Lift your winter spirits with fashion
Share
Hello everyone! This is Nanako.
The temperature in Tokyo has finally dropped to single digits in the mornings and evenings. It’s gotten so chilly that you can no longer just throw on your favorite sweater and head out the door without a second thought.
But it’s precisely in this kind of season that we want to dress up a little and lift our spirits, right?
Today, I’d like to share some of my personal recommendations — items that’ll give you that extra boost of energy as we head toward the end of the year.
Kimono Collar Quilted Shirket

This quilted shirket combines a double-breasted design with our staple kimono collar.
While it carries a subtle touch of Japanese aesthetics, the neutral color options — black and ecru — make it easy to pair with any style.
Its relaxed, oversized silhouette allows for versatile layering, adding just the right amount of warmth as the season changes.
One of my personal favorite details is the quilting pattern that continues all the way up to the collar. It peeks out charmingly from under a scarf, and even when layered like a shirt.
I tried styling it with my wool jacket — here’s how it looks ↓

Convertible Fleece Trousers

These trousers feature a water-repellent, wind-resistant nylon surface combined with the soft fleece fabric. By opening the side zippers, you can switch to a straight silhouette — perfect for adjusting the shape to match your footwear.

The four-way stretch fleece fabric offers exceptional ease of movement, keeping you comfortable all day long. Great for casual outings and even your daily commute.
Unzip the two-way side zippers from the top, and hidden pockets appear.


Tuck in a pair of knit socks, throw on some GORE-TEX boots, and you’ve got the look of a true urban ninja for winter. This piece is a reliable companion for the unpredictable chill of early winter.
Boro Patched Watch Cap

This knit watch cap adds a playful touch to your winter outfits, featuring patches of our Boro Type 02 fabric. You can read more about the fabric [here].
Each patch is individually crafted, so the colors and patterns vary slightly from piece to piece. Why not come in and find your favorite in store?

Compared to previous models, this season’s version is deeper and more relaxed, offering an exceptionally comfortable fit.
We recommend the mustard and red variants introduced in FW25 as a fun pop of color.
I’ve been working as a store staff member since June, and now it’s already time to say goodbye.
During this short period, I’ve met so many cool people, heard fascinating stories, and created memories I’ll always treasure. Thanks to the mentors in the fashion industry and the kind customers who welcomed me so warmly, I’ve discovered a new meaning in customer service.
I hope our paths cross again someday to share more stories. For now, I'll leave you with a line that reminds me how unexpected and beautiful life can be:

“Life was like a box of chocolates — you never know what you’re gonna get.”
