Urgent Call. Figure out why people love the White T.

White T's are a staple, and that's why we are so particular about them. Hanes, which celebrated its 120th anniversary this year, has captivated even fashion lovers with such an uncompromising attitude. In particular, the pack T "Hanes Japan Fit®" has many particular points of interest, such as a silhouette and fit that suits Japanese people, and a 5.3-ounce fabric that is not easily see-through. However, where people find value in these items is up to each individual. How about the three of us? We asked them to cross-talk, bringing items that they each think go well with white T-shirts. White T-shirts are truly versatile because they can be worn in so many different ways.

Everyone has a white T aesthetic.

Let me ask you this: How often do you wear a white T-shirt?

Kei Hashimoto ("Kei"):I wear white T-shirts all year round. To begin with, I rarely wear T-shirts with flashy graphics.

Kang Fuchigami ("Kang"):I like white T-shirts so much that I use them in my own way. I wear "Haines" by itself, but I often wear it as an inner layer of a shirt or something.

Coney Plankton ("Coney"):I often wear band T-shirts and dark-colored T-shirts, but there are times when I feel the urge to wear a white T-shirt. I tend to choose white T-shirts when I want to look strong and cool. Today, I chose black as my base color to create the image of a strong woman like Sarah Connor in Terminator.

Kuei:I like it! I have the same feeling, too.

The dress you are wearing today is a Haynes Japan Fit. The sleeveless dress that Connie is wearing is also a women's Haynes Japan Fit.

Can:That's nice, very nice. I want to wear sleeveless too.

Kuei:I'm jealous of the women's expansion. Cut-and-sew sleeveless is different from tank tops, so it definitely looks better on girls than on guys.

How do you feel about the Haynes Japan Fit?

Connie:It is fluffy and very comfortable. It is nice that the silhouette is beautiful even though it is moderately loose.

Can:The thickness of 5.3 ounces is just right, so that it does not affect outerwear, but it is also suitable to be worn alone. White T-shirts are an item that can be worn every day, so I usually don't think about it that much, but when I checked the comfort of it again, I was surprised at how comfortable it was.

Kuei:It's quite a shock, isn't it? I would wear this everyday.

Do you have any personal rules when wearing white T-shirts?

Connie:I try not to stain as much as possible. But in the end, they get dirty, so I try to remove the stains right away.

Kuei:I, on the other hand, want to wear it without worrying about it. If it gets dirty, I can wear it as loungewear.

Can:Damage and stains show a person's story, right?

Kuei:Indeed. I also like to wear denim pants with a white T. As for shoes, I often coordinate simply with low-tech sneakers or loafers.

Connie:I too would like to wear denim pants with it. White denim would also go well.

〈Haynes] "2P Japan Fit for HER Sleeveless T-Shirt (2-Pack)" ¥3,080(ONLINE STORE)

I like the all-white coordinate!

Connie:I often wear a one-tone white coordinate in spring and summer. Sometimes I even wear shoes in white.

Kuei:I would like to try all-white, too, but I feel like I have to choose the right person, so it's hard for me to try.

Can:It looks good on the contrary.

Kuei:Really? I like to wear white T-shirts smartly (laughs), though I like to roll up the sleeves of my T-shirts in a manly way. I personally think it's cooler to be a little worn out and a little scruffy, rather than oversized and always fresh, like a B-boy.

(Haines) "2P Japan Fit Crew Neck T-Shirt (Pack of 2)" ¥2,970(ONLINE STORE)

Can:Oh, that's nice. I also like to wear a slightly worn white T under a patterned shirt, rather than a freshly undressed shirt. In that sense, "Haines" is easy to use because it blends in just right.

That aloha shirt is very typical of you, Kang.

Can:I like this aloha so much that I have it in different colors. It gives a good sense of appropriateness (laughs). If I wear it with a patterned shirt, I definitely wear a white T. If I wear a colored T, I feel like I'm trying too hard to be fashionable.

Connie:I've never worn a design like this before, so it was new to me. Cute!
