Well, if you havent notice kimono only refers to modern japanese clothing, and also i am sure you have noticed from watching japanese tv that their is alot of different types of clothes.
so first thing to get straight
和服（Wafuku） japanese Clothes
洋服（Youfuku） Westerncltohes
着物（Kimono） Modern japanese clothes (meiji era to now)

In TV shows people seem to have very interesting ideas of what clothes go with what. do most Japanese people wear clothes like 3 different layers with boots and long nails? or do they wear jeans and a t-shirt?

I found people dressed pretty similar to the way Americans dress when I was in Japan. The one exception was Tokyo. I didn't even realize we were in Harajuku until I saw a group of Goth Lolitas. (Directly followed by a street fight. o.O)
Tokyo was so interesting to me because of the huge variety of clothing fashion. There were elderly men and women in kimono (or wafuku, I guess), teenagers in their punkish Harajuku outfits, school girls shopping in uniform, mother with young daughters dressed identically in tight-fitting short clothing, women in long dresses, men in suits. I didn't see many women in slacks, which was interesting.
I loved it! It was so fun to observe. Everyone dresses the same in my neighborhood, so it's understandable I found Tokyo so amazing. Wish I'd had enough money to go clothes shopping!
The Japanese exchange student in my school, Mika, went shopping with my friends and bought $200 worth of clothes in one day. We were all like, o.O That's a lot... But she wears it well, man, I tell ya. xd

Erm... 着物 does still refer to the traditional kimono that we all know today, by the way. It's just that way back then, they called clothing 着物 since that's what they wore for clothes.
And I think it's just a typo, but the kanji "youfuku" is off. (It should be 洋服 , which is the more commonly used word for "clothes" nowadays in Japan, since most clothes are westernized anyway)
Another less-used word for clothes is 衣服, just for reference. 3nodding

Like the lace with the camouflage pattern. Apparently the "unbalanced" look is popular in Japan. Oh, let me guess. Was a lot of that money spent on brand items like Abercrombie and Fitch? (From what I know, アバクロ is extremely popular and expensive in Japan)

平安時代女と男の服 The clothes of the emperor and empress. they still wear them to this day.
the emperor wears a modified version of the ikan and the empress wears a version of the junihitoe. Here we have a man wearing a NOSHI, the woman is wearing a junihitoe in the style of COURTIER or LADY IN WAITING. The woman is wearing the same as above. the man though, is wearing an IKAN. he is dressed as a courtier.
