Effortless style proposed by Yuta Kaji. VOL.3 Leo Yoshioka

Hawkins, born in London in the 19th century, is a historic brand with its roots in military and work boots. Its tough design and solid functionality have created numerous fans, and it has been loved in a wide range of scenes from outdoor to street. In the 1990s, the brand became a symbol of Japanese culture, and is now undergoing a wave of reissue and reevaluation. The "Liam Series," a modern interpretation of this spirit, combines the presence of a classic work boot with functions such as waterproofing and cushioning, and has evolved into a pair that can be worn alongside urban life. Once again, stylist Yuta Kaji will incorporate these boots into his everyday styling. The third guest is freelance director Leo Yoshioka. His sensibility and Kaji's filter overlap to reveal a new look of "Hawkins".

Style 04. formal with a playful touch.

Lastly, a bright knit hat is inserted into the jacket style. The approach of lightly mixing formal and casual, contradictory elements, looks fresh.

I felt that a suit-like set-up and a colorful knit cap was an unlikely combination. I thought it would look fresh and new now. White T-shirts and prints are fine, but if you dare to wear a simple gray innerwear, you can create an urban mood.

Liam Lace" adds lightness while tightening the overall look of such a look.

'Sneakers wouldn't be bad, but that would make the whole thing blurry. That's why I like the Liam lace. They have the brawn of a work boot, but the stitching details are elegant and effective."

The fun part of styling is that a single accessory can change the impression. Hawkins is the only company that can take an urban look while maintaining the context of classic outdoor wear. Enjoy the new interpretation of the set-up that "Liam Race" leads you to.
