man in Yukata sit down on the floor? Sitting with your feet cross-legged doesn't look like its gonna work.

My other question is: As a man you can wear a Hakama with any type of kimono except for Yukata? What other types of kimono are there? Is a Haori and an under Kimono always needed? I read that the ones with the stripes are usually worn at very formal events. ...So far I have only seen male versions in black, white, grey and navy blue. The only time I have seen fancy colors was when a J-rock band was performing on stage. So..., are any other colors actually available( if you decide not to make it yourself) or accepted?
