A Mixture of New Lacoste and Old Lacoste Styles.Vol.04

LACOSTE is a brand that never gets old, even decades later. To prove this point, we asked up-and-coming stylists to freely combine new outerwear and vintage clothing. For our fourth installment, we asked Itumi Takashina. I was impressed by Lacoste's permanent craftsmanship when I looked into their secondhand clothes again. In addition to the vintage clothing featured in this issue, I found many other items that made me gasp in surprise."

I myself used to wear monotone clothes on a daily basis. I've grown tired of that (laughs), and since it's the change of season, I've been wearing brown clothes a lot lately. This styling reflects my feelings."

Down-based styling is often casual, but brown tone-on-tone gives a much more sophisticated impression.

At first glance, brown all over may seem like a hard sell, but by adding a plaid shirt and a street-style printed T-shirt, you can easily create a crisp style.

The hood is removed on a dare to suppress the assertiveness of the down.

NEW LACOSTE

Slightly brushed serge fabric gives this basic field jacket an elegant finish. Plenty of down, a detachable hood, and faux fur provide perfect warmth. The shell has a water-repellent finish.

OLD LACOSTE

This is a half-zip type that is not often seen. The compact size is also suitable for girls. Mr. Gao says he was also struck by the color fading and the worn-out look that only secondhand clothing can give. (We are giving away these old clothes as a present to our readers! For more information)
