-What are the key points of dressing?
Personally, I was conscious of the classic American traditional style. Personally, I have an image of the American traditional style as a navy blue blazer and chinos, but it would not be interesting to express it as it is, so I tried wearing beige denim on the waist. In terms of tension, it is like wearing a double navy blue blazer with the T-shirt and denim that I usually wear, just like a shirt. The jacket is authentic in nature, so the point is to match it with a slightly different type of denim. This jacket would also be interesting with military pants.
-What is the key to choosing a double jacket?
I don't have many opportunities to wear a double jacket, so I feel like I can wear it to parties and events where I want to get into the spirit (laughs). This time I chose a navy blue blazer with an authentic design, but with a double jacket, it would be fine to choose a jacket with a unique design.
-What are the features of the jacket you wore this time?
This navy blue blazer is from Ernest Double Baker, which advocates a contemporary preppy style based on the classic tailoring of the 60s and 70s. Recently, unconventional jackets are in vogue, but this navy blue blazer is quite conservative, with shoulder pads and a shaped waist. I decided to slightly alter the pants to match the jacket.
The authentic jacket with metal buttons and gauze lines is well downplayed by wearing a T-shirt inside. The beige denim from "Our Legacy," which Mr. Wada says was inspired by chinos, has an unusual design with a transfer print that expresses the faded look of vintage denim, such as the bite and whiskers. She says she is in the mood for boots on her feet.
