A set-up” is a uniform outfit made of the same fabric, including suits, denim, jerseys, and so on. While these items can easily create a sense of unity, a little ingenuity is essential for men in their 40s, who seek a sense of calmness and maturity appropriate for their age. In this issue, we focus on the theme of “summer set-ups for men in their 40s,” and introduce the key points of set-ups for adults to choose, men’s coordination for reference, and recommended items!

What kind of set-ups should men in their 40s choose for summer?
Set-ups come in a variety of styles, from suits that combine a tailored jacket and slacks to denim, jersey, and sweatshirts, but men in their 40s should choose something clean and easy to create a smart impression. Especially in the summer, it is best to prioritize a clean and mature look, and avoid shorts, damaged items, and flashy items with excessive embellishments, which can easily look childish.

What material do you recommend for a summer set-up?
Summer wool is the material of choice for a formal, dress-conscious set-up, while cotton and linen are recommended for casual, lightweight comfort. Polyester is also a strong choice for a sporty set-up, but for a more mature look, cotton or linen is the natural material of choice for a more expensive look. Another key point is to choose a set-up made of uneven fabrics, such as the one worn in the snap below. The unevenness of the fabric reduces the surface area of the skin, making it less likely to feel sticky from perspiration.

When choosing a set-up for men in their 40s, size matters!
While simple item selection is the basic approach for 40s set-ups, size and silhouette are important for modern styling. To create a highly sophisticated coordinate, choose a true-to-size suit with just the right amount of room or a silhouette with a relaxed, modern feel. Especially in summer in Japan, when temperatures are high and humidity is high, tight fits and tight hemmed designs are not comfortable, as they do not allow air to pass through, leaving little space for heat to escape, and can make you look hot and bothered. It is important to find a line with just the right amount of room to create a stylish set-up coordinate that does not look dowdy.
