束带是自日本平安时代以后，天皇之下的公家（日本）所穿着的一种礼装。

束带从内到外由单、袙、下袭、半臂、袍组成，并在袍外腰部系一条皮革腰带，即石带。袴分有大口袴、表袴两种，表袴需穿着在大口袴之外。戴冠，穿袜，衣藏帖纸、桧扇，手执笏。公卿、殿上人要在腰间挂鱼袋。

束带的穿着有文、武官之别。文官以及三品以上武官身着缝腋袍，头戴垂缨。四品以下武官身着阙腋袍，头戴卷缨。另外，武官、中务省官员以及获勅令的参议以上官阶的文官可佩大刀。佩大刀时，要将刀用平绪绑在腰间。

The sokutai(束帯) is a complex attire worn only by courtiers, aristocrats and the Emperor at the Japanese imperial court. Parts of a sokutai are the shaku(笏), a flat ritual baton or sceptre, and a hat called kanmuri(冠).

No longer in normal use, the sokutai is however still worn by male imperial court members, including the Imperial family and government officials such as the Prime Minister on rare occasions, such as weddings and enthronement ceremonies. On such occasions women such as an empress or princess wear a jūnihitoe.
