Hiroshima has finally gotten cooler.
The sky is a deep, high blue, and I'm commuting in long sleeves, feeling the autumn.
I'm so happy... so happy...!
This is a continuation of my last post, but we have new arrivals today too!!
New arrivals just keep coming.
Once again, Veritecoeur has arrived, so let me introduce it first.
Veritecoeur PN Blouson [VC-2662U]
Veritecoeur Chef Shirt [VC-2633B]
Veritecoeur Chef Pants [VC-2634B]
Well, unless you're actually a chef, wearing these as a set might be a bit of a challenge.
But as they're workwear-inspired, they're incredibly comfortable.
The fabric is a soft cotton-linen, durable enough for hard work.
The blue with stripes makes you look sharp.
The shirt is versatile - it can be worn alone, as a light jacket, or under a coat.
And you can't see it at all, but the pants have a cotton lining down to the knees, making them practical!
And you still can't see it, but it's pink!
Such hidden style.
Also, the polyester-nylon blouson is light and easy to throw on.
It's probably the one you'll end up wearing the most.
Next up are two brands from Comme des Garçons.
noir kei ninomiya Compressed Wool Jacket [3N-J006-051]
noir kei ninomiya Plaid Wool Gabardine Skirt [3N-S010-051]
Of the noir items that arrived this month, the skirt is my personal favorite.
The comfort, length, and design are all excellent.
The balance of sweet ruffles and monochrome check makes me want to try pairing it with all sorts of outfits.
The jacket is definitely cool, but it's a bit too much for my size...
I admire adults who can wear it so stylishly.
Will that day ever come for me...?
Next is my personal recommendation from tao.
tao Polyester Herringbone Quilted China Jacket [TN-J002-051]
tao Polyester Twill Product-Washed Pants [TN-P011-051]
A China jacket, hmm, yes, it's good.
Lately, I tend to choose oversized outerwear, but I want to wear this jacket with a neat, fitted look.
I don't want to wear anything too bulky underneath; if it's cold, I'd rather layer a knitted stole or coat over it.
Still, it's padded.
This design with the padded quilting is unique and great!
Speaking of padded China jackets, TOUJOURS's China coverall jacket will also be arriving soon.
It's a cotton-silk velvet fabric series, and being TOUJOURS, it's loose-fitting.
The arrival date is still undetermined, but please look forward to it!
I'll write a proper summary of TOUJOURS next time. Maybe next month...
Masnou design Ascot Tie Shirt JS-60 D [143]
The Masnou design shirt comes with a tie.
It's not removable, but the way you tie it changes the look.
Don't overthink it, just a simple knot looks great.
The fabric is simply excellent, so it's a pleasure to wear.
It's a unisex brand, so it's sharply cool, and the ribbon isn't overly sweet.
I think it would look good paired with a long skirt, too.
Next up is Masnou design again, this time a Glen check in cotton fabric.
Masnou design US Coat GF-22 [313]
Masnou design Model Pants GF-22 [A-14b]
A coat and pants with a crisp feel that hold their shape even without styling.
Like the shirt above, they appear plain from a distance, but the pattern is woven with fine threads.
Even though it's simple, when I wear it, I often get asked, "Where is that from?"
Masnou.
Everything is spot on, so I want to gradually add more to my wardrobe.
Let's move on quickly, next is obafer, which was just uploaded online today (9/24).
obaferLambswool Guernsey Sweater (Short) (QUIET) [2404]
So incredibly cute...!
This is a softer lambswool sweater than the cardigan I'll introduce later.
The embroidery, which changes every year, is done stitch by stitch by the designer herself.
When I first met Obafer, I was surprised that she was a young and charming girl (no offense!), but her designs have a touch of mischievousness (in a good way!) and are items that people of all ages would want to wear.
This year's knit embroidery says QUIET DON'T DISTERB.
Apparently, the reversed 'S' signifies a state of panic.
When you wear it, the neckline is exceptionally good, and it looks even cuter when layered over a shirt.
obafer Guernsey Cardigan (Short) (Plain) [2409] is also easy to wear and has a cute silhouette.
The yarn is sturdier and more substantial than the sweater.
The long ribbed cuffs and hem add definition.
It wears more loosely than it looks, and the back has a cute, slightly puffed silhouette like a blouson.
The best part is that you can wear it casually and often.
Its versatility to cover everything from city wear to a trip to the local supermarket is its charm.
Both the sweater and the cardigan come in a short length and a looser long length.
obafer Guernsey Cardigan (Long) (Plain) [2410]
Finally, BUNON'sStripe & Flower [BN2496].
The polka dot version sold out so quickly, but this Stripe & Flower is also lovely.
The edges have delicate ruffles, and the center of the flowers, which I thought was foil print, actually has glittery thread sewn into it.
It subtly sparkles depending on the light.
When you feel like something's missing, just throw it on or tuck it into your neckline, and it might even brighten up your face a shade!
Thank you for sticking with me this far.
I still couldn't wrap it all up...
To be continued in vol.3....
