Sunglass Lane, born on the West Coast, blends in well with the city.

Sunglasses are indispensable in the sun-drenched summer, but you don't want to be so focused on functionality that you neglect fashion. RAEN is an eyewear brand from California, where surf culture is deeply rooted. All frames with authentic designs are handmade, and professional surfers place great trust in the brand. We will show you how these sunglasses born on the West Coast fit in the scorching heat of Tokyo, along with style samples from five people.

Sunglasses: Lane "REMMY 52", T-shirt: Haynes, Pants: Captain Sunshine, Cap: Undercover, Shoes: Moonstar

What is the point of today's outfit?

A white T and voluminous pants are still the ironclad style for summer. Because it is so simple, I pay attention to little details such as the size and material, and I am particular about them. This "Haynes" T-shirt is useful because it is not transparent even when worn alone.

What do you base your choice of sunglasses on?

It should not be noisy in appearance. Yet, I prefer something that has a point of view that makes it a different hook when looked at closely.

What is your image of "Lane" sunglasses?

As a West Coast brand, they are very sophisticated. For example, people who are not accustomed to wearing sunglasses usually wear them, but I think they give a stylish impression. Also, the quality is high for the price.

How do you spend your days off?

With my two-year-old child, we go to zoos, aquariums, train museums, and other places.

What are your ambitions for the second half of 2019?

We will not be defeated by the sales tax!
