Modern Sporty Mix: How to Wear It for Adults

This season, DIESEL BLACK GOLD showcased a range of tailoring, from orthodox jackets cut slim and compact in the body and sleeves, to military jackets inspired by officer uniforms, and tuxedos. What stood out was the mix-and-match style with sporty items themed around "motocross."

"Incorporating sporty elements is a trend, and it's a styling I personally like," says stylist Toshihiro Oku. However, simply wearing sporty items casually can look childish and not very current. For an elegant and sophisticated adult look, overall balance is key.

"Either use them as a way to break up a clean outfit, or incorporate basic items into a sporty look. Whichever you choose as your base, the key is to make it look smart," Oku explains. His tips are surprisingly simple: "Pair with simple items, and match the color tones of your top and bottom. Unifying the colors and patterns, and wearing them neatly, creates a sophisticated look." As the photos show, coordinating with orthodox items like shirts and jackets is a good approach. This suggests you might be able to achieve the look with items you already own, without needing to buy much else.



Another notable elementthis season's collectionwas the graphic items. The linear designs easily blend into simple styles and pair well with sporty items. Additionally, the pop patterns, inspired by 80s street art, serve as accents for your outfit. "Simple, clean styles are universally appealing and form the basis of an adult wardrobe, but without care, they can become unoriginal and boring. Introducing items with a unique twist can completely change your impression."

Speaking of "unique twists," that's something DIESEL BLACK GOLD excels at. The looks styled by Toshihiro Oku this timeare featured herefeature items with clever details and a distinctive flair. They are sure to update your usual wardrobe for the current season.

The Key is Imbalance!? Mixing Two Opposing Elements

"They incorporate trendy sporty details and have a street vibe. Yet, the materials and silhouettes are feminine, allowing for a playful yet sophisticated adult finish even in casual outfits." When asked for this year's styling approach, she emphasized "mixing opposing elements."



For example, pairing a men's-style jacket with a flared dress creates a mix of items with different characters. Alternatively, if you keep your clothing compact, opt for a statement bag. Enjoy the play of volume imbalance.

"The trick is to unify the overall color scheme. Even when mixing patterns, studs, and various elements, unifying the colors makes them blend seamlessly. Also, incorporating structured items like shirts and tailored pants prevents the look from becoming childish and adds a feminine touch."

Impactful designs serve as accents on their own, and even basic pairings like a shirt with denim can be transformed by changing the material or silhouette. Without needing to overthink, the power to complete an outfit with a single piece is unique to a brand with a well-established style. You're sure to find killer items that break away from your usual wardrobe.
