Please tell us why you recommend these "tapered chinos".

This original cotton-like polyester twill is both lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. They are lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. They can be worn lightly even during the sweaty season, and the stretch makes them comfortable to wear. Nowadays, many pants with a loose and slouchy silhouette are on the market, but these tapered pants are slimmer and fresher. The use of original colored zile cords for the waist spindles is also a key point.

How did you coordinate today?

To take advantage of the slim silhouette of the pants, a loose-fitting ombre check shirt cardigan is worn on top. For footwear, rather than wearing heavy-duty sneakers, I recommend wearing boots like the ones I wore today, which give a tapered shape all the way down to the hem and allow the pants to be worn neatly. For the coming season, I recommend wearing a long-sleeved polo shirt or a loose-fitting hoodie on top.

Are there any other things you are into besides fashion?

Movie watching. I would like to watch a lot of movies this summer. A while ago, I used to choose only foreign films, but recently I have started to try various genres, which has broadened my range. I often watch movies on my smartphone during my commute from home to Omiya, but even when I am at home, I watch movies while cleaning my room with my smartphone in hand (laughs). I like the feeling of leaving something to enjoy by watching it in small segments!

Do you have a place I should stop by when I come to the Omiya store?

I recommend a Chinese restaurant called Tamari. The restaurant promotes Chinese noodles, but I like the hearty pork cutlet served on top of a bowl of rice, and I often go there to eat during my lunch break with all the staff. It is a restaurant with a homey atmosphere where you are welcomed by the ladies.

BEAMS' original tapered chinos are made of 100% polyester, but have the feel of cotton and are wrinkle-resistant. The subtle design with tonal piping on the sides is a key point. ¥12,000+TAX (BEAMS LUMINE Omiya Store)
