This time, we will focus on “Warm Biz,” which occupies an important position in winter business attire, and introduce the key points for dressing and coordinating according to the level of formality!

What is Warm Biz?

WARM BIZ” is an energy-saving activity initiated by the Ministry of the Environment that began in the fall/winter of 2005, and is a part of the global warming countermeasures. The “Warm Biz” initiative, which goes back to the basics of “wearing clothes when it is cold” without relying excessively on heating devices (air conditioners, etc.), encourages business styles that are comfortable at a set indoor temperature of 20°C during the implementation period from November 1 through March 31. Generally, when using electric power air conditioning equipment, the energy-saving effect of adjusting the room temperature setting is greater for heating, so it is expected to contribute to significant power savings and CO2 emissions reduction. As with Cool Biz, many items made of new functional materials for Warm Biz have been released by various brands/manufacturers, so you should choose the most suitable item from the viewpoint of TPO and heat retention. In addition to clothing, the Ministry of the Environment also offers lifestyle tips through illustrations and posters, such as “choose warm food for lunch,” “warm up with light exercise such as stretching,” and “take the stairs when moving to a nearby floor.

As Warm Biz styles change with the times, it is important to strategically select the most appropriate office wear.

In these days when the boundary between business and casual wear is disappearing, tailored jackets with a moderately casual design are just right. There is a growing sentiment that “I want a jacket that goes well with T-shirts, knitwear, and sneakers,” and “I want a slightly loose design that reflects trends and looks good off-duty, with a minimum of firmness.
