Today, from Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME, available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka Shinsaibashi), we will be introducing in detail the Standard BIG Shirt and Box Pleat Pants from the 25-26AW collection.

A Big Shirt That Shows Its Appeal in Movement: Straight Drapes and Layered Hemline

Minimal Design with No Excess Ornamentation / Front Placket Without Concealed Buttons Creates a Subtle Accent

As its name suggests, this is a standard shirt designed with a big silhouette.
Stripped of unnecessary details, it showcases a minimal look where the natural drape of the fabric takes center stage.
The front placket opens with visible buttons, rather than a hidden placket.

The visible stitching and straight button line add a modest accent.
Thanks to its basic design, it is highly versatile—pairing naturally not only with Yohji Yamamoto trousers, but also with wide, tapered, or tailored slacks from other brands.

Oversized Volume and Long Hemline Create Straight Drapes and a Layered Effect

The silhouette is designed with calculated roominess to accentuate fabric movement with body motion.
The combination of generous cutting and fluid synthetic fabric brings out the shirt’s appeal more while walking than at rest.

The long hemline and oversized cut create vertical drapes that flow with every step.
A difference in front and back lengths emphasizes the layered look from the side view.
Its compatibility ranges from voluminous wide pants to crease-front slacks, making it easy to achieve a well-balanced silhouette.

Triacetate × Polyester Crepe de Chine — Lightweight, Wrinkle-Resistant, and Rich in Shadows

The material used is crepe de Chine: 57% triacetate / 43% polyester.
With tightly twisted weft yarns and a dense plain weave, it produces a subtle sheen and rich drape, giving off an elegant atmosphere.

In addition, it is lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and even in black, its surface easily creates shadows in the fabric folds, enhancing the three-dimensional feel of the oversized silhouette.
Crepe de Chine, with its fine grainy texture, is a lightweight fabric that can be worn comfortably across multiple seasons.
It was carefully chosen to bring out expressive depth and shadows in motion.

Box Pleat Pants: Cylindrical Volume with Adjustable Features

Deep Inverted (Box) Pleats and Minimal Look / Adjustable Waist & Hem

These trousers feature deep inverted (box) pleats along the front, creating vertical drapes that stand out while walking.
The waist and hem are adjustable, allowing you to control the volume to suit different styling needs.
With minimal decoration, the glossy fabric and pleat shadows create a refined, understated expression.

Unlike knife pleats that fold in one direction, box pleats fold symmetrically left and right, producing a cylindrical volume.
This structural difference gives rise to a silhouette that feels more “solid” and architectural rather than fluid, evoking the presence of traditional hakama.

Wide-to-Culotte Proportions × Cropped Length for a Clean Finish

The proportions range from wide to culotte-like, with the pleats forming broad surfaces from thigh to hem.
The cropped length (ankle-revealing cut) gives the trousers a clean look at the bottom, creating a light and balanced impression.

The structural box pleats distribute volume evenly, providing comfort that envelops the body despite the visual fullness.
The actual fit is a relaxed wide silhouette with volume around the waist.
With each step, the fabric captures air, swaying into elegant drapes.

Same Crepe de Chine Fabric — Balancing Drape and Practicality

The fabric is made of 57% triacetate and 43% polyester.
Characterized by supple drape and gentle luster, achieved through tightly twisted weft yarns and a dense plain weave.
Lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and easy to wear for daily use.

The deep pleats create highlights and shadows that shift with movement, producing expressive variations.
The smooth texture keeps the fabric away from the skin, making it comfortable across seasons.
With its refined touch, the fabric feels pleasant against the skin, highlighting its quality with every wear.

Express Your Own Style with Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME

In this styling, the straight drape of the Standard Big Shirt is layered with the structured volume of the Box Pleat Pants, creating a look centered around cascading “shadows of black.”
At the feet, we recommend balancing the cropped length with voluminous derby shoes or minimalist leather sandals.
In cooler seasons, layering an outerwear piece such as a long jacket or lightweight coat further emphasizes the high-low hem and pleated shadows.
The combination of the big shirt and box pleats adds a nuanced sense of “movement” to your everyday style.
