The popular Lehman type is a man who is able to handle both his work and love life without a hitch. They are also active in magazine “Yomomo” activities. They are good at wearing suits and jackets for work with a clean look! They are also good at off-duty jacket styles, as they often go to parties, clubs, and blind dates. When it comes to the way he dresses, he is particularly concerned about how he is perceived by his bosses, business partners, and women. I like to have a good sense of humor, such as, “This is a product that took a lot of time and effort by a craftsman…” Instead, you should consider the balance of the item from a “cosmetic” point of view, and make sure that the item is smart. She has a good sense of choosing items smartly and with a good balance of “how is it cost-effective? He is busy both on and off the job, so he often finishes his shopping in a short time at select stores, Isetan Men’s Building, Hankyu Men’s Tokyo, etc., where he can shop more efficiently.

This type never misses a chance to check out the latest Pitti Uomo snapshots and aims to be an Italian dandy. Naturally, almost all of the jackets and slacks he wears are made in Italy, and he has a deep knowledge of materials and details. He is also the type who is willing to spend money on fashion, as he needs to buy imported items on a regular basis. However, they are also characterized by their European philosophy of ” classic, good quality items to be worn for a long time,” so many of them take good care of expensive items and use them carefully for a long time.
(3) Always checks fashion shows. They love fashionable designer brands.
Life is fashion! This type of person’s purpose in life is fashion. This is the type of person whose purpose in life is fashion. “I felt the effortless concept of this year’s Fatty’s spring/summer collection, but it’s from last year, so it lacks a bit of freshness. This is the type of comment that makes us ordinary people say, “I can’t keep up with the latest trends. Looking back, we see that they have already adopted the current fashion trend two or three years ago. The amount of money they spend on clothes is more than that of the Date-man type. Because in the community they belong to, they are often asked, “Hey, is that last year’s model? They are not allowed to wear old items by mistake. It is also common to see them walking around with fashionable women who are incomprehensible to the general public.
(4) Strengths in sneaker-based street style. Sneaker-heads type
Sneakers are a key item in street fashion. The sneakerheads type has fallen in love with such sneakers. They are always on the lookout for the limited-edition models that line the shelves at Mitasneakers and Atmos, and even if they know they will never wear them, they will buy them for their collections if they hear that they are limited editions. I have often purchased limited-edition sneakers for my collection, even if I know I will never wear them. I shout in my heart, “Don’t call sneakers a boom! I am also particular about tops and bottoms, and am always looking for rare items that are different from others. I always research and check my knowledge with books such as the following.
(5) Masculine taste, American casual type
No matter how much the world’s trends change, this type of person will always pursue the American casual look. They are also characterized by their masculine hobbies such as outdoor activities, motorcycles, and cars. Even in seemingly casual outfits, they spend unbelievable amounts of money on leather jackets, jeans, and silver accessories. They also enjoy the way leather and silver items change over time and use the same items for many years.
(6) Urban fashionable surfer type
A healthy tan goes well with denim, T-shirts, and sweatpants for ease of movement. As a real surfer, he has a high sense of fashion, so he is not satisfied with popular surf brands, but creates a sophisticated coordination with a strong nautical feel by skillfully using non-surf brands and urban surf brands from New York and Tokyo. The more fashionable you are among surfers, the more your fashionable look stands out.
(7) Rock and military tastes are at home. Stylish fighter type

This type prefers masculine and glamorous taste in clothing. They often do martial arts, work out at a gym, or tan their skin at a tanning salon. They are distinctly different from the cheesy “yakara-kei” or “delinquent” type of fashion, and they add domestic designer brands that specialize in rock and military styles to their outfits. I think there are many professional fighters and restaurant managers. By the way, it’s good for gals.
(8) Hair is a barber and feet are work boots, the New York ragid type!
This type has the atmosphere of a New York barbershop clerk, and the image is a mix of New York trends with a group that originally likes American casual wear. The fashion theme is ” masculinity, essence, and NY-ness. He chooses straight denim from a particular brand, even if skinny jeans are in fashion, and he is particular about the trimmed part of his pompadour hair and the length of his mustache, millimeter by millimeter, and he never fails to maintain them meticulously. Although they may appear to have a rough personality because of their masculine appearance, it is surprising to find that many Type A types are actually detail-oriented.
(9) A popular WEAR type who wears any item with style and flair.
This is the type that makes any item of clothing look fashionable with their slender style and good sense. Although not so popular among men, they excel in petit-price fashion using so-called “fast fashion,” vintage clothing, and second-line items from select stores to dress without spending a lot of money. They are also quick to adopt trends and fashions and own a large number of items. The amount of time and inquisitiveness they spend shopping and gathering information is unbelievable. This type is often seen among hairdressers and student readers, and is also popular among college students and other girls in their early 20s.
