. as long as you choose the right size, it will work well as outside clothing.

Do you have anything in mind when wearing sweatshirts as a set-up?

Miyoshi:I am very conscious of my size selection. I am wearing an "oversize fit" parka and pants, and I am wearing a "L" size parka and "XL" pants. If they are too tight, they look like a nightgown, and Japanese people have shorter arms and legs than people from overseas, so I think they are inferior in terms of style. . Therefore, it is better to wear a larger size to round out the silhouette.

. Then it's a matter of what to wear with outerwear. When I am in Nakameguro, I usually wear a down coat for a sporty look, but in places like Aoyama, it would be too casual. So, I think it is better to wear a long coat, not to the point of dressing up, but with a more or less beautiful atmosphere.

As for shoes, I think "New Balance" is the best match for the sweatshirt set-up.

I think the moderate volume of "New Balance" is good for you.

Miyoshi:Yes, that's right. I think the relaxed mood of the sweatshirt matches the nice, unrefined silhouette of the "New Balance" shoes.

Do you pay attention to socks as well?

Miyoshi:. I wear the ones that are a bit puffy and ribbed. Socks that look more like loose socks go better with them than dressier socks. It's fun to change the silhouette by adding in socks depending on my mood.

If you were to give advice to readers on how to dress for this "1000 SERIES", what would you want to say to them?

Miyoshi:. It's the size, after all. When we talk with our business partners, we find that many of them are still reluctant to wear sweatpants. If they are plain, they look more like pajamas. However, as long as you choose the right size, I think they can function well as outside wear.

As you mentioned earlier, you are aware of the roundness of the larger size.

Miyoshi:Yes, that's right. And you can't go wrong if you wear "New Balance" shoes on your feet (laughs).

Lastly, what are your expectations for "New Balance" in the future?

Miyoshi:This may contradict what I said earlier when I was asked about the image of the brand, but . I really like the brand, and one of my goals is to create something together someday. So I would be happy if they collaborate with a small store like ours. I would appreciate it if you could broaden the scope of your business (laughs).
