Shuhei Nishiguchi of BEAMS F explains trends! Five techniques to dress stylishly for the fall/winter season! Page 7

Based on the above trend explanations and techniques, we introduce Mr. Nishiguchi’s favorite coordinates for the 2018/19 AW season!

Mr. Nishiguchi’s Favorite Coordinate (1) “Highly Sensitive Gray Suit Style with Purple Throughout ” (Japanese only)

Purple is used throughout the gray suit style to express a highly sensitive southeastern style. Seasonal purple is set in the base of the tie, the stripes of the shirt, and the check pattern of the suit. It is possible to show off a high level of sensitivity by scattering the seasonal color throughout the entire body, or to subtly assert it by incorporating it alone.

Mr. Nishiguchi’s favorite coordinate (2) “Business casual jacket style with a black polo shirt as innerwear for a modern finish.

A black polo shirt is set as an inner layer of a double blazer with an attractive gold button design that shines against the indigo material, expressing a modern jacket coordination. A bottle green-based scarf is added around the neck for an even more trend-conscious look. This is a good example of a stylish coordinate with a chic color scheme, but with details and accessories that make a strong statement.

Mr. Nishiguchi’s favorite coordinate (3) “This is the Nishiguchi style! A suede leather jacket on top of a well-crafted jacketed pants coordinate”.

A hound’s tooth patterned tailored jacket and gray slacks give this Nishiguchi style jacket a casual, country feel. A suede leather jacket is set as the outer layer, and the technique of using a belt to trim the front of the jacket gives it the air of an expert. A white mock-neck inner layer is worn around the neck for a clean finish, and a scarf with a retro pattern is added as an accent.
