Sherpa's urban styling with stylist Ryosuke Ito.

The Sherpa series includes not only jackets but also pants. Like the jacket, these pants have a relaxed silhouette with a 90's mood. At first glance, it may look challenging, but the pattern makes it look stylish and more impressive.

I thought it would be good to bring a patterned top to pants with such a bold pattern. Of course, a solid color would also work, but that would be boring. And rather than a clean plaid shirt, a vintage flannel shirt like this would add a layer of culture or depth to the outfit.

It is the balance of colors," says Ito, "that gives a sense of unity even when the patterns are matched. By focusing on two colors, blue and khaki, the outfit is well put together.

Rather than creating a statement with the silhouette, I thought it would be more appropriate to match the color of these pants with the shirt, pants, and shoes, all in blue. However, if I had used blue for the cap and outerwear as well, it would have looked too much, so I added khaki to create a more relaxed atmosphere.

However, many people think that "pattern on pattern" is more difficult. So, Mr. Ito offered the following advice.

In contrast to the raised look of Sherpa, I think it is good to use a shiny nylon or shell-like material for the top. It is an excellent match with such shiny items. And of course, I also recommend wearing it with a set-up.
