A street corner in early summer and denim shorts in New York.
NagaoDaisuke From May onwards
The wind touching my skin gradually becomes lighter.
Suddenly, I felt the smell of summer in the morning air.
That day marks the start of shorts season.
This may be something of a habit now.

Once upon a time
There will be a year when I don't wear shorts.
Sometimes it lasted a long time.
Clothes that are somehow too "comfortable"
I thought it didn't suit my style.
But now, nearly 10 years later
After May, it will naturally
A pair of shorts appears from the back of the closet.

The reason is clear.
To be easy.
However
Don't be sloppy.
And above all, while relaxing your shoulders,
The shape is clearly defined.
The one that meets these conditions is
It's denim shorts.

What changed my attitude towards denim shorts?
15 years ago in New York
It was when I visited.
Brooklyn in the middle of summer
Bedford Avenue
People walking down the street.
A casual T-shirt and casual denim shorts.
Wear sneakers or sandals on your feet.
That's all it is, but it's strangely cool.
Instead of fighting the heat
A style that seems to entrust itself to others.
That relaxed balance
I was a little jealous
I remember.

In New York, dressing is a way of life
It's extremely close.
Instead of worrying about what others think
Choose your clothes so that you can check your contours.
So, even if you dress casually,
His back is straight.
That town has a "feeling of hard work"
It has a natural aesthetic that doesn't feel out of place.
Denim shorts too
It was a piece that supported that aesthetic.


Just cut off
An artsy piece with patchwork
Made with high-quality twill denim
Tailored minimalism—
Each one
It seemed to speak to the wearer's philosophy.
In Japan, finally
Such a "loose" style
I think I'm getting used to it.
There are more and more stylish young people
Looking around the city
More and more people are choosing their clothes to express themselves.
However
Still, I think about it sometimes.
That New York, casual
Like a strong outfit
More "coolness without words"
I think it might be a good idea.
Denim shorts are
Such a silent style
It is a rare thing that can be created.
It's cool, easy, yet still has style.
I want you to wear it in the summer
Denim shorts too
Standby at the store.

This summer too
With such a book
I want to walk around the city.
Early summer in Kyoto
With a touch of midsummer New York.
