Trad is more free.

The basis of traditional clothing is literally traditional men's clothing. Because they are timeless basics, they can be worn with any kind of clothing. However, my current mood is to dress it up with a streetwise perspective. For example, a beige coat paired with baggy shorts, or a tatter sole check shirt worn over a track jacket. The same goes for the pink suede loafers. In other words, the idea is to wear a standard item in an unusual way. This open-minded interpretation is the current form of traditional.

Like the Dartmouth College students in "Take IVy," he wears an anorak and white shorts for an athletic look. The East Coast style was paired with Western boots. Mr. Ralph Lauren wore western boots with his tuxedo, and this mix of different cultures was used as a reference. The short length of the pants makes the boots stand out and gives a dressy feel to an active outfit. Traditional and Western, which seem like opposites, are actually a good match.

The cricket sweater was originally worn by English gentlemen when they played cricket. If you want to wear this traditional sports-inspired item today, the best way to break it up is to layer it. To this end, we propose the swing top. Both are British-born sportswear, unpretentious yet elegant. So layering is casual chic, and even a hair band will fit in easily. Besides, peeking dog ears through the V-neck is definitely a new traditional way of dressing.

Nowadays, when rough attire is the norm, I'm rather interested in a classic style. That's why I wear a jacket and tie-up. I want to enjoy it as a casual, everyday wear, so the shirt should be soft with a round collar and the chinos should be loosely sized. A designer jacket with a playful touch takes the orthodox traditional style to the next level. Regimental stripes, gun club checks, and tartan checks. Layering traditional patterns is also a play on patterns because we know the context.

Trad is originally supposed to limit the number of colors. But you don't have to be restricted to that. A rugby shirt, colorful paisley denim, and yellow socks. Even a bold use of color can be done tastefully if there is a classic axis. Paisley, by the way, is a venerable pattern that has been used for neckties and pocket handkerchiefs. It is not as classic as tartan check or argyle, but that is why it is just right for adding a traditional touch. The formal opera pumps are the perfect footwear to finish off the look.

Two polo shirts layered with a cable knit over the shoulder. It is precisely in such a standard outfit that we want to add our own twist to it. It is okay to make even the slightest modification, such as wearing loose denim with the hem tucked in, or adding a necklace or bandana around the neck. The important thing is to understand the rules and not to break the mold. This attitude was taught to me by the styles of Tyler the Creator and other black people who play with trad. Their way of dressing is the free trad style that we want to emulate today.
