Yusuke“These are trousers worthy of the declaration, ‘This is flare!’ The country-style color palette is beautiful, rendered in a traditional glen check pattern, and the accent of the orange line is eye-catching. Details like the absence of a belt also add a playful touch. The main challenge is deciding what to pair with the top, but I recommend short down vests or jackets with a short hem, or long styles that fully cover the hips. Personally, I plan to wear just a sweater, or a coat over a sweater without a jacket.”

The waistband is wide, with no belt loops. The fresh design is that of tailored trousers, sharply creased down the center. A playful detail is hidden inside the waistband: a jacquard weave featuring a dancing dragon motif. Pants ¥120,000, Boots ¥198,000 (Gucci / Gucci Japan Customer Service 0120-88-1921)
