Best Hakama Pants for Women in 2026: Muji Alternatives, Sizes and Fit

Hakama pants for women are wide-leg trousers with a wrap panel that crosses the front, so they move like a skirt and wear like trousers. Ours are unisex: the same black hakama, sized XS to XL, with an elastic back and long ties at the side.

What our hakama pants are

  • A wrap panel that crosses the front and buttons at the hip, over a wide leg.
  • Long ties at the side and an elastic back, so the waist adjusts.
  • One pocket behind, a layered hem, and a matte black woven fabric with a little stretch.
  • Sizes XS to XL, one colour: black.

Size chart for women

Our sizes run by height and weight. The back is elastic, so pick by height first.

Size Height Weight
XS 5'3" to 5'5" (160 to 165 cm) 110 to 128 lb (50 to 58 kg)
S 5'5" to 5'7" (165 to 170 cm) 128 to 143 lb (58 to 65 kg)
M 5'7" to 5'9" (170 to 175 cm) 143 to 161 lb (65 to 73 kg)
L 5'9" to 5'11" (175 to 180 cm) 161 to 176 lb (73 to 80 kg)
XL 5'11" to 6'2" (180 to 188 cm) 176 to 194 lb (80 to 88 kg)

Under 5'3" the hem reaches the floor, which some people like with a platform shoe.

How to wear hakama pants

  • Fitted top, tucked in: a plain tee or a thin knit tucked in shows the wrap panel and balances the wide leg.
  • Cropped or boxy: a cropped cardigan or a short boxy shirt keeps the waist visible.
  • Long layers: a long open shirt or a light coat over the top makes a column of black, the way the pants are usually styled in Japan.
  • Shoes: flats, loafers, tabi shoes or simple sneakers. A low shoe lets the hem fall.
