The Men's Edition

Hakama

You may have seen the Hakama in Japanese Samurai films, worn by a martial arts instructor, or on your irritating, want-to-be ninja master, little brother. Sorry to digress, anyway, we're talking about the Japanese traditional attire mainly worn by men (hakamas are also worn by women) over the kimono. Unfortunately, it is not worn as often since it's considered "old fashioned."  Of course, like many traditional clothing, there are designers daring to update them for modern tastes most notably Yohji Yamamoto. Then again you may want to give the hakama a modern twist by pairing it up with a jacket, dress shirt and vest, or wear that kimono!
