I wanted to know if these garments are worn by men. Do they have a different style or print on them?

I'm no expert but I believe:
Kimono: much more formal and much more expensive. very difficult to wear so you usually have someone trained to dress you in them.
Yukata: very common and quite fashionable. A lot more affordable and very easy to wear.
I know Yukata are worn by both genders, but I have only seen Kimono worn by women so far in pictures. I don't personally know whether men wear them

Kimono and Yukata

Kimono is made of silk and can be very costly. It can be worn as formal clothes or daily clothes(depends on a kind of kimono) Men wear Kimono too. They are in solid dark colors and usually they don't have any patterns on it.
Yukata is made of cotton, used as a sleepwear. It used to be that you were not supposed to wear outside the house( it's like pajama) but that has changed over the years, and people sometimes wear yukata to go watch fireworks at night. Some conservative people still don't like people walking around in Yukata in public.
Men's yukata that people wear outside the house are usually in darker colors, but tend to have more patterns than on Kimono.
