In our Instagram LIVE streamed on April 18th, we showcased styling centered around shirts and pants available exclusively at our online store and groundfloor Gallery.
In this article, focusing on the keyword "texture," we will introduce coordinates featuring new spring items, with an emphasis on visual lightness and the tactile feel of the materials.
Firmness and softness—spring textures housed in a single piece
METAL BEANS Series open-collar shirts are crafted from a firm cotton material adorned with hand-stitched beads.
The item balances the dignified atmosphere of a box silhouette with the glamour of beads, and its charm lies in how the expression changes as the beads subtly catch the light with every movement.
It holds its form well, yet lacks the heaviness of a structured denim jacket, making it a guaranteed go-to piece for the coming season.
Fukushima-san chose to pair this shirt with bottoms made of flowing chiffon material.
Combining it with bottoms made of soft materials like satin or chiffon accentuates the contrast with the firmness of the shirt, creating natural inflections in the styling.
The back is simple, without any beads.
This balanced, understated bead placement pairs perfectly with voluminous or highly textured bottoms.

Styling tips for a monochromatic look
Although we couldn't introduce this during the Instagram LIVE, we hope you'll consider this way of wearing it as well.
When you're wondering, "How should I pair a shirt with jewels?" or "I always wear it the same way and want a change," the trick is to stick to the same color family.
Our staff member Shimazu paired it with linen TUCK STITCHED PANTS for a coordinated look that feels unified even with contrasting material textures.
Additionally, wearing them like Fukushima-san with the METAL BEANS HALF PANTS as a set-up creates a style that makes the glamour of the beads stand out even more.

Easy pants in a glossy material, paired with sheer footwear for a light touch
WRINKLES PANELED PANTS now include a new BLACK colorway.
Even though it's called BLACK, it has a tint close to NAVY, characterized by a soft look.
The acetate material, which has a silk-like sheen, gives off a visually cooling impression. It's also light to wear, ensuring comfort throughout the day.
The RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE paired with the styling also uses a glossy material, unifying the texture from top to bottom.
It is a highly refined, impeccable look, but both the pants and blouse are wrinkle-processed, adding an overall relaxed atmosphere.
Please enjoy experimenting with the styling by rolling up the sleeves or tucking in the shirt as shown in the photo, as this creates variety even with the same outfit.

A blouse that can be worn in 2 ways
RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE is an item that can be worn as either a blouse or a camisole.
By unfastening the buttons placed on the shoulder line and using the inner straps, you can wear it as a cami top.
You can enjoy this look starting now by pairing it with a long-sleeve top underneath.
We also introduced both ways of wearing it on our Instagram LIVE, so please take a look.
