MONTHLY JOURNAL Jun. vol.1 ACCESSORY IS NECESSARY

12 accessories that may or may not be necessary, but are kind of nice to have.

A waist pouch, a pair of date glasses, a belt, and a scarf. They may or may not be necessary, but they are more comfortable, add a bit of depth, and are "something nice. HOUYHNHNM likes such fashion accessories. However, these accessories are quite profound. It requires more relative thinking than choosing ordinary clothes, and there is no formula for the right answer. But it is in these things that the wearer's individuality can be seen through. So, here are 12 "accessories that may or may not be necessary, but are nice to have," selected by the editorial staff at their own discretion and prejudice, with examples of what they are worn with and without.

WAIST POUCH
Pouch on the waist .

There are many images of what you might wear at a festival or outdoors, or what an old man would wear... but in the end, it all depends on how you use it and what you match it with. It is precisely because the wearer's skill is put to the test that we want to try them out, and that is where the fun of fashion lies. Here are three gems.
In this project, waist bags and hip bags are collectively referred to as waist pouches.

CAYL
Cale's "Fanny Pack Grid"

Bags as Gear.
Backpacks and messengers are easy to use, but more active people choose waist pouches. As the name suggests, a waist pouch is attached around the waist, so it is stable, easy to take things out, and completely frees up the upper body. If you are looking for a more functional bag, the Korean brand "Cale" is the best solution. It has perfect functionality, but the materials, colors, and form are all very thoughtful and can even be used in a fashion context. However, if you are planning to wear them in the city, functional clothing is just not the right match. . You will want to balance it out with a pair of well-mannered slacks and a T-shirt. Since the center of gravity is at the waist, it is wise to keep clothes as simple as possible.

Caledoor
Caledor's "Rambling Bag"

Various ways to attach and play with it .
Game shirts are not limited to spectator wear, but are also excellent for street wear. Such a functional and well-designed item is a perfect match for a waist pouch. Caledore" is a brand that makes clothes based on the British rambling culture. Therefore, the brand is filled with many of the elements necessary for walking. If you want to add an adult's sense of fun, how about wearing chino shorts for a casual look with a healthy touch of orange? Furthermore, just as a game shirt shows off the team you are rooting for, pins are a great way to express your favorite culture. By the way, there are four ways to attach this bag. Whether it is soccer, sumo, or any other sport, it is always better to have a variety of handbags, isn't it?

PLATFORM
Spare pocket" in plat form

Finishing yellow.
A waist pouch can serve many purposes, but one of them is to add an accent as an accessory. Even in a coordinated look with gray tones of different materials, the presence of all the items will stand out just by adding a waist pouch. This bright yellow pouch is made by Platform, a garage gear manufacturer in Miyagi Prefecture. The size of the pouch is not justified by its small size, but is rather small enough to hold the bare essentials. The material is X-PAC, a tough three-layered material derived from yacht sails. It will not give a bland impression, but will give a more urban mood.
