. can be worn on par with shoes that are treated as dressy.
This work has a synthetic leather upper made of Eco-Pet leather. Is the so-called man-made leather a hurdle in terms of choosing things?
TEPPEI: . I no longer have the feeling that "it has to be real leather" at all. For example, vegan leather is being developed at such a rapid pace that some of it is as expensive as real leather.
TEPPEI: I also think that synthetic leather is often evaluated based on how it compares to real leather, but I think it should be evaluated as a single material, not as a contrast to leather. In the past, there was a negative impression that it would deteriorate after a few years, but that is not the case at all now.
Indeed, I feel that this value may be a bit old-fashioned, isn't it? By the way, what kind of coordination did you have in mind today?
TEPPEI: First of all, I thought I could wear these shoes as much as other shoes that have been treated as dressy, without being conscious of the keywords "The North Face" or "town use".
TEPPEI: Also, moccasin designs can look old-fashioned if the balance is off even a little, but I had the impression that the balance of these shoes was designed to be easy for anyone to wear.
I see.
TEPPEI: . So, to be honest, I think it will fit in well with any outfit. One thing I would say is that since it has a cologne and volume, I think it would be more balanced if you put a point on top of it so that it would not be overpowered.
By the way, do you often wear black shoes and black socks?
TEPPEI: Black is the most common color. About 60% of my clothes are black. I don't wear white very often, and if I do wear white, it is usually with a design.
It is always difficult to find the right balance between socks and shoes, but how did you choose your socks today?
TEPPEI: If you put a point on the socks, that's where the eye will be drawn, isn't it . That's one thing, but today, the velour of the pants, the synthetic leather of the shoes, and the socks, I thought the three different textures were enough.
I would also like to ask about the balance between the shape of the pants and the shoes.
TEPPEI:
Today it is wide , and the length is a little shorter. Personally, I like it short, so I did it this way, but I think full-length would also work.
Also, the waist is high, but the top is shortened to match the waist. . This is a bit of a sensory thing, but I personally like to create a lot of borders. This is true for all of my outfits, but even for T-shirts, I take the long ones to the extreme and put in the ones that are halfway down the line. I like to create distinctive separations to emphasize the overall styling.
. Finally, is there anything I should pay attention to in terms of coordination when wearing these shoes?
TEPPEI: I think they are really very utilitarian and versatile shoes. They can be worn on any day, by any person, and fit perfectly with strong styles. They can also play a supporting role and be the star of the show at the same time. I don't think there are many shoes that are so versatile.
