==={{transliteration|ja|Hakama, obi, zōri}}===
The {{transliteration|ja|hakama}}, which resembles a long, wide pleated skirt, is generally worn over the kimono and is considered formal wear. Although it was traditionally created to be worn by men of all occupations (craftsmen, farmers, samurai, etc.), it is now socially accepted to be worn by women as well.

The {{transliteration|ja|obi}} is similar to a belt, wrapping around the outer kimono and helping to keep all of the layers together, though it does not actually tie them closed. {{transliteration|ja|Obi}} are typically long, rectangular belts that can be decorated and coloured in a variety of different ways, as well as being made of a number of different fabrics. Modern {{transliteration|ja|obi}} are typically made of a crisp, if not stiff, weave of fabric, and may be relatively thick and unpliant.

{{transliteration|ja|[[Zōri]]}} are a type of sandal worn with kimono that resemble flip-flops by design, with the exception that the base is sturdier and at times forms a gently sloping heel. {{transliteration|ja|Zōri}} can be made of wood, leather and vinyl, with more formal varieties featuring decorated straps (known as {{transliteration|ja|hanao}}) that may be embroidered and woven with gold and silver yarn. These shoes are typically worn with white socks usually mostly covered by the kimono's hem. {{transliteration|ja|[[Geta (footwear)|Geta]]}} are sandals similar to {{transliteration|ja|zōri}} that are made to be worn in the snow or dirt, featured with wooden columns underneath the shoes.<ref name=":5"/>
