Easy and modern is justice. The deep appeal of tracksuits based on adidas Sportswear's TIRO.

H: From here, I would like to talk about items and styling. What do you think are the features of this "advanced tracksuit"?

Izumi: This is a very solid garment, with black sleeve lines and body. Moreover, amidst the revival of the techie style of the 2000s, this one looks more modern than the typical tracksuit, with a glossy sheen to the material.

H: How about the size?

Izumi: The jacket has a modern silhouette with a moderate body width and a neat length. The pants are just the right size, neither too thin nor too thick. The pants are not monotonously big, but have a sophisticated, relaxed fit.

H: With a silhouette like that, it would be easy to wear in town.

Izumi: Yes, it is. If I may say so, size is important. I had the models fitted for each size, and personally, I thought it would be cooler to choose the right size and wear it moderately loose than to wear it large.

H: Now let's move on to the styling. First of all, the styling theme is "sports casual. Please tell us about the key points of your outfits.

Izumi: Over a nylon hoodie, I am wearing a dry-touch white T made of mesh material. All of the items are sporty, but they are all made of different materials.

H: What are the advantages of separating the materials?

Izumi: Since the track jacket has a matte texture, layering different materials gives a lighter impression.

H: Why did you have him wear a hoodie to give him more volume around his neck?

Izumi: The neck height was compact, so even if a hood is layered, it sits nicely around the neck. It can be worn like a blouson.

H: You let the hem of the pants go in with the socks.

Izumi: Sometimes I ride my bike, but the tapered shape allows me to sock them in comfortably and cleanly. Besides, all the cool people in American bike-riding movies had this style. This is a tribute to that.

H: In contrast, the colorful styling of the "stylish" theme.

Izumi: As I mentioned earlier, I made the track jacket look like a blouson and downplayed the casual look. Because it is a solid item, I wanted to bring in color and play with it.

H: Since it is short, it goes well with thick pants. What do you wear as innerwear?

Izumi: This cut and sewn garment is made of polyester. We chose a half-zip to get into a sporty mood.

H: Underneath that, you have a checked shirt.

Izumi: I layered the yellow of the cut-and-sew and the orange of the cargo pants to blend them together. The pants are a vivid color, so the impression is very different without it. It is a bridge between the top and the pants (laughs).

H: Check shirts stand like a volante in soccer (laughs). By the way, do you have any tips for successfully incorporating such sporty items?

Izumi: I think it is to add something with a sporty taste as a diversion. For example, layering a sporty item over a classic jacket, or matching a solid item with a colorful one. When you incorporate sporty elements with an eye to going against the grain, the styling becomes cohesive.
