Q1: What is the point of today's coordination?
Tabubo: . Since I own a mountaineering equipment store, I incorporated outdoor items while keeping an adult-like elegance to the finished product. The store also offers custom-made shirts, and the one worn here is an original shirt made of lightweight and durable ripstop polyester fabric. The inner layer is a merino wool turtleneck with antibacterial and deodorant properties, and the pants are old clothes. I coordinated the outdoor wear and work-derived pants with sporty sneakers, mixing various elements, with the image of connecting them all together. The retro mood of "Top Ten" works as a point of reference.
Q2. What is the appeal of vintage clothing? Please tell us about any recent vintage clothing purchases you have made.
Tabubo: . the charm of vintage clothing is that you can catch the latest trends unexpectedly. . I often go to vintage clothing stores to investigate what kind of clothes young kids are interested in. . I recently purchased a Korean military jacket. It was the first time I had seen Korean military items, and I think it is the joy of secondhand clothing to be able to encounter clothes with a fresh sense of style.
Q3. How do you feel about wearing this work?
Tabubo: . They are just a classic model of "adidas Originals," and they look even cooler when you wear them. The classic form and exquisite coloring add just the right amount of accent to a simple color scheme like this one, and I thought they were very easy to use. They are not too assertive, but just right for an adult's sense of fun.
Q4. How did you find this work with old clothes?
Tabubo: Work-brand pants and "adidas" have been a standard combination since I was a student, so in a way, I felt comfortable wearing them because they went together as well as I had imagined. I think it is a typical part of "Top Ten" that it blends in from street to dress without any particular awareness. . It was also a great match with the orange socks.
