traditionally, kimono referred to any sort of clothing >.>'
not just the elaborate robes that the women wore....
and i don't think they are "versions" for women...
women and men wear pretty much the same ...

Kimono is not simply an "undergarment" but is the main thing. hakama and haori compliment the kimono. It's nit-picking, but true. Why would you think that I said you would wear a hakama or haori over nothing?
Technically "kimono" means "clothes" but ask any Japanese person, and what is "kimono" and 99% will describe the formal traditional wear.
I think you need to do a little more research. Mens and womens kimono are VERY different. The sleeves and colors differ depending on a woman's age and marital status, and women's kimono tend to have more patterns and feminine colors, where mens tend to be more plain, in blacks and grays.
As a man would you wear this?
