初夏の街角と、N.Yのデニムショーツ。

A street corner in early summer and denim shorts in New York.

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.
