About the Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME 2025SS Collection

The 2025 SS collection from Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME centers around the brand’s iconic “aesthetic of black,” with keywords such as “lightness” and “artistic freedom.” As a response to current climate changes and global affairs, the collection features designs that allow comfort even during intense heat, along with introspective yet highly expressive artistic elements.
This season, the theme of “collage to drawing” was especially prominent, with many items featuring hand-drawn-style prints and abstract brushstroke graphics. While maintaining a base in black, the collection also showcased elements beyond monochrome, using prints with strong messaging to reinforce its anti-fashion stance.

Among these, the long blouse featured in this article—the “Handwritten Print Long Blouse”—is a symbolic piece of the collection. It transcends gender norms through its naming, features an unlined design using lightweight fabric, and boldly incorporates Yohji Yamamoto’s own handwritten prints.
More details are introduced in the next item section.

Item Introduction: Handwritten Print Long Blouse

Main Overview of the Item

The main item this time, the “Handwritten Print Long Blouse (Item No: HP-B96-605)”, is a standout long shirt that represents the Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME 2025SS collection.
Though from the men’s line, it is intentionally named a “blouse” to transcend gender. Its oversized silhouette and airy feel thanks to lightweight fabric stand out, making it a perfect design for staying comfortable during hot spring and summer days.

Key Feature: Handwritten Print

The biggest charm of this long blouse lies in its special printing method called “Handwritten Print.” Based on designer Yohji Yamamoto’s own sketches and messages, the prints are applied by hand, allowing each piece to feature unique expressions like ink bleeding and fading, as well as varied line intensities.

This expresses the anti-fashion spirit that sets it apart from mass-produced clothing and vividly embodies the collection’s theme, “collage to drawing.”
It conveys a strong sense of artistic energy unconstrained by conventions.

Fabric Focus: C/Ny JERSEY B

The fabric used is a blend of 77% cotton and 23% nylon called “C/Ny JERSEY B.” Unlike typical jersey materials, it combines a moderate firmness from plain weave with a lightweight, semi-sheer finish.
Blending nylon results in a lighter and more drapey feel than 100% cotton shirts, delivering a stress-free fit even in hot weather. Despite the oversized silhouette, its airy transparency enhances the blouse’s charm without making it look heavy.

Form and Details of the Long Blouse

The blouse is designed with an extra-long length. Without clinging to the body line, the dropped shoulders help create a moderately loose form.

Though it appears simple at first glance, the placement of pockets and the front button placket add subtle detailing.
The unlined, lightweight construction ensures coolness even in midsummer. It reflects Yohji Yamamoto’s philosophy of “designing clothing that does not constrict the body,” down to the last detail.

The Message Within This Piece

The “Handwritten Print Long Blouse” stays rooted in Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME’s tradition of “black aesthetics,” while presenting highly personal and artistic elements through graphics directly reflecting the designer’s own current thoughts.
As a wearable art piece, this blouse encourages the wearer to “break free from conventions and enjoy dressing in your own way.”

Staff Comment:
“The charm lies in the designer’s handwritten sketches and messages used in the print.
You rarely find blouses like this that resemble art pieces—it’s very rare.
The fabric has both a crispness and a semi-sheer, airy texture, making it perfect for spring and summer seasons.
It’s a wonderful piece that expresses the brand’s worldview even on its own.”

3 examples of coordinated outfits - How to wear a long blouse?

Here we introduce three coordinated outfits centered around the long blouse.
Feel free to use them as references.

Spring Style That Embodies the Charm of a Long Shirt

First, we introduce a spring style that pairs loose-fitting pants with the long blouse to enhance the brand’s signature elegance and dynamic silhouette.
The lightweight fabric adds a sense of airiness perfect for spring, while still creating a refined overall look.
Leather boots are used for the footwear, adding a touch of heaviness and mode flair to further elevate the long shirt’s presence in the outfit.
This is a spring style that is widely recommended for many people during the season.

Refined Mode-Inspired Vest Style

Next is a refined mode style, accentuated by layering with a vest that features cut-out panels resembling slits, revealing the lining for added depth.
The layering of the long blouse with the vest embodies the brand’s essence even more vividly.
The loose-fit pants contrast with the sharpness of the vest, creating a beautiful, dynamic silhouette with both tension and relaxation.
The addition of a draped, elegant bag as an accessory adds the finishing touch, completing a vest style that fully expresses the brand’s worldview.

Outerwear-Inspired Style with Layered Innerwear

Lastly, we introduce a style where the long blouse is worn like outerwear, layered over a simple T-shirt for a look rich in depth and nuance.
The clean lines of the loose silhouette combined with the pants create a light and breezy impression.
Leather boots complete the outfit with a sense of unity, while the addition of a leather bag enhances the mode atmosphere.
Eyewear used as an accent further highlights individuality, resulting in a particularly striking and expressive ensemble.
It’s also great for adjusting your temperature with changing weather conditions.

4 Styling Tips to Elevate Your Look

Stand Out with Layering

Long lengths are perfect for layering. Pairing it with a jacket or vest brings out the blouse’s charm even more. In fall and winter, wear it as an inner layer under knits or coats to let the hem movement show — a great styling tip.

Be Conscious of Color Balance

Since the print makes a statement, styling with a monotone base gives the whole outfit a refined feel. Use accessories and small goods to highlight the print on the blouse.

Contrast in Texture

To complement the lightness of the C/Ny JERSEY B material, using more substantial textures like leather or heavy cotton for bottoms or shoes adds contrast and helps accentuate the blouse’s transparency and drape.

Enjoy it with a Genderless Perspective

Although part of the menswear line, this item is labeled a “blouse.” It can be styled oversized or fitted — your preference. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy fashion without being bound by gender norms.

Pre-Purchase Q&A – Addressing Common Questions

Q1. How should I choose the right size?
The length of the long blouse is about 122cm in size M (03).
For average Japanese men (170–180cm), size M offers a relaxed silhouette.
Since the blouse features drop shoulders, we recommend choosing based on length rather than width.

Q2. Can I wear it outside of spring/summer?
Although the material is lightweight and ideal for spring/summer, it can be worn in early fall or winter with layering — such as with outerwear or knitwear. Yohji Yamamoto is known for designing clothes that are “seasonless,” so this piece offers versatility throughout the year depending on your coordination.

Q3. How should I care for or clean it?
Generally, dry cleaning is recommended, but some items may be hand-washable.
Avoid ironing the print directly (or use a pressing cloth). Always check the care label and handle with care to avoid damaging the hand-printed areas.

Q4. Is it expensive? Is it worth the price?
Yohji Yamamoto POUR HOMME is a high-end line, so it is priced above typical shirts.
However, considering the unique value of hand-printed sketches by the designer himself, along with precise Japanese craftsmanship and long-term wearability, it is well worth the investment.
It’s not a mass-produced item — it carries the brand’s story and artistic value.
