The Keyword: "Freshness"



"I want to elevate everyday wear this season, with that image in mind for styling. The theme is 'renew a casual vibe,'" says Chiaki Takahashi, buyer for Adam et Ropé. The oversized coats, designed to envelop the body, may appear casual at first glance, but they create a sophisticated atmosphere when viewed as part of the entire look.

We're eager to try Takahashi's suggested styling techniques for incorporating overcoats into our daily wardrobes with effortless flair!

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

A variety of bottoms, such as skinny pants, cropped pants, and jogger pants with a sporty feel. When styling with overcoats, choosing bottoms that are compact and create a sleek silhouette is key.

──What are the styling tips?

I want to create a look with a sense of effortless ease, rather than being overly dressed up. This doesn't mean sloppy or too relaxed; it's about having a sense of intention with each item while maintaining an overall naturalness (i.e., everyday wear). Adding a touch of freshness to the balance when combining each item is the key, I believe.

The checked overcoat from Bellrose, which can easily look casual, can be worn simply over denim and a shirt. Here, however, the look is transformed by cinching the waist with a charming dress. The versatility of overcoats allows for easy shifts in style depending on how you wear them.

This mod coat was chosen from "Yves Salomon," a long-established fur brand. With a full rabbit fur lining, even this classic mod coat has a sophisticated, fur-coat-like feel. When wearing it oversized, balance it with delicate leggings or skinny pants. Coordinating with cool-toned colors rather than warm ones creates an urban look.
