How to Style ESTNATION's New Outerwear, as Proposed by Yuma Tomoki
ESTNATION is renowned for the high quality of its original products, offering a curated selection of items that adult men can wear with confidence. With "luxury embodying the mindset of a new era, transcending time," as its keyword, the brand presents its latest collection. Here, we introduce nine essential outerwear pieces for autumn and winter. Classic items like trench coats and flight jackets are reimagined with a modern, urban finish this year. We hope you'll take inspiration from the styling by fashion director Tomoki Sukezane and begin preparing for the season.

Modern Interpretations of Effortless Adult Style
This season at ESTNATION, in line with the nostalgic trends of the '80s and '90s, classic items that adult men should own have been deconstructed and reinterpreted for the modern era. Furthermore, the brand proposes effortless styling by expressing a combination of heavy and light elements. Not only are lightweight and soft materials like soft flannel, nylon, and jersey used, but even heavier materials such as tweed and corduroy have been lightened. The designs feature ample silhouettes, showcasing skillful techniques throughout.
Iconic military wear, such as the M-51 mods coat and M-65 field jacket, which the brand excels at, are updated with premium materials like cashmere and alpaca, and stripped of excessive detailing for a modern appeal. It seems you can enjoy a sophisticated urban military style befitting adult men.
Additionally, for dress styles, the brand presents a comprehensive collection based on black, a color previously offered less frequently. While fabrics like bouclé and tweed offer rich textures, and patterns are selected with black as the base, the overall impression is one of pure, urban sophistication, distinct from a glossy or nocturnal vibe. The use of muted greens, mustard, and reds as accent colors allows for a layered and deep black styling.
How to Style the New Outerwear?
From ESTNATION's new collection, we've selected nine recommended outerwear pieces suitable for various occasions. This time, Tomoki Sukezane guides us through styling each piece, drawing inspiration from the '80s and '90s to present contemporary, on-trend looks. Because these are all standard items, we encourage you to look closely at the styling that showcases a refined sense of style.
A Hard Tweed Coat in a Relaxed Style"The bold herringbone double-breasted design makes a strong statement, so I kept the inner layers relaxed, evoking a weekend feel. I paired a chunky knit with slightly loose-fitting pants, and finished with light sneakers."
Simple and Modern Blue-Gray Monotone"This is a coordinate centered around a coat with a simple yet striking raglan sleeve design, all in a gray monotone. By choosing sneakers that aren't overly sporty, the entire look achieves a sophisticated and modern impression."
A Chester Coat for a Glamorous Dress Style"This double-faced Chesterfield coat is surprisingly light, perfect for wearing like a robe. While it's easy enough for a quick trip out, I recommend dressing it up with leather shoes for a more formal look."
A Modern and Smart Take on the Duffle Coat"While many duffle coats have a relaxed fit, this one features a remarkably slim, tight silhouette. To complement its modern feel, I've kept the inner layers simple in black. Try wearing it open, leaving the front toggle buttons undone."
A Dressy Pea Coat Styled for the Outdoors"This is a long, dressy coat, somewhere between a pea coat and a polo coat. I've paired it with fine-wale corduroy pants for an outdoor-inspired look. Adding accessories like a hat and gloves enhances the country-style mood."
A Modern Mods Style for a Contemporary Feel"This mods parka, with its relaxed silhouette, is perfect for the current season. I've kept all the inner layers black for a modern mods style. The key to a sharp look is pairing it with Chelsea boots. Don't forget sunglasses to complete the ensemble."
Channeling '80s London with a Classic Trench Coat"This is a white monotone coordinate, layering a turtleneck sweater with a hoodie and pairing it with slacks. It's a styling proposal for a trench coat inspired by '80s London. I chose a hat in a similar shade and grounded the look with black loafers."
A Modern N-3B Jacket"This N-3B blouson faithfully reproduces military details. To achieve a modern and sharp finish, the key is the footwear. Opt for simple, streamlined boots rather than chunky lace-up styles for an urban look."
An Elegant MA-1 with a Twist"This is an elegant styling that pairs an MA-1 jacket with slacks. The inspiration here is '80s Britain, channeling the Pet Shop Boys. Finish the look with a slender umbrella, like a gentleman."Inquiries
