Dip-Dye Shirt x Chemical Wash Jeans

Shibuya, who favors jeans in her personal style, chose a pair of chemical wash skinny jeans—a rare appearance in the DIESEL line—and a dip-dyed shirt from the preview collection. This styling balances the casual feel of chemical wash denim with the nuanced elegance of the shirt.

The soft gradient from gray to purple in the shirt harmonizes beautifully with the chemical wash pattern, creating a refined look. Purple is a trending color this season, noted across various brands. While the sheer fabric is on-trend, the layering ensures it's not overly transparent. These skinny jeans are an exceptionally slim fit, but the deep rise and stretch make them as comfortable and easy to wear as leggings. They offer excellent shaping, creating a slimmer, more flattering leg line. I'm wearing them two sizes up today.

Her watch features a small, striking dial with a diamond-shaped frame. "Currently, delicate, small bracelet-style watches are more popular than oversized, masculine ones. They don't overpower an outfit and pair well with both casual and dressy looks."

She also carries a clutch made of glossy calf leather, known for its popular classic silhouette. "This bag, with its consistent design, changes material each season—from denim to nylon—and remains a favorite. It features a zip that divides it into two sections and an inner pocket, offering ample storage despite its compact appearance."


For the approaching summer, items that can be styled as a complete outfit are essential. Shibuya recommends a new dress from the preview collection, crafted from rayon. "It can be worn as a dress with a long black tank top layered underneath, or adjusted with the waist tie to a shorter length for a tunic style, offering two distinct looks. The long, three-quarter sleeves provide protection from air conditioning. Adorned with a trendy floral pattern, it maintains a feminine impression even when paired with jeans."

The Key to Choosing Jeans Is Sizing

The Japan-exclusive model of the "FAYZA" jeans, characterized by its boyfriend silhouette, has just arrived. "The artful design and distressing are unique to this Japanese original. Details like the 'patching' on the reverse side of all distressed areas and the knee panel construction make these appealing even to those who might typically shy away from a boyish cut or distressed look. While boyfriend jeans are usually styled oversized, rolled up, and paired with high heels, this model can be worn femininely even with flat shoes," she recommends.

Shibuya, who has been in charge of denim for two years at DIESEL, a brand leading denim trends, shares her advice on choosing jeans: "The key is sizing. Depending on the design and fit, some DIESEL jeans are best worn oversized, while others should be worn tighter. Don't be fixated on your usual size; choose a size that matches the image you have for the occasion, and you'll find the perfect pair. It's also good not to be too set on a specific color. The color and fit that suit you can change depending on your top. Please tell me the scene you envision for wearing the jeans, whether it's to look elegant with a blouse or for casual everyday wear."
