We could say for making it easy that yukatas are made for the warm summer temperature as much as kimonos are made for the other seasons and colder temperature.

そ れ は正 解 で す! That is a good answer!!

More precisely, we could mention that there is no need of wearing the nagajuban (kimono underwears) with a yukata. Yukata can be used directly on the skin or for sleeping compared to kimono that do not allow those casualties. Made for staying fresh under the heat,

Yukata materials are usually thinner and cooler like cotton / polyester.

Yu 浴 (bath) Kata 衣 (garment/clothes)
According to the kanjis, yukata used to dress people after they took a bath. Soon the light-weight and convenience of the dress became popular and many people started to wear them casually. Nowadays we see them especially in summer when the weather gets very hot. For example, people wear a yukata when they go to the onsen, go to festivals, see fireworks, or simply to take a walk through the city.

If you visit Japan in summer, do not miss the chance to become a part of the country itself by wearing a yukata! Here are some pictures the customers we saw lately!! (^ ^) /
