Today at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi), we are introducing a styling look featuring the Balloon Shirt from the 25-26AW collection by the brands we carry.
We will also touch on each item used in this look, so please read through to the end.
O PROJECT Versatile Shirt with Distinctive Balloon Silhouette
First up is a balloon shirt by O PROJECT that features a drawcord balloon design with understated elegance and playful yet functional design.
With a short hem length, the drawcord at the bottom allows the silhouette to transform into a gathered, balloon-style drape that frames the waistline with dimension.
This distinct design elevates the styling presence, while still allowing easy layering over long-length inner pieces for an effortless mode-inspired layered look.
This shirt retains a clean spread collar, button placket, and cuff design with a minimal finish, reflecting a deconstructed yet elegant modern wardrobe interpretation.
Its drawcord hem is both a styling accent and a functional detail, allowing you to either tighten it for volume or leave it loose for subtle mode-layering expressions.
The silhouette is a comfortable box-cut design with generous width that can be worn lightly as outerwear without losing shape when layered over thicker inner pieces.
Tightening the hem drawcord further enhances dimension and highlights the balloon shape.
This roomy shape also works well over thicker inner pieces or even as a light outer styling top.
The material blends linen and wool for softness, insulation, and moisture-balance with a slightly textured but surprisingly light surface.
The fabric continues to improve its character over time, developing more vibrancy and sheen with continued wear, allowing seasonless-adjacent versatility.
The featured T-shirt is from the ISO 2025-26 Autumn Winter collection—an ultra-comfortable essential for everyday life.
Its base fabric is a fine-count high-density plain-knit “Tenjiku jersey” made from ultra-soft cotton yarn.
Sewn using “double-needle pocket-bag stitching,” its seams are intentionally exposed for subtle industrial styling accents.
The neckline binder is raw-cut, and sleeves and hems are four-needle-stitched for a subtle vintage nuance.
For both solo wear and layering, it achieves a composed silhouette that is balanced and effortless for everyday use.
For eyewear, we selected RIGARDS’ round flame horn frame made of genuine water buffalo horn.
The unique Uni Black & White color, combined with a matte front surface and polished mirror-finished inner rims, as well as lightweight titanium-alloy temples, adds warmth and individuality.
By placing this natural material against one or more dark-tone avant-garde items like the O PROJECT balloon shirt, the coat transforms into a striking “intellectual accent,” elevating the richness of the overall style while adding movement, depth, and sharp modern nuance. It remains a quietly functional, uniquely luxurious detail to brighten everyday life.
O PROJECT Work Wide Pants
For bottoms, we paired these relaxed wide easy pants from the same brand.
The biggest highlight is the nuanced color called TAUPE — a tone richened brown-like shade with depth.
This deep color, combined with the comfortable draped loose silhouette, creates a look that feels modern and refined, without becoming overly casual.
The waist uses a drawcord design, providing exceptional comfort.
Although the fit is wide and relaxed, the calculated drape keeps it from looking messy — achieving a stylish and balanced pair that merges ease with contemporary aesthetics.
These work-inspired wide easy pants feature a waist drawcord for easy size adjustment — no belt needed.
The design stays clean with minimal details — but is accented by strong workwear elements, especially the shape of the front side pockets and large back patch hip pocket.
These details subtly assert a rugged functional beauty while adding a striking everyday-edge to the overall minimalist object-language the brand pursues.
The pants feature a high-rise, wide straight silhouette.
Although relaxed in fit, the tapered drape ensures they don’t lean sloppy, giving a composed look with contemporary adaptability.
Especially the calm TAUPE color supports soft casual styling and works gently against shirts and tops without losing edge or practicality.
The material is wool-based, giving insulation, moisture-balancing, and elasticity while carrying a subtle matte sheen.
The fabric resists wrinkles well, feels soft to the touch, and supports versatile wear across three seasons except high summer heat.
This material remains part of the brand’s quietly rugged multi-season everyday wardrobe and looks light but holds strong durability.
The hem creates a natural pooled draping expression (“tamari” effect).
Pairing these with solid-toe sculpted short shoes like GUIDI gives depth and anchored balance.
The shoes’ rugged, round volume supports the wide pants silhouette, creating a modern relaxed but grounded coordinate with functional everyday rugged nuance.
