One of the topics to keep in mind for this year’s fall/winter coordination is ” layering. This is not just about keeping out the cold, but rather about deliberate layering for a more fashionable look. In this issue, we introduce a sample style of layered clothing that will give your fall/winter coordination a fresh finish!

For the fall/winter coordination of 2023, we recommend layering clothes to the extent that it looks deliberate for the purpose of being fashionable!
Speaking of fall and winter, you will inevitably have to wear more layers as you have more clothes to wear, but recently the focus has been on “deliberate” layering styles. By adding one or two more mid-layers than usual, you can create a unique layered style that is not just for protection from the cold, but also for fashion. This is also a very useful technique for those who want to add colors such as yellow, red, and burgundy, which are popular colors this season, not as the main item but as a part of the outfit. Why not explore your own layered style by combining shirts, cardigans, jackets, and other items you have on hand?
Add something extra to last year’s coat style! A simple arrangement technique just by being conscious of coloring
A coat over a hoodie has become a standard style, but adding a mid-layer to it will give your outfit a more modern look. Adding just one mid-layer is not that difficult, and it is easy to keep a good balance by using monotone colors like the man shown here. We recommend that you start with this kind of one-layer outfit!
If you are conscious of unifying the coloring, you can create a natural impression even in an advanced coordination.
This is an advanced coordination that layers clothes of about the same length, all with shirt collars. The key to the styling here, too, is the color selection of the items used. By using the same colors while using different tones, the outfit has a natural cohesiveness despite the deliberate layering of clothes. The balance of the two is also achieved by not using a series of patterned items, but instead inserting a plain item in between.
The neckline of the innerwear is another way of expressing a “deliberate” look!
One way to add a “deliberate look” to layered clothing is to use an inner neckline. A chester coat, tailored jacket, and sweater are the standard autumn/winter beautiful style, but by making the neckline of the sweater V, the white inner lining at the bottom of the sweater shows through. The contrast with the pink also creates a look that is clearly different from orthodox layered clothing.
If you want to be stylish with coloring, use a “targeted” color combination rather than a unified look!
Since layering clothes tends to make them look different from each other, the shortcut to success is to use a defensive coloring, such as monotone or unifying them with similar colors. For example, in the coordination shown here, brown is used for the coat and shoes, and navy for the mid-layer jacket and pants to express Azzurro e Marrone throughout the body. If you create a layered coordinate like this, with a color combination that is not uniform but fashionable, you will surely stand out from the others as a man with a high standard of excellence.
Down vests are outerwear and innerwear that can be widely used in fall and winter layering coordinates.
Down vests are at the top of the list of items that can be easily used for layering. As shown here, you can enjoy the contrast of the sleeves by wearing it over a patterned item, or you can wear it as an inner layer of a coat to accentuate the unique texture of down. We recommend choosing a size that is neither too large nor too small so that it can be used in either pattern.
Light outerwear worn in the fall can be used as innerwear in the winter. First, let’s look for combinations from your wardrobe.
Short-length outerwear is gaining popularity this season, so it is possible to use short-length light outerwear worn in the fall as innerwear in the winter. Try tucking shirts, cardigans, and light jackets into the winter coordinate you are considering. You can create a new look from your existing wardrobe without having to buy new clothes.
