Beastie Boys and Jamiroquai worn by T-shirt lovers.

Insonnia PROJECTS" officially reissues T-shirts based on the motifs of artists and musicians who have influenced the designers themselves. The same American rubber prints and elaborate used finishings give the T-shirts a vintage look and feel. This season's collection features the Beastie Boys and Jamiroquai, who still shine brightly and have many fans in the fashion world. We asked four male and female T-shirt lovers with different tastes and preferences to try on these two music T-shirts that are suddenly gaining more and more attention. Not surprisingly, they all showed up wearing denim. After all, you want to wear denim with your band T-shirts, don't you?

Ryo Takasaki ×Jamiroquai The royal T-shirt style is the usual, casual style.

. - The simple T-shirt and denim style was very natural and looked as if you have been wearing it for a long time. Do you usually wear T-shirts often?

Yes . . I like to dress comfortably, so most days in the summer I wear a T-shirt or a polo shirt. I usually choose a simple T-shirt, but like today, all I wear is a T-shirt with one point on the chest and a graphic on the back print. So, today was really just the same as usual (laughs). The yellow graphic looks easy to use without being too flashy, which is nice.

-So you like your fronts to be as simple as possible?

Yes, I do. Most new T-shirts are simple, but when I wear vintage band T-shirts, I often wear those with designs on the front. I don't know much about bands, but if I think the design is cute, I buy it.

I think one of the charms of the "Insonia Projects" T-shirts worn this time is that they have the look and feel of old clothes worn over many years.

I often mix and match old and new clothes, so I like items that have a slightly old-fashioned feel to them, even if they are new. The denim I am wearing today looks like old clothes, but it is a new item with a damaged print. I thought it was great that the print on this T-shirt was also reproduced so realistically, as if the print had peeled off a bit.

-What did you keep in mind when styling today?

I think band T-shirts and denim are quite casual, but I personally like to add a bit of sophistication, such as loafers, as I did today, so I tried to balance it out with that look today.

-Do you usually choose T-shirts that are a little loose in size?

Yes . Loose-fitting T-shirts are sometimes worn tucked in, and I often choose pants that match the silhouette of the T-shirt. If I am going to tuck in a T-shirt, I choose high-waisted pants, or if the T-shirt is short, I choose flared pants. I try to choose pants that will look good with the T-shirt, without worrying about the style of the decade.

If you could wear this T-shirt in any other way than the way it is worn today, how would you style it?

I didn't wear any outerwear today, but I thought it would be cute to wear this T-shirt and cap with a slightly oversized tailored jacket on a slightly chilly day. I wear T-shirts in all seasons except midwinter, so a T-shirt with this kind of atmosphere is a must-have item.
