Vol. 42: The Open-Collar Shirt
Yusuke“This time, I’ve selected some open-collar shirts that are perfect for the coming season.
Until around 1955, when air conditioning wasn't common, cooling items included fans, shaved ice, and white open-collar shirts. While today they might be seen with a nostalgic image, open-collar short-sleeved shirts made from materials like linen or rayon are perfectly suited for Japan's hot and humid climate. They also offer a canvas for unique prints and patterns, a characteristic of casual items. The ability to boldly wear striking designs is another major appeal of the open-collar shirt.
They also carry a tropical mood, like Aloha shirts, which can make you feel like you've escaped everyday life. I'm planning to wear them frequently myself this summer.”
