Shuhei Nishiguchi of BEAMS F explains trends! Five techniques to dress stylishly for the fall/winter season!

Trend Explanation (1): “The polarization between ‘classic’ and ‘functional’ is truly apparent.

The “return to classic” and “casualization” of dress styles has been continuing for several years. This season, these two polarizing trends are more apparent. Rather than half-heartedly mixing the two, this season’s major trend is to wear classics in a classic manner and casual wear in a very casual manner. Mr. Nishiguchi tells us about the specific characteristics of these two trends.

The art of building a classic dress style “with a touch of iconic ‘British Country'”.

The classic trend changes slightly every year. Among them, British keywords have become mainstream this season. For example, tweed, homespun, fair isle knit, and corduroy. Iconic styles incorporating easily recognizable British fabrics are popular. For suits and jackets, we look for English mood textiles such as glen check, chalk stripe, and herringbone, as well as English details such as change pockets and side adjusters.

For example, here’s a look like this…
Alessio Raldini in acountry-style brown chalk stripe. The V-zone is also a nice touch, with the pinhole collar shirt creating a three-dimensional effect.

This double suit is made of trendy flannel fabric and fits the current mood with its English-style change pocket details and dignified lapel design. Paidea itself has been developing its collection along classic lines since its launch, and the trends of the past few years seem to have brought it to the forefront of attention. Classic suits are both trendy and universal. The fabrics are durable and the designs have a charm that will never go out of style, making them perfect for years of wear.

The “Drekaji style” is made of functional fabrics that provide a comfortable fit, and the sneakers are a great way to shift the look to a more casual one!

The ” casualization ” trend, which goes against the classic, focuses on items that incorporate functional materials such as packable, stretchable, and water-repellent fabrics. For slacks, easy-grain versions with drawcords at the waist are popular. This season, we are seeing a growing trend toward a more casual style that combines such functional items with sneakers on the feet.

For example, here’s a look like this…
Gennaro D’Argenio, director of CIRCOLO 1901, wears ajersey jacket and pants set-up with sneakers on his feet. As you can see, a suit made of functional material goes well with a T-shirt and sneakers.

Here are the suits that incorporate plenty of functional designs that are the focus of 2018/19AW! SOLIDO (SOLIDO set-up suits) ”

The pants brand “SOLIDO” has been around since 2010. The brand makes full use of functional materials such as super-dodzume jersey to develop many items that are extremely comfortable to wear. The smart look is perfect for expressing urban sporty coordination.

This set-up suit is tailored in stretchy jersey material and incorporates a switching design that enhances elasticity at the waist side of the pants for improved comfort. The strength of this set-up suit is that it can be worn tied up for a dressy look or with sneakers on your feet for a more casual look. If you are going to try the suit and sneakers style, this suit should definitely be on your list.
