Today, we will be introducing a styling that centers on a high-neck shirt jacket from the 25-26AW collection by ZIGGY CHEN, which is available at FASCINATE_THE R (Shinsaibashi, Osaka).
We will also be touching on each of the items used in the outfit, so please read until the end.

A shirt jacket with a military-inspired design

This high-neck shirt jacket is a modern and refined take on military style. It features a loose fit with dropped shoulders and a roomy body, balancing a relaxed feel with a touch of elegance. The simple, clean lines are complemented by the subtle placement of buttons, the collar, and pockets, giving it a strong presence despite its minimalist design. The double-breasted front pairs exceptionally well with outer layers like jackets. Thanks to the brand's unique artisanal pattern-making and fabric handling techniques, the piece is designed to naturally conform to the body while creating a three-dimensional shape and enhancing movement.

The back design is characterized by its clean, minimal tailoring, which does away with unnecessary embellishments. The simple back panel, made of smooth fabric, highlights the material's natural texture and the beauty of the stitching. The rounded, high-low hem creates a natural curve and flow on the back, resulting in a three-dimensional silhouette with a dynamic look. The design flows smoothly from front to back, giving the garment a sense of completeness.

A loop button is used at the top of the neck, which also serves as a design accent. A key feature is how it changes the expression of the shirt with a single adjustment: fastening the button creates a neat, military-like look, while leaving it open gives off a relaxed, laid-back vibe. This detail allows you to freely control the impression of the piece to match the occasion or your inner layer. The seamless tailoring, where you can't feel the seams, demonstrates the brand's pattern-making expertise. This meticulously calculated design provides a stress-free fit and a beautiful, three-dimensional silhouette when worn.

We've styled a military-inspired design shirt as the main piece, complementing it with a beanie and a bag. First, we have an oversized beanie that gently hugs the head, made from luxurious 100% cashmere. The fabric's texture softens the rugged impression of the military shirt, adding a refined, warm accent. The other key accessory is a carry bag with a simple, single-compartment design perfect for daily use. Its charm lies in its suppleness, which allows it to softly conform to the body whether it's carried on the shoulder or across the body.

The bag is made from a wool-linen blend, which gives it a refined yet artisanal look that stands out. This makes it a versatile piece that can be used regardless of the season. Another attractive feature is that the fabric softens with use, allowing you to enjoy a natural, aged texture over time.

The beanie's material is defined by its smooth, moist feel and exceptional lightness. It offers excellent heat retention, keeping you warm even though it's thin, making it an ideal material for autumn and winter items. The oversized design ensures it can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender.

Wide-leg trousers with an artistic design

These artistic wide pants make a statement on their own, like a piece of art. The motif is based on "the fluidity of ink dissolving in water" and "fragments of ancient frescoes." This item elevates the accidental bleeding and textures etched by time into a unique graphic.

While the design may seem bold at first glance, the details are crafted for comfort. The waist is equipped with elastic on both sides and belt loops, allowing for a versatile fit that can be worn relaxed without a belt or cinched for a more tailored look.

The silhouette is a wide, straight cut with two tucks, designed to create a clean shape that is roomy around the waist and falls straight down the leg. The draping fabric and visual effects of the print sway with every movement, making these pants a focal point of any outfit, even when paired with a simple top. They are a statement piece that combines both presence and artistic flair.

The fabric used is a blend of cotton wool and metal threads. The suppleness of cotton, the warmth of wool, and the delicate sheen from the metal threads combine to create a modern and luxurious texture. The metal threads also give the entire fabric a unique wrinkled texture and stiffness, giving it a presence of its own.

These side-gore boots combine leathers with different textures, creating an elegant and three-dimensional design. By pairing a Vibram tank sole with a lightweight rubber material, they achieve a surprisingly light feel despite their substantial appearance. The smart form, created with a McKay-stitched construction, and a cushioned insole enhance comfort, resulting in a shoe that blends functionality with beauty. They also pair well with both wide and tapered pants, making them suitable for a wide range of styles, from modern to classic. Even in a simple outfit, they add the perfect amount of presence to your feet, completing a sophisticated, mature look.
