Last season's Series, "Nano Universe and the Stylist," is making a comeback! This season, our "fashion professional" stylist will once again examine the items and offer suggestions on how to wear them to discover the deep appeal of each item.

The items introduced here were a honeymoon collaboration for "Nano Universe" [J].PENDLETONThis is a special-order series from the "KARAKUCHI" brand. The lineup includes three types of knitwear, cardigans, and CPO jackets in a jacquard weave with a traditional Native American "Harding" motif in the pattern.

Custom-made Jacquard Knit Crew Neck ¥12,000+TAX

First, let's talk about the crew neck, which is arranged in a slightly roomy silhouette that hides the waist. Mr. Araki gives the following styling tips.

I felt that the jacquard weave was good, giving the knit a soft and fluffy impression. The pattern also has a strong presence, so I wanted to make it stand out when styling it. I think the key is to keep the matching items as simple as possible. A pair of slightly tapered chinos or wide chinos will give it a classy look.

It depends on the character of the wearer, but as long as it is an American-style item, it should not become old-fashioned. By considering the balance with other items, the knitwear will look more vibrant.

Bespoke Jacquard Knit Cardigan ¥14,000+TAX

Next is a cardigan. The buttons have been changed to concho buttons as a special order point.

The concho buttons are a very masculine touch. Like the knit above, I would like to wear this cardigan in a simple way, for example, with a white T as an inner layer to enjoy the cardigan's good qualities. Be careful not to wear it with tired indigo denim or it will look old-fashioned.

Special Order Twill CPO Jacket ¥13,000+TAX

The third is a block-checked CPO jacket. The buttons on the breast pocket are arranged in silver, and other clever arrangements are hidden to prevent the item from becoming too American-casual.

The lineup also includes a black version with a modern atmosphere.

I think you can avoid looking too drab by playing around with materials such as faux-suede pants. Try adding a sporty item to the outfit for a different look.

Pendleton's special-order series combines masculinity and a high-quality texture. The key to any of these items is to combine them with other items.
