Also, even if it didn't offend my limited sense of style, and wasn't obviously way too warm, I still think it would be impractical for my rather physically demanding lifestyle. Running may not be a problem, but I'll bet crouching, climbing, and martial arts (particularly the kind with a lot of elaborate foot work) are not going to be an option, which means I probably couldn't go a full day in one.

Really baggy ankle length garments are not suited to a beginner martial arts, but I aspire to reach the grade where I can wear them (Specificly, Hakama).

I practice (well, not in the last few months) Aikido, where it is traditional for the grades of 1st Dan and above to wear hakama, it takes a little getting used to, but soon becomes of little hinderance (save for the warmth...).

They're no warmer than the pants of a heavywait gi and are less restrictive. They're actually great for martial arts when you keep your feet planted on the ground...
