Make it more interesting. Steampunk Kinomono/Hakama examples!
A
hakama is a high pleated skirt or split skirt like garment worn over a
kimono. Basically the Hakama is the equivalent of formal trousers for men (originally only worn by men, and is traditionally worn by practitioners of martial arts (Kyudo, Kendo, etc), but was later adopted by women for graduation ceremonies, and also as part of standard uniform for miko female priestess helpers). The hakama has 7 deep pleats, two in the back and 5 in front ( 3 to the right and 2 too the left - asymetrical) which are meant to symbolise the seven virtues of
Bushido.
I know of one local Steampunk who has worn hakama as part of their Steampunk persona

Iaido wears a black hakama
