vol.35 “Shorts All Year Round” PRADA

Happy New Year. We hope you will continue to enjoy "The★Best 7" this year. I used to play karuta often during the New Year holidays, and there was always someone who would get too eager and touch the cards prematurely. This time, we focus on items that are so appealing they might tempt you to "touch" them early, bringing great joy to your style right from the start of the year.

PRADA

Sukezane“The pieces from Prada I’ve chosen are micro-mini shorts that show completely different expressions depending on the material. The design, which comes with a belt covered in the same fabric as the shorts, reminds me of the short pants I wore as a child, evoking a slightly nostalgic feeling.

The bleach denim shorts feature an intricate finish, with the brand logo discharged on the back right hip and the imprint of a removed triangle logo on the right hip pocket. The brown worsted wool shorts have sharp center creases and a sophisticated feel with their tailored trouser pockets.

However, it might be quite challenging for everyone to wear such short lengths effortlessly. Perhaps they are best styled with hose (men's high socks) to evoke the feeling of a nostalgic young boy. As for the trouser-style shorts, I'm seriously considering getting them, so I might give them a try.”
