What’s the current mood of the MA-1 coordinate? 5 outfit ideas

What's the current mood of the MA-1 coordinate? 5 outfit ideas

The MA-1 is characterized by its relaxed width and short length, and now more than ever, the MA-1, the staple outerwear of fall and winter, is in vogue.

Outerwear Trends for Fall/Winter 2024Short-length outerwear is in full swing! The MA-1 is the best match for the current mood.

The long-running oversized trend has spilled over into the outerwear trend, but this has been changing over the past few years. Short-length outerwear with loose silhouettes (drop shoulders, box silhouettes, etc.) are popular, with only the length shrinking while maintaining the relaxed silhouette (drop shoulders, box silhouettes, etc.). The MA-1 is the first of these. The MA-1 is not easily influenced by trends, and has always been a major outerwear staple, but this season it seems to be gaining momentum in particular.

There are not only MA-1s but also various other short-length outerwear for fall and winter, such as military jackets, denim jackets, stadium jackets, and riders’ jackets, but I think the MA-1 is the one whose original shape (original) matches the current trend the best. The silhouette is wide but short, which is perfect for the current mood.

Next, we will introduce a selection of street snaps that we would like to refer to for MA-1 coordinates this season!

MA-1 Wearing Ideas 1Wear a high neck knit for a seasonal layered coordinate

This is an example of incorporating the MA-1 into a layered coordinate, which is a hot style this season. The MA-1 is often made with loose-fitting sleeves and body, so it can be layered with thick knitwear and sweatshirts without bloating.

MA-1 Wearing Ideas 2For a modern dress mix coordinate, set on full-length wide slacks

To make the MA-1 coordinate look mature, combine it with beautiful dress items. MA-1 is an item that can be worn with anything, so slacks can be worn with ease, but if you are looking for a modern look at the same time, try a silhouette like the man shown here. By wearing wide slacks that are just long enough to give you a little cushion at the hem, you can create a trend-conscious mood in a dress-mix MA-1 coordinate.

MA-1 Wearing Ideas 3Choose a material other than nylon if you want to reduce the military look

The MA-1, originally a flight jacket used by the Air Force, has become a fashion item that is widely and deeply popular. The MA-1 is a fashion item that is widely and deeply popular, although it was originally a flight jacket used by the Air Force.

MA-1 Wearing Ideas 4A crisp, oversized fit fits the current trend

The MA-1, with its voluminous big silhouette, is a perfect match for street style. It fits naturally with the recent oversized trend, and the short length with a cinched hem gives the outfit a bit of flair. The “simply oversized” trend has already passed, and the “crisp, oversized” trend has become the mainstream. MA-1 is likely to play an active role as a mainstay outerwear more than ever.

MA-1 Wearing Ideas 5If you want to create an urban and sophisticated image, a modern updated brand-name MA-1 is the best choice

The MA-1 retains details such as the cigar pockets on the sleeves, while the silhouette has been updated in a modern way. MA-1s with modernized silhouettes, etc., while retaining details such as cigar pockets on the sleeves, etc., are being proposed by many high-end and designer brands. While it is romantic to look for a stiff military-style item, if you are looking for an urban and sophisticated image, choosing a brand-name item is also an option. If you want to match it with trendy items such as oversized sweatshirt parkas and wide silhouette pants, a modern MA-1 will look great.

Next, we introduce some recommended MA-1s!
