News of domestic travel, centered on the Go To campaign, is bustling with news every day. If you plan well, it seems that you can enjoy a short trip at a surprisingly low price. Many people are planning to visit various parts of Japan, partly due to the reaction to their nesting life. Therefore, in this fashion series “Wear / Know”, I thought about travel clothes that suit the climate of Japan. The theme is clothes that can be used for hot spring inns, urban areas, and walking in the autumnal fields.
The style is “sports chic that breaks ivy”. I made the image of American classics that Japanese people like with modern items. The most important items when selecting items were practicality such as lightness, resistance to dirt, resistance to wrinkles, and strength of getting wet. A trip like riding a train with a big tote bag on your shoulder is something you want to spend without worrying about your clothes.
You don’t have to wear it in total, just add a single item to your everyday outfit and you’ll be comfortable. The contents of the total of 5 points are as follows.
1. New Balance pants that can be worn actively in all weather
2. Captain Sunshine Blazer to upgrade any outfit
3. Descente Orteline white shirt that is warm and wrinkle-free
4. John Smedley’s knit stall, which is also convenient as a pillow
5. Evolved urban, MoonStar rain boots
Let’s continue with these details.
Pants ¥ 14,960 (tax included) / New Balance (New Balance Japan Customer Service Office TEL: 0120-85-0997), Blazer ¥ 77,000 (tax included) / Captain Sunshine (Captain Sunshine TEL 03-6277-2193)
The pants are gray, which is the new color of “WAIST TO TOE”, which was developed by New Balance with the theme of pants that match sneakers. This model is a “wide tapered” with a tuck, a wide width, and a narrow hem. The length is short, and if you raise your waist slightly to a high waist, you can see your ankles, and if you drop it and wear it loosely, it will become a long length.
Even more noteworthy is the material, a new type of high-tech “Solotex” that is gaining popularity. It has a thick wool flannel tone and is plump and has strong elasticity, so it does not wrinkle easily even if you sit in a chair for a long time. My knees do not come off even if I repeatedly bend and stretch my legs. The inside is smooth and stress-free enough to make you want to wear it when you sleep. It is also excellent in that it can be easily washed and does not lose its shape. These sporty pants are the most convenient for traveling.
The gold button navy blazer is a magical jacket that looks great just by putting it on, even if you’re wearing a jersey on top or bottom. Tailored items aren’t a must-have item as you’ll have limited opportunities to tie up on domestic trips, but wearing a blazer is a good idea for everyone.
This time I chose the first place from the Japanese brand, Captain Sunshine. It is light and soft with a thin wool fabric, complete with American authentic details such as three-button step back, patch pockets with flaps and hook vents. There is plenty of room, and it is also useful for rough layering while traveling. The high storage capacity with four internal pockets is also attractive.
