Urban Styling for Sherpa with Stylist Ryosuke Ito | feature

Sherpa's urban styling with stylist Ryosuke Ito.

Climbing pants are synonymous with Gramicci. However, we have a feeling that jackets and pants made of Sherpa fabric, which is fuzzy like a sheep, will be the face of this winter. These items, which combine fluffy, lightweight comfort with high warmth retention, will be useful not only in the outdoor field, but also as street wear. So, how should you wear them? We asked Ryosuke Ito, a stylist with a deep knowledge of the outdoors.

Styled elegantly with a mix of traditional elements.

Sherpa is very comfortable and warm to wear. Ryosuke Ito, a stylist, looks at the jacket in its sleeves and says, "Sherpa is very comfortable and warm. The Sherpa material has a voluminous, raised feel as if it were made directly from sheep's wool, and has excellent heat retention properties. The jacquard-weave "swirl" pattern on this jacket is reminiscent of 90s outdoor wear.

I have recently been interested in pants with a narrower silhouette than wide, and I often wear them in my private life. When I saw the Sherpa jacket, the first thing that came to mind was the coordination of the 90's. I used to frequent vintage clothing stores when I was younger. When I was younger, I frequented vintage clothing stores, and I used to look with envy at people wearing large fleece jackets with denim.

By daring to match slim denim, the overall look is smartly coordinated, avoiding any sense of wildness. The combination of a leather cassock and suede chukka boots adds an elegant element to the casual look.

I really like the balance of a large top and tight bottom. Also, if I wear trekking shoes on my feet, I feel like I'm at a campsite. I'm more attracted to mixed coordination than to the more traditional style, so I added traditional elements with shoes and a cassock to create a classy look.
