Serious question. How do you pronounce “tout” in English? Is it /tu:t/ or /taut/? Asking for a friend.

If you check the original post, you can see in the photo, these girls are wearing 袴 (“samurai pants” for lack of a better word lol). This is a symbol of post-Edo Period attempts to empower women. They also wear 袴 when they graduate university.
