Featured men's coordinates of blousons and recommended outerwear!

Blouson” is a general term for short-length outerwear with a narrow hem and a bulge at the back. In this issue, we introduce the key points of how to wear it, men’s coordinates from overseas that you can refer to, and recommended items!

Blouson is a functional men’s outerwear born from work clothes

Among outerwear, the blouson, with its short length and sporty look, derives its name from the French word “blouson,” meaning a jacket with a narrow hem and a bulge at the back.

The blouson makes a difference in styling by utilizing the short length and hemmed form!

Blousons come in a wide variety of styles, each with slightly different styling points, but they all have one thing in common: they are differentiated by their short length and narrow hemmed form. It is not an exaggeration to say that the choice of bottoms is the decisive factor for a good coordination, since the silhouette of the blouson bottoms stands out. Of course, it is also important to consider the overall balance of the styling, as a blouson worn with trendy full-length wide pants or baggy jeans will look quite different from a blouson worn with slim tapered pants, which tend to create a mature and smart impression, depending on whether the blouson is oversized or a perfect fit. It is also important to consider the overall balance of the styling.

Dressing Point 1: “A blouson is a strong choice to accentuate the silhouette of the bottoms.

Point 2: “The combination of a blouson and a turtleneck creates a sporty yet elegant look.

Sporty blousons and turtlenecks, which create an elegant and artistic mood, are a perfect match. In Italy, turtlenecks are called “dolce vita,” derived from Federico Ferrini’s ‘La Dolce Vita,’ and using a turtleneck sweater as an inner lining for a blouson gives a sweet, elegant look. The turtleneck sweater is used as an inner lining for the blouson, giving it a sweet and elegant atmosphere.

Dressing Point (3): “Use items in similar colors to blend in with the blouson to create a unified style mix.

To express a style mix coordination with blouson, the usual technique is to enhance the sense of unity by grouping blouson with items in the same color as the blouson.
