Masculine Coordination to Enhance Beauty

“This year, I highly recommend streamlined, sharp, and mannish coats. Alternatively, I'm drawn to coordinating soft-colored or textured pieces with crisp, vivid colored pants or patterned pants. Not casual items like denim, but rather mannish styles in wool with a center crease. I recommend finishing the look with a ‘glamorous masculine’ style by adding feminine items or subtle touches.” So says Yukiko Sudo, buyer for Isetan Shinjuku's International Designers.

Sudo proposes masculine coordination that enhances a woman's beauty. We'll show you how to wear these looks, centered around the latest trends.

—What are the must-have items for this season's coat styling?

Center-creased pants. Not only in terms of solid materials and textures, but crisp pants are a trendy item that I want to pair with any outfit this season. They come in a rich variety of colors, and the single pressed line emphasizes the straightness of the legs, creating the effect of longer, beautiful legs.

—What are the styling tips?

For pants, choose wool with a center crease. For the inner layer, opt for a shirt rather than a knit to create a sharp look, then incorporate a coat in a soft color or feminine pumps with presence. The key is to style it more femininely than usual.

And the gray coat is by Stella McCartney. Its solid tailoring, reminiscent of Savile Row, combined with its unique street-infused femininity, is perfect for creating a “glamorous masculine” look. Choosing materials that flatter the body for shirts and pants is also key.
