Formal outfits for upper ranks samurai & Most formal for lesser ranks samurai - Hitatare, Daimon and Suô court dress,
(as worn by samurai of the Edo period - great charts by Nadeshico Rin). You can find more about samurai ranks and their regulated attires under the tag "samurai kimono".
The Hitatare
直垂 Hitatare first appeared as an attire worn by lower class warriors. As buke (warrior class) rose into status, it was slowy established as a formal garb for samurai during Kamakura period.
In Edo period, hitatare was the most formal attire worn by samurai of the 3rd rank and above. Fabrics used were luxurious, such as 精好織 seigo-ori (a type of textured silk, also used for Shinto priest clothing nowadays).
風折烏帽子 Kazaori-eboshi - black-lacquered hat made of silk, cloth or paper, originally worn by Heian nobility. Many eboshi shapes exist, this one is a upright style (tate-eboshi 立烏帽子) with top folded to the left.
袴 Hakama - formal pants, more exactly 長袴 nagabakama trailing pants
小さ刀 Chîsagatana - a small decorative katana
胸紐 Munahimo - chest ties, first appeared on Heian nobility clothes
菊綴 Kikutoji - decorative tassel-like knots, first appeared on Heian nobility clothes
袖括 Sodekukuri - decorative sleeve ties. Originally appeared on Heian clothings (like kariginu, nôshi, etc) where they were used to tighten sleeve cuffs. Later types like the tiny ones above are purely decorative.
The Daimon
The 大紋 daimon is a specific hitatare set patterned with large 紋 mon (clan/family crests). It was worn by fifth court rank samurai (rank of the daimyô lords for example).
It was put over a 熨斗目 noshime, a type of kosode (=ancestor of the kimono) worn by samurai, with stripes or lattice pattern around waist area.
The Suô
The 素襖 Suô, also a variation of the hitatare, was the ceremonial dress of the lower-ranked samurai. Via explicit permission of the shogunate, some samurai could be granted the right to wear 布衣 hoi (a type of kariginu).
It looked very similar to daimon set, but showed fewer crests of much smaller size. The hat was also different as they wore one called a 侍烏帽子 samurai eboshi.

Мой друг заставил меня смотреть это аниме и я думаю это контент от меня по нему который мы все заслужили. Я у мамы генератор кринжа. Я пока правда только 10 из 12 серий посмотрела...
Теперь вам есть чем отвечать на открытки родственников в вацапе благодаря мне

I have been more ill than I have been in a long time, and as a result I have watched a lot of Netflix
I watched one thing called children of the whales… it’s OK, quite an enjoyable watch whilst dosed up and ill. Can’t recomend it for it’s perfect story telling, but I did like this chap:
His name is Suou, please direct affection accordingly.

Considering that COTW is one of my favorite series, I post very little art for it. I crave fanart for this fandom and forget that I have the ability to draw myself.
Now that I am currently sick and thus have more time at my hands than usual I actually sat down and thought about how I would want COTW characters to look like in my art style. 
These are first attempts at Lykos, Suou and Ouni. I have drawn both Suou and Lykos before so I kind of knew where I wanted to go with them, but this is the first time I have actually drawn Ouni so he ended up looking a bit messy.
