No. 5 “Down vest” winter clothes symbolizing the year 2023
The winter in 2023 is expected to be mild, with many days in November when it is possible to wear only a sweatshirt or knit, and demand for heavy outerwear such as down jackets, MA-1s, and wool coats is decreasing compared to previous years. Instead, down vests, which are sleeveless, do not get too warm and give a good silhouette balance to the overall outfit, are popular. This year’s fall/winter coordinate is a fresh take on “deliberate layering! Men’s Styles for Reference”, it can also be used for a deliberate layering style for the purpose of being fashionable, not for protection from the cold.

No. 4 Winter Clothing Symbolizing the Year 2023: “Detroit Jacket”
Carhartt’s Detroit Jacket is known as the classic outerwear of the short-length jackets that have been in vogue for the past few years. The short length with a wide body width that matches the current mood, the Dearborn canvas fabric that becomes more textured as it is worn, and the corduroy collar that serves as a fashion accent have all been reevaluated and rapidly increasing in popularity over the past few years. In addition, the supply-demand balance has been reversed due to the influence of the vintage clothing boom. While three or four years ago they were circulating at less than 10,000 yen at used clothing stores, in 2023 most of them are being sold at about the same price as the current list price. In addition, the moss green one worn by Johnny Depp sometimes fetches more than 100,000 yen.

No. 1 Winter Wear Symbolizing the Year 2023: “Wide Denim
It is no exaggeration to say that “wide denim” will be worn in more than 80% of fashionable winter outfits in 2023. If you want to make your outfits look more modern, you must buy wide denim this year. Aim for a silhouette that falls straight from the waist to the hem. If you wear them with a cushioned footbed and a relaxed atmosphere, you can complete a modern winter coordinate at once. We recommend wearing it with a powerful cable knit as shown below. While both the top and bottom are generously sized, the length of the top is not too long and the waist of the bottom is fitted, creating a sophisticated impression that is different from the dowdy, oversized look.
