A hakama is typically pleated at the waist and fastened by waist ties over the obi. Shorter kimono may be worn underneath the hakama for ease of movement.

Hakama are worn with any type of kimono except yukata [2] (light cotton summer kimono generally worn for relaxing, for sleeping or at festivals or summer outings).

Kimono (and other garments, like hakama) with mon are called montsuki (" mon-carrying"). The type of crest adds formality as well. A "full sun" (hinata) crest, where the design is outlined and filled in with white, is the most formal type. A "mid-shadow" (nakakage) crest is mid-formality, with only the outline of the crest visible in white
Hakama were also worn as underwear with the kosode; over time, the two would gradually become outerwear, with the kosode eventually developing into the modern-day kimono. Despite the name, the jūnihitoe varied in its exact number of layers. [ 1 ]
The term "suikan hakama" is also used to refer to the long hakama worn with the Suikan, although the exact meaning of this term is somewhat debated.
