【The Shirt Style By Brooks Brothers] Brooks Brothers, shirts and me.

Supima Cotton Oxford Button Down Dress Shirt Regent Fit ¥19,000+TAX

My own fashion style is not so much traditional, but more street-like and rough. However, Brooks Brothers' button-down shirts are a staple, and I'm familiar with them because I used to wear them from time to time when I bought them at a thrift store. Also, for me, Brooks Brothers is the navy blue blazer. In the past, I used to wear it when I wanted to look a little more formal, such as when I was on stage at a hair show.

Kazuma Baba is a hairdresser who is currently the co-owner of ICY, a hair salon in Aoyama. In addition to his reputation as a hair stylist, Baba is also known as a style icon whose fashion has long been the focus of much attention. On this occasion, he was wearing a button-down shirt made of Brooks Brothers' classic oxford fabric with a pair of easy pants, a staple item for Mr. Baba. The perfect loose balance of sizes shows Baba's unique style.

Button-down shirts are worn in a street-like style, with the larger sizing daringly chosen.

. due to my personal mood these days, I don't wear as many of the accessories and trinkets that I used to wear. . As I've gotten older, I've been able to cut back more than in the past. I used to like simple things, and I feel like I've landed in the right place. Now, I want to show a different side to fashion than dressing up.

When I coordinate clothes, I try to wear items that have something in common, such as a brand's intention or background, with each other. Of course, it is also fine to wear clothes freely without worrying about such things, but I personally want to keep that in mind. For me, Brooks Brothers is a brand that I can honestly think of as cool, including the history that the brand has cultivated and the footsteps it has made in creating many standard items. It is a brand that I want to wear well.

For over 200 years, Brooks Brothers has maintained an American traditional style. While cherishing its roots, Brooks Brothers has always been in tune with current trends and offers high-quality items, which is why its users span a wide age range. It is not uncommon to find two or three generations of parents and children who have been loyal customers of Brooks Brothers. No matter what time of year you visit a Brooks Brothers store, you will always be greeted by a variety of items that have remained the standard, and this sense of security cannot be built overnight.

Baba says that in his work, he values communication with customers.

I've been standing in a hair salon for a long time, so I want to value the relationships I have with people. I always try to be the kind of person who makes people want to have their hair cut by me.
