What are the “trendy” and “popular” coordinates for winter 2023 men?

The current mood is “retro cool” reminiscent of characters in classic movies.

In the past few years, “secondhand clothes” with asset value have been attracting a lot of attention. Now that the culture of wearing classic pieces that have been considered good for a long time seems to have taken root, fashionable people are now focusing on how to wear them. I am particularly interested in the “cool retro look that reminds me of characters in classic movies. It is a good idea to take a look at the outfits of Jean Reno’s Leon Montana in “LEON” or the cast of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which is set in Hollywood in the 1960s. Find your own role model and try to realize a new and nostalgic look by assuming “if the person you referred to lived in the present day.

What we want to achieve is ” a style of dressing that has a retro feel, but is somehow modern and cool. Simply imitating the style referred to would be like cosplay, so I think it is important to sublimate it as your own fashion style. For example, “follow the combination of items worn in those days, but change the silhouette to a modern style,” or “mix iconic items from classic movies into your usual coordination. I believe that searching for the right answer for yourself from every possible angle will make fashion more fun and expand your styling range!

From here, we will introduce items that ima focus on while picking up classic movies and related outfits that we actually want to refer to!

Retro cool coordination item (1): “Wide faded denim pants

The oversized pants trend has been attracting attention over the past few years, and jeans are no exception to this trend, with a wider silhouette gaining popularity. The wide denim pants with an old-fashioned look that has been given a faded finish are the ones to aim for. As a sample of how to wear them, we picked up Leda from ‘ Crimson River 2: Angels of the Apocalypse,’ which was released in 2004. She wears a short jacket layered with a shirt and a pair of jeans with a loose, straight silhouette and a worn-in look on the bottom. The denim gives the look a moderately wild quality that matches well with the current mood of the brand.

I personally also like the adult, austere look that incorporates the leather jacket of Inspector Neimans, played by Jean Reno. The rugged urban styling of a roomy leather jacket with a black low-gauge knit with a stuffy neck as an inner layer seems to match the mood of this fall/winter season.

The slightly wide denim shorts add a “dare to be wild” feel to this look!

Catch the model coordinate of denim pants with a wide silhouette that is roomy all the way down to the hem, incorporated into a winter coordinate. The slightly cushioned jeans add a relaxed casual look to a simple coordinate of a navy coat and knitwear. White sneakers on the feet add a light touch.

Retro cool coordination item (2): “Loose-fitting leather jacket

Similar to the wide silhouette jeans mentioned above, the oversized leather jacket is an option for wearing with a loose-fitting silhouette, The stars of past movies wearing such leather jackets have a rugged appeal that is linked to the recent trend of wearing relaxed silhouettes.

A loose-fitting leather jacket goes surprisingly well with a clean outfit!

A B-3 type loose-fitting leather jacket, which gives the wearer a sturdy look just by wearing it, is matched with a full-patterned scarf, shirt, and slim pants with a tapered silhouette to create a beautiful look. The shiny look of the leather jacket gives it a glossy sheen, and its casual, loose-fitting silhouette goes surprisingly well with clean clothes. The trick to balancing the overall look is to choose shoes with a sense of weight on the feet to create a not-too-light look, while the innerwear and pants create a dressy and light atmosphere.

Sensitive teenagers and fashionable people in their 20s are in the mood to wear leather jackets in a “loose-fitting” style!

Highly sensitive teenagers and fashionable people in their twenties, including fashion influencers who are often the focus of attention on social networking sites, seem to be focusing on loose-fitting leather jackets and wide pants. As shown in the snapshot below, a mix of feminine elements is added with a wide neckline cut-and-sewn and heeled boots for a fresh look.

Retro cool coordination item (3): “Loose knit with a rough knit

Wear a low-gauge knit that feels as warm as if it were hand-knit in a relaxed, carefree manner. The photo that showed us the charm of such styling was taken during the recording of ‘ Manhattan,’ a movie released in 1979, directed, written by, and starring Woody Allen. The balance of relaxed and relaxed style that fits today’s mood, but also has a sense of elegance and serenity that is different from street fashion, is something I would like to reflect in my outfits from now on.

If you want to create a “loose” look with knitwear, we recommend that you choose a design with a rough, knitted look in a middle to low gauge. High-gauge knitwear is too delicate, so if you wear it oversized, it will simply look ill-fitting and give an impression of unreliability.

Match a loose low-gauge knit with clean pants for an urban adult casual look.

The knit is slightly oversized, and the pants have a clean tapered silhouette for a casual urban look. This laid-back look, which is different from street fashion, matches the current mood.

Retro Cool Cordage Featured Item 4: “Trekking boots that don’t forget about adult elegance.

In the movie “Vanilla Sky,” David (left), played by Tom Cruise, is running through the empty streets of New York City. It is interesting that he wears leather trekking boots on the feet of his simple coordinate of a stainless coat, white shirt, and slim jeans. While the authentic trekking boots of an outdoor brand may look out of place when worn with street clothes, the classic and classy design of the boots serves just the right purpose to add a fresh twist to the coordination.

Simple leather trekking boots can give a martial taste while maintaining an elegant impression.

Slim jeans and leather trekking boots are worn with a sporty down jacket for a rugged and stylish look. This is a good example of styling that refreshes the monotone coordinate, which tends to look simple and monotonous, by adding a good amount of martial accents to the footwear. Trekking boots with both a classy and rugged look can be worn with all kinds of winter outfits.

The appeal of classic-faced boots is that they are stable and not trendy. I think they are one of those items that are functional and become more suitable as you get older, so I think it is a good idea to buy the best ones you can with the budget you can afford. I personally recommend Danner’s MOUNTAIN LIGHT,Diemme’s Roccia Vet, or Paraboot’s AVORIAZ. If you want to be more aggressive, Guidi’s HIKING BOOTS “19” is also a good choice!

Retro cool coordinating item (5): “Long stainless steel collar coat with a lot of presence

Finally, we focus on the stainless-steel collar coat, a staple of autumn and winter outerwear. The long stainless-steel collar coat made of cotton fabric that has a slightly worn-in texture will add a retro austerity to your coordinate just by putting it on. The long length of the coat, which reaches down to the knees, will make you look like an important character in a movie.

If you want to wear a heavy long coat smartly, it is a promise to create a lightness on your feet!

Long coats are often worn poorly because they look too heavy. It is easy to create a clean and modern look by wearing no-cushion pants on the feet and sneakers or slip-on leather shoes to create a light atmosphere.
