Warm Biz: Go for a Three-Piece!

From basic styling to cool biz without a tie, it's all covered! The mook "Understand and Be Convinced: The New Rules of the Suit," born from the NHK Marutoku Magazine text, starts with the essential rules for choosing suits, shirts, and ties from fashion professional Hiroshi Morioka, and also covers color and pattern/material coordination.

In addition to the basic rules of suit wearing, it adds information on Cool Biz, which was less detailed in the original broadcast text, and explains new rules for going without a tie.

For the upcoming Warm Biz season, it introduces an easy and original three-piece style by "adding a knit vest to your existing suit." It also explains how to utilize coats and scarves.

Furthermore, it includes tips on accessories, mix-and-match styling, and care, making it a valuable resource for businessmen year-round.

The author, Hiroshi Morioka, who served as an instructor on E-tele, has specially provided the following comment.

"A suit style in work is about embodying your attitude towards your job. And wearing a suit correctly is not an exaggeration to say it is a business skill in itself.

Why is that? Because it serves as an important presentation tool to convey respect and consideration for the other party, as well as your enthusiasm and attitude towards your own work. Therefore, the priority should not be on being fashionable, but on achieving an intelligent, clean, appealing, and considerate refined style.

In this book, we remove excessive adornment unnecessary in the office and introduce simple, practical, and foolproof styling points.

What are the rules for correct styling? How do you choose a suit? How do you tie a neat tie? It answers your questions clearly and serves as a guide to styling that allows you to work with confidence.

I would be delighted if this book helps you tackle your work without worrying about your business style."
