GENTLEMANS PT WOOL SERGE
Height: 159cm / Wearing Size: 8
The shape of these gentlemen's pants is very handy because they are wide enough to be worn with any top! The thighs are wide, but the soft fabric doesn't add bulk, so they're easy to mix and match.
They're slacks-style pants, but you can wear them with a casual outfit without feeling out of place.
They're a cool, masculine look that suits me. I wanted to create a monochrome look for AW25, so I couldn't wait to get the whole set.
I also bought the black big waffle turtleneck inner, so this is my third colour (lol). They're so easy to wear, you'd be in trouble without them. I also recommend this!

TOM BOYS DUNGAREE
Height: 163cm / Wearing Size: 6
One item that has had a particularly strong presence for me this season is the tomboy dungarees.
I like to play with colours when putting together outfits. I keep my knitwear, inner shirts and accessories in beige and brown tones, which subtly complement the denim blue of the overalls.
These tomboy dungarees are a convenient 2-way item that can be worn both in the normal way or with the shoulder straps down, so I recommend them!

ARMY CREW JERSEY BLACK
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
Nigel Cabourn's AW25 collection features many black items, and I purchased the classic Army Crew Jersey in black. I love how the black colour creates a modern feel and gives it a mature look.
This time, I wore it as an inner layer under a gentleman's jacket. You can't go wrong wearing it as a set with wool serge pants made from the same material.
When wearing it on its own, I also recommend adding accessories like badges to make it more pop. Because it's such a classic and familiar item, the key is to wear it in your own style.
【Nigel Cabourn WOMAN Ginza Novo】
Ikuyo Kiriyama
GENTLEMANS PT WOOL SERGE
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 10
My best buy was the Gentleman's Pants.
I had decided to buy this item at the exhibition, and when I later heard that they were making a special colour (black) for the Ginza and Osaka stores, I made an instant decision.
The Gentleman's Pants are slacks that can be worn casually. I think they're an item that you don't often see.
The wool serge fabric is wrinkle-resistant, which is another thing I like about them.
I coordinated them with my own pale blue corduroy jacket. Black items give an overall slimming look, so I like how they can be paired with casual items and still look neat.

JP FARMER APRON DRESS DENIM
Height: 155cm / Wearing Size: F
When I first saw the Japanese Farmer Apron Dress, I spontaneously tried wearing it like a wrap skirt and loved it so much that I decided to buy it.
I'd like to eventually use it in the kitchen. It would also be nice to splash tomato sauce on it and give it a unique flavor. Other ideas include splattering paint on it while painting the house, or wearing it camping. It would also look amazing! I don't have the courage or plans to get it dirty yet, though... (laughs)
This apron dress is perfect for inspiring all sorts of fantasies about what you can do with it, and the more you wear it, the more unique it becomes.
For this outfit, I tried to maintain the apron's authenticity while also making it fashionable. I was aiming for a style reminiscent of restaurant staff, but the key point was that I wrapped a scarf around the shoulder straps instead of a towel.
The sweatshirt is vintage, and I love the way it's worn out and has holes in it. I'd like to wear this apron until it becomes just as worn.

MIX CABLE CREW NECK
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 6
I chose the Mix Cable Crew Neck as my best buy item.
The reason I chose this item is because when I saw it in the catalogue, I fell in love with the shape and colour at first sight and knew I had to buy it!
When I actually put it on, I loved how it's not only voluminous and warm, but also so light and easy to wear.
Also, after learning the meaning of the knit pattern, my attachment to this item grew even more.
This time I tried a sweet and spicy outfit.
I layered a gathered collar blouse under the cable knit for a feminine combination, and my personal favourite is pairing it with my recently purchased rugged work boots!
I'm looking forward to enjoying coordinating more outfits with this cable knit in the future ☺︎
【THE ARMY GYM Sendai Store 】
Tomomi Kubota
COLLARLESS JK BRITISH TWEED
Height: 170cm / Wearing Size: 10
As someone who loves jacket styles, I chose this season's must-have jacket, which is perfect for me.
The elegant fabric is a luxurious combination of Harris Tweed and Moon Tweed, and the size makes it easy to layer with blouses and cut-and-sew tops.
It's a piece that will subtly elevate any outfit.
I paired it with classic cargo pants to create a sophisticated military style for women that is typical of Nigel Cabourn.
As it is collarless, it goes well with scarves and other wraps, creating a neat impression.
I also highly recommend the coat from the same series.

MIX CABLE CREW NECK
Height: 164cm / Wearing Size: 8
I chose the Mix Cable Crew Neck as my best buy.
It looks heavyweight, but I was surprised at how light it felt once I put it on.
It's made from high-quality merino wool, so it feels smooth against the skin. The cable pattern, each with its own meaning and wish, adds a nice accent to simple knitwear.
I styled it with a Cabourn Levon sports skirt.
The shoes are Blundstone and Filson collaboration boots. I was surprised at how comfortable they were the moment I put them on, and they go well with a variety of styles, so I recommend them too!

We had the cooperation of eight staff members.
Sakakibara-san's comment about her fantasy of tearing the apron dress to shreds was so cute and memorable! The fascinating thing about fashion is that it gives us a glimpse into the lifestyle of the person wearing it!
Let's have lots of fun with fashion next year too!
