Warming up with TAION, each in his or her own way of dressing.

With the outlook for a mild winter this year, it will be difficult to choose the right outerwear. What we would like to recommend for those days when the temperature varies greatly is TAION, which offers highly functional and high quality inner down. TAION offers several lines in different styles, all of which are fashionable enough to be worn as outerwear. We will pick up the "Basic Line" and the "Military Line" this time. We asked four groups of friends, family members, and business associates to appear and wear each item in their own way.

What is Basic Line?
An enduring classic that never goes out of style or trend.

The "Basic Line" features a lineup of items that are representative of the "Taion" brand. In addition to inner down, the line includes down vests that can be worn as outerwear, down parkas, down jackets, and other standard items. The long sellers are available in as many as 20 different colors to suit each individual's personality.

From daily life to travel, convenience in a small package.

-What kind of holidays do you spend with your family?

Issei: I often ride my bicycle to Shimokitazawa , look at clothes, have lunch, and walk home.

Rio: Hanon is still small, so we don't go very far, we spend most of our time in the neighborhood.

Issei: But every year, with my family, we go on a trip in Japan. At the end of August this year, we went to Kagawa and Awaji Island for a week. The destinations are always decided according to what we want to eat.

Rio: Next year I would like to go to Hokkaido , and eat seafood.

Issei wears: Basic down shirt ¥7,920, ,Rio wears: Basic Down Skirt ¥7,920

-Has anything changed since Hanon was born?

Issei: My priorities have changed. My children became my first priority, and I put myself on the back burner. I think I have become more patient. . Thanks to this, I feel more relaxed at work.

-What's changed in fashion?

Rio: I wear rougher clothes than before . We play together in the park, so it's better to be able to move around easily , and I also choose things that I don't mind getting dirty.

-What do you wear every winter?

Issei: . I wear silver, orange, and other flashy colored outerwear. . This year, I want to match them with innerwear in subdued and mature colors. . Like, flashy outside, but calm when I take off my outerwear indoors.

Rio: I, too, like to wear loudly colored outerwear in the winter, and I like firmer materials.

Hanon-chan wears: 【KIDS] Basic Crew Neck Button Inner Down Jacket ¥6,930

-Today you wore the "Basic Line" from "Taion", how do you like it?

Issei: It is lightweight , and warm. The collar makes it easy to use as outerwear, unlike collarless or stand collar inner downs.

Rio: Your collar is cute. The coloring looks good on you.

Issei: This kind of coloring is exactly what I'm feeling this winter. It can be worn under outerwear as well, making it a very versatile piece of clothing.

Rio: . I wore a down skirt for the first time. I always wear denim shorts, so this is fresh and light.

. - they can all be packed small in the storage bag that comes with them.

Rio: It's very convenient; it doesn't get in the way when Hanon moves around in the park and takes off his outerwear, and it's easy to carry around as a spare outer layer in case it gets cold. I myself don't like bulky outerwear when I take it off, so I don't wear down jackets. . but if it is this small, I would like to wear it.

Issei: In addition to those daily activities, it will also be useful when I travel. . I definitely want to take it with me to Hokkaido, where I plan to go next year.
