Summer Style Feature.

 

Here are 5 items Kubono chose for this summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like how THIRD PLACE expresses its values. For example, a cashmere T-shirt made from luxurious material hangs next to a cotton T-shirt made with JERZEES, based on the theme of affordability and quality. I believe price is one criterion for measuring value. However, I find it interesting that they don't prioritize one value over another, as each item has a different purpose and can be used in different situations. Instead of just pairing expensive clothes with other expensive clothes, I believe choosing items in my own way can lead to discovering new value.

I own polo shirts from Fred Perry and Ralph Lauren, but I find the necklines too tight and, while I like the sleeve length, the overall length feels too long. Made from cotton pique, they have a classic look and give off a "denim-only" impression. While they might look cool on someone in their 40s or 50s, I found it difficult to incorporate them into my own style. The polo shirt made by MEIAS, however, fit perfectly. The balance between the sleeve length and overall length, which I was concerned about, is just right, and I love the slight openness at the neckline, where my collarbone is just visible. The drape of the silk is beautiful, making it completely wearable. To spend a comfortable summer, I want to enjoy the styling possibilities that this polo shirt offers.

I am drawn to the new possibilities of extreme cashmere, which offers cashmere regardless of season, age, gender, or occasion. Among this summer's extreme offerings, I chose the "cuba" model. The main point is the sizing. As a thin person under 170cm, I am particularly concerned about length. I like a balance where the back pockets are visible and my navel is not exposed when I raise both arms. This balance is ideal and doesn't restrict my choice of pants. Cashmere, with its ideal balance and reliable quality, can be naturally incorporated into any outfit. Even items that might seem bold at first glance give me a sense of security and trust in expressing my individuality, so I want to use them for a long time, even as I get older. I especially recommend them to those in their mid to late 20s, my own generation.

I prefer shorts that fall below the knee because seeing my knees can make me look childish. I own a pair of and wander shorts in size M that hit above the knee, and I use them for light hiking and going to the river. Since I bought them for a specific purpose, their function was clear. Ideally, I'd like to use them both outdoors and in the city. With that in mind, I chose sizes XL and XXL. The waistband is corded, so I can cinch it without it losing its shape, making them comfortable to wear. They're also tough and washable, which is essential for summer clothing. This suggestion caters to daily life, from active scenes like festivals and river play to travel, shopping, and playing with kids at the park, without confining them to a single purpose.

I vaguely wanted to wear the brightest white pants this summer. While I own full-length pants in slightly muted ivory tones that are easy to incorporate, white suddenly raises the difficulty level. So, I decided on shorts. Shorts allow me to stay comfortable in the summer and add small accessories here and there to tie the whole look together. The below-the-knee length offers a sense of security, and I like the slight unexpectedness of the twisted design, which also shows the brand's character. Since it's a design and color I don't own, it makes fashion fun again.
